DiGi Broadband + Newest Family: BumbleTock

Hooray for DiGi! Just last week I twitted that I was too busy to meet up with an agent to get the new DiGi promotion at RM58/month, RM15/month for the modem (unlocked, unlike other telcos) and RM5 off via credit card payment, and the next thing they do is to send a super efficient and friendly rep (no, it's not the DiGi Man!) to come meet me at the office and within 1+ hour, there it was: 3G Turbo speed mobile internet with a likely download speed of 700kbps and upload of 200kbps.

And that's just RM68/month for 1 year for mobile internet! Of course the speed and all is

It time gift-giver too http://www.geneticfairness.org/ When I cheap winter in I.

yet to be determined, time for some Speedtest.net fun >:-)

The best part about it is that it goes perfectly well with BumbleTock, which used to be my sister's. Now it's mine >:-D

Plug and play!

Lemme introduce BumbleTock. It's approximately 2/3rd of my current laptop's size!

All should go well, except that I installed the awesome Ubuntu Remix for Netbook here, so it's not really functioning out-of-the-box. If I had Windows 7 configured to this computer then it’s a different ball game altogether

However I was impressed that the Ubuntu remix had an option to choose DiGi! Now all I need is the APN code. Can someone please provide me with it?

Otherwise all is swell. I think I'm falling in love with my Sony Viao Atombook + BumbleTock + DiGi Broadband MIX

Should I submit this to the competition that DiGi is having here? Well I certainly met the condition >>

If you've activated your Broadband Done Right modem from 1 November to 6 December 2009 , then we wanna hear you. Show us your best Internet Done Right experience in a picture and we'll give you a new HP Mini with Windows 7 pre-installed. HP Mini will be given out daily till 6 December 2009.

Maybe I'll give it a shot then, cause there's always room for another netbook!

Pimp my ride: Done the DIGI way

Most of you have already seen postings of PimpMyBroadband by other bloggers and twitterers, an initiative by Digi Broadband to allow consumers to share their thoughts, or rather, rants on the current broadband situation. I believe it’s a brave call by them, consumer-based brands are by far too afraid to stand up and try their best to meet up to the service standards that they promised to us. Also before this, there hasn’t been any united call for changes to be done for our broadband services, let alone most complaints are done anonymously due to a certain fear that most Malaysians can identify with: the lack of protection for those who voice out their opinions.

Well I believe with Digi’s Pimp My Broadband campaign, along with such marketing brilliance to provide freebies such as free monthly usage of Digi Broadband (for a fixed amount of time I suspect :P), has managed to answer all the problems listed above. This time, we are hearing from REAL entities, with REAL experience and best of all, comes from a source that will not be able to control pictures, stories or videos that participants will be uploading for the this campaign.

This means that Digi has managed to give voice to broadband consumers in Malaysia, a real step ahead of their competitors who I feel delivered a few low blows in a bid to acquire clients from rivals. One notable example is Streamyx’s advert in Fly.FM’s radio channel which implied they beat their fellow “yellow” rivals in a boxing match.

If you ask for nothing, you get nothing. This is a chance for you to join your fellow friends and family in a bid to hasten our technology progression to at least Singapore’s standards. Korea and Japan are light years ahead of us already in terms of broadband speed and reach, so let’s not even get there. Let’s get heard, and get heard in style.

All you contestants just need to do is:

1. put up a blog entry with either video, or just a regular one with pictures, telling us why you want to pimp your broadband

2. link to pimpmybroadband.com.my (like so :P)

3. Submit the entry on pimpmybroadband.com.my, and get your friends to vote for you!

Once that happens, YOU stand to win 6 laptops (including a macbook air, and a macbook pro), and free DiGi broadband subscriptions. Now how cool is that for an incentive?

We all start somewhere, and I’m glad to say, at least Digi has taken the next step in taking into account our interest as consumers of the internet (ps- follow Digi via Twitter here!)
