Digi Broadband

with 2 comments

I have been staying with Digi and their slow (but reliable) Edge network all this while, hoping that, when they finally get their 3G act in order all this waiting would be worth it. So, I was a little excited when they finally account their broadband packages at http://www.digi.com.my/broadband/index.html .

Sadly, the excitement only last a couple of seconds. The 3G-based broadband is NOT accessible within my existing voice account. You will be given separate sim card purely for the broadband access which cannot be use with any voice services.

I don’t understand why DiGi would want to chase the most crowded space, land-based broadband when there are simply tons of other providers. I am sure there are thousands of Edge user who would readily upgrade their account to 3G-based network in an instance. Instead, they roll out yet another wireless internet services that require expensive modems. Opening this service to their existing customer, who already own 3G phones would greatly speed up their adoption. It will also reverse the voice user migration from their service to other 3G enabled provider.

I am so disappointed with DiGi..
