So you're working part-time now to cover your expenses ?

Anyway the 7 days return policy should apply only to the new subscribers.

which means lucky for me.. im neither here nor there now,
anyone can tell me the advantages of celcom over maxis(besides the fact that it is able to torrent)?

coz right now i really dont see any difference lor... probably the hardware wise maxis has more advantage coz the bulky one im using runs on a rj-45(LAN) which can be hooked up to a hub/switch and shared easily.. these celcom usb modems are pretty neat if you travel alot and have a lappy.. but it gets rather complicated if you want to share the conn with other pc's using ICS sigh...

Only selling things on Internet that also I'm kinda lazy.

Well, PTPTN gives some extra money for our tuition fees so I just use that money as my pocket money. If really dry up already, I have to open my mouth to ask from parents but not much around RM 150-250 the most.

OK, thanks.

Then you shouldn't be lazy, work hard to get more income for the D98.

Anyway as a student I think whatever connection is sufficient enough to be used in the campus as long as it isn't a dial-up connection that costs a bomb when used frequently.

I think D68 is kinda sufficient to me now.

Yeah, actually I have free connection at my apartment but the connection gets slower as days pass.

Complained for endless times but no action has been taken, I can't take it anymore as I need to do my Final Year Project and lots of research articles and journals are waiting for me to read them.

So, Celcom 3G is the best for me as Streamyx is not so good, we have holidays and I go back quite often to my hometown, quite wasteful if I install Streamyx.

im still doubt whether my account was throttled or it was a network problem...as im only connected with 2 bar (-96dbm)

usually i'll get 4 bar with -77dbm, guess thats wht fluctuate the speed

n tonite speed is slightly better...lol

but browsing lowyat forum was fine, quite smooth...as my opera browser shows that its on 13-15 KB/s average for d transfer speed

Most probably there a whole lot of users connected at your area. I'm getting my normal speeds and also in penang.

Yea luckily Celcom Broadband works for you especially when you are getting decent speeds with the D68 plan, some unlucky ones are getting around <100kbps and that's bad.

I only use XunLei for big BT files, more than 500MB. It hogs up a lot of bandwidth and I hardly can surf the Internet though I have put the limit for download and upload speed.

Woo, be prepared Celcom comes after you if you are on D68.

Hope you can share your settings with me.

After all XunLei is known to be a "selfish" torrent program so it is no surprise that it hogs up the bandwidth, however limiting a lower connection value and also the upload speed will help.

Appreciate it.

Just noticed that you are a Celcom BB agent.

Any chance to share D50 package with us? Desperately in need for this package.

as i got from the celcom people, celcom and streamyx dun share the same pipe within malaysia. they all join at MYIX, then go out of malaysia on the same pipe.

so, those bt mysteries could be that, those seeds/shares within malaysia will get a good speed, whereas overseas gets stuck.

Added on May 2, 2008, 8:37 am(WTF) looking for the magazine some time ago that compares the broadband speed between maxis and celcom around malaysia. Need it to do my report.

By the way, this is the link to the add on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2360.

Is this add-on only for XP users?

I can't install it because I'm using VISTA and it says that the add-on is not compatible with my version of Firefox.

The only advantage Celcom has for me is more UMTS and HSDPA coverage area.
