I wanna know how you guys get the SMS.

I'm using the Dlink DIR 451 with the PCMCIA aircard 875. No sms coming my way as far as my hardware is concerned. LOL.

And recently my speed has gone up. But that's not saying much since my speed has never been faster than dial-up in the 1st place. Loading pictures is a nightmare and youtube... you can forget youtube.

I think celcom fair usage policy is fairer for the d98 package users but for D68 folks its a joke.


From reading the whole celcom , thread..I've found out that celcom caps your D68 pacakge to 64 Kbps (aka australian style/ISDN speed) once you have reached the 5GB limit whereas for D98 users they would cap you to 1Mbps (Which is reasonable). as for maxis , regardless of the package that you use , they'll cap you to 256Kbps.

i'm using phone as modem. so i got the sms. my sim include a voice package also. how can i survive 5GB/month. this is indeed ridiculous

Here's the joke of the century - I tried loading speedtest yesterday night and it didn't manage to load completely. In fact it timed out after 10 minutes even after refreshing the loading on Opera.

My area doesn't have phone lines yet so I don't really have much of a choice. Maxis BB is pretty hopeless in my area too.

Actually you still can do surfing/download/etc after the 5GB monthly allocation. but your connection speed will be slightly slower, mine left max 21KB/s after receiving the 5GB notification, normal speed around 43KB/s. tested this after late midnight, if during daylight sure slow one.

if wan download, must go for fix line. I so appreciate got wifi service as i am mobile user. For those who use wifi to dl, u are destroying and disturbing those who really need wifi.

i'm not sure whether they really cap my download. now my download speed never higher than 10KB/s even after i use accelerator. maybe they really cap my download. worst thing is even surfing website also really slow.

w ow.. how the heck do you get that kind of speed even with throttling? Whats your setup like? Where is your location?

now i confirm already, my download speed never surpass 10KB/s. average is 6KB/s only. i tested my connection about 2 days and the speed never improve. i use netlimiter 2 monitor to monitor my trafic. now my location is in kulim, kedah. I'm sure this area is fine. cause early this month i got max speed. After i exceed the usage, this is what i got. i don't mine if they want to cap my speed. but cap at <10KB/s is to much.

is celcom bb getting slower or it is just my pc getting to old???


no throttling, just use my nokia 6680 as my modem, staying at shah alam. haya, since yesterday my speed cannot go more than 16kB/s. maybe next week less than 10kB/s.


yes, i also having same problem since 2 days ago. i guess celcom really cap our speed. what the means of 3G 384kbps broadband if we still getting dial-up speed. this suck, so much for fair usage. cannot bare the slow anymore, guess i have to stop my subscription for a while until the speed back to normal.

today i called celcom complaint. well that at least i can do although i hate to call them. they said to wait 24hours because celcom has major problem in their network and it should have settled by 9th may which was yesterday. if problem still persist, i'm going to call again. this time i'll want to ask them at what speed they actually capped my speed.

they always have problem with their network lar
Earlier around Feb/March, I called, same answer

Now, my postpaid + their broadband due RM300++ and I don't know why I should pay them

Ask them send prove to me, they send me a list of internet usage with time/date and total amount

and that tooks them 2 months to print out...

now i malas to contact neither to pay them already

confirm, celcom capped me at 7KB/s which is similar to dial up which is 56kbps. see the picture below. their fair usage policy is unfair to me.

My connection is good actually, but the limit of 5Gig really make me scared.
My usage is almost 5Gig, now it is 4.8Gig already.
My current speed:

But if they cap my speed how much can i get? :: sob sob...

the 5Gb/month is amazingly ridiculous

So for those who did call celcom - are they "still having problems with their 3G network" or what?

Dumb excuses.

me did call..
yeah.. seems like they are having problems too..
even the customer service officer and among their colleuges are receiving less than 10kbps nowadays.. and i did propose for the management to give out rebates due to the poor service delivered.

sorry guys no intro about me... cut it short.. hahaha..

and somehow did receive e-mail from their customer service as follows:-

TQ.

Always a Celcom subscribber since 2001.
ex-019378xxx
now-01933xxxxx

after about 1 year of using celcom broadband D68 package,i think this period is the worse of services and also the worse speed that i ever use

i think my line was throttle to 128kbps,i try speedtest and got about an average of 120-125kbps only. never got any sms about the 5GB limit on their fair usage policy.....

i think the fair policy is not fair enuff,any ISP with no limit on bandwidth and got a good services ???

it just time to me to terminated my celcom broadband,wait until 23 MAY 2008 as their say now their network got a problem...

got flyers about ezzit just now... will find out later!

well, who knows, maybe they 'll do the samething with maxis, increase the cap....well.. MAYBE
