I notice most of the time when I want to browse Google Map and looking for direction while it is raining outside, the 3G coverage will be gone and unable to browse Internet. Is it DiGi 3G service not reliable? I am not too sure. I seldom use 3G from DiGi unless there is urgency to search for online information.

The 3G signal is there but all the internet service is not working. The 3G internet service will become normal again after the heavy rain is gone away. Hope the 3G signal will be stronger even in the heavy rain in the future.
