The ONE Plan was created following a P1 research by Frost & Sullivan which showed that 93% of broadband users in Malaysia compromised their broadband experience by using their mobile dongles at home and, as a result, were frustrated with their broadband services.
Lai explained, "Mobile dongles are optimized for outdoor use, not indoor use. For indoor use, you need a device with a larger antenna and connected to a higher voltage power source to ensure stronger signal strength. The comparatively weaker mobile dongle with smaller antenna and powered via the laptop would not be able to perform as well as a home modem, especially through layers of walls indoors."
Customers are also compromising their broadband experience when using the dongle at home because usage quotas on mobile broadband plans are meant only for light surfing, emails and keeping up to date with social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter, not for heavy use.
Using a mobile dongle at home also means you miss out on sharing your Internet with others. The HOME modem provides WiFi for your whole house so that up to ten different devices can log on and use the same Internet account. That includes any device which is WiFi-enabled such as the iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, Android phones, smart phones and PS3 to name a few.
"Using the right modem in the right environment is very important to get a better broadband experience. Using your mobile dongle at home is 'POTONG STIM™!" Lai said.
