Umobile is cheating on consumers!

When u subscribe umobile broadband first 7 days u can surf up Internet very fast.

After that they will throttle your speed, block a lot of ports, block application and encourage u to unsubscribe!

When you cannot withhold with their bad service, during termination of service they will want you compensate RM800 for unsubcription!

It is true. I worked before with Umobile. Their technical team is limiting yr Internet speed.

At first day of subscrition, i’m very satisfied with the service but now seem to slower and slower. Even when i do speedtest i still show around 1mb but i still facing page downloading problem. when i click enter to search for a page i will show no receiving packets for around 20second than it will load the page.

Wah that’s fast for you guys….. The place i stayed is damansara perdana area. My speedtest using u mobile only got me 350+kbps for downloading and 80+kbps on uploading and this is the fastest I get so far on 1 out of the 4 days I tested during the free trial. The other days was going as slow as 50kbps to 90kbps on downloading. Sometimes it’s like totally no response. All these are based on signal bar of 2 to 3 bar. Was thinking at least I can bring with me when I go for travelling. Too bad, I have to go back to streamyx.

u mobile is great..i’ve just signed up few days ago..the speed at my place in kajang is awesome..
dl=1400kb/s(average)
up=slow, 60-70kb/s(average)
very stable, even though i only get 1 bar..
download torrent and other p2p can reach up to 80kb/s..
direct link download can get nearly 200kb/s..
but there is limitation until 5gb only per month..
dont know what will happen if we xceed the limitation..

So far i love u mobile.. better than my r.i.p streamyx

I can easly download 50MB within 5 minutes with U mobile now…

1MB streamyx = rm 79
3.6MB U mobile = rm 80 (highest speed i have 2.8Mbps)

Average speed at my home (jalan klang lama) about 800kbps ~ 1.6Mbps

The real fact about umobile DL & UL

Download average speed = 1800kbps = 225kBps
Upload average speed = 60kbps = 7.5kBps

Obviously, Umobile upload speed is extremely slow. I also noticed that umobile has been throttled or banned any download manager software such as bitcomet, free download manager, xunlei, etc.

If u use any of the mentioned software, you won’t be able to download files smoothly, they will lag you.

About the download speed, they actually achive the speed of 1.8Mbps but their routers are not configured to the optimum setting therefore everyone get jammed when browsing the websites, except izzi.com.my perhaps under the same internet cloud therefore we can surf this izzi pages very fast at 1.8Mbps!!!

Conclusion, umobile is sucking now but i do not know their future, and how long they will improve their congested network.
