A Mobile Broadband War is now on between Digi, P1, Celcom & Maxis

It’s nice to see some competition in the mobile broadband space, particularly from Celcom, Digi & P1. Maxis doesn’t seem to be doing much other than launching modems with different designs. Seriously wtf? FYI: Maxis is at the bottom of the list when it comes to mobile broadband, I tried their broadband service around Kelana Jaya, and my relatives in Tropicana did too. It sucks. Service is very bad considering, especially considering that these are what you call ‘prime areas’ which have some of the highest earnings per household - these should be some of your best customers, really. And their website is devoid of any useful information, asking you to CALL to find out more. Wow.

Digi has taken the trouble to compile a ballsy comparision chart that compares them quite favourably…except for a few key things. While their ‘guaranteed speed’ promise is pretty interesting, they are the most expensive of the bunch. At least they are honest.



Might be good to compile another comparision chart, I’m pretty sure there are some other things worth mentioning.

Meanwhile, P1 has a pretty good package of an Acer Netbook + their mobile broadband solution, the suggestively named WIGGY. 2 year contract.
