ok have just signed up for yes, wimax, from the yes centre at kl sentral. i am using the huddle, where the computers can connect via wifi only (the usb cable is only for charging). now connected with ubuntu 10.04 nbr.
paid for the rm1199 package using the 0% installment (rm50 over 24 months). this gives the huddle for 'free' with rm800 credit. converting the credit to value pack will give me 5x 10GB. running speedtest.net from presint 9 putrajaya gives me 4.5mbps download and 1.5mbps upload. so much better than maxis. the go dongle does not work with linux. according to the sales rep, the buzz hphone doesnt work with linux ;-( . unfortunately, i did not bring my netbook to test this out. considering that i can connect to the internet with my 'oldie' 3g phone, then i would think it is technically possible. but the sales rep did mention that there will be another model coming out (not sure when), so will wait for that. by the way, with 1 account, can have up to three devices using that account. oppss... just did a retest on speedtest.net, this time got 5.7mbps download and 1.8mbps upload.
