hmmm so now the package is rm98 per month and i need sign contract with them for 18months to get the free modem?

It's up to you. My recommendation is take the package only and buy modem at garage sales. You can terminate the service anytime as you like.

Tonight's speed....

If using speed test jaring.. it would be slower i think...

don know why they don take care abot this.. Don know it might cz of station setting o not.

Somemore, if cant download more than 5GB, that means it is limited broadband... right?

once you are throttled due to exceed 5GB than they will release 1st of next month.the cap is a monthly cap.

celcom fair usage said 5gb but more than 10 gb celcom will start take note. see how good celcom is. to be safe download heavyly after 25th every month.

I also think celcom didn't really capped us at 5GB, but not sure whether it is 10GB or what. Currently my usage is around 7GB and still doesn't see any capping. If we know the real limit, we can stretch to the max. Anyone can share their experience?
Anyway, I saw some forumer being throttle, but then later unthrottle again. If that's the case, we can fully BT until kena throttle, then rest for a week, then continue the cycle.

well,
i get throttle into my 6th month using D68 package.
my Bandwidth software recorded that i have downloaded 60GB stuff during Jan until June before capping thingy come in.

The problem once u get cap....u are only 80kbps(10KBPs) surfing....damn slow...time out often

cancel SiowCom ....go to Digi Edge but cannot stand the slow speed since i am use to SiowCom 384kbps...argg

cancel lator Digi Edge.....try the "new kid on the block" which piggy back Celcom...hahaha...Maybe Celcom need to do "anwar"

guess what!!

Speed is great...paying only D58 for up to 3.6Mbps.....the highest i got is 2.8Mbps stable onalost early morning everyday although dc often happen once a while.

My software recorder that i have downloaded
87GB[SIZE=7][COLOR=red]

from 15 july and today....

Actually U Mobile has its own 3G network in the Klang valley, which means they use their own bandwidth, for data (BB wireless Internet) services. The Siowcom piggyback-ride is only true for its voice network, outside the Klang Valley, as far as I know.

Yes, that's true because I've tested and my friend is the International Roaming Executive for U-Mobile told me before.

Well, as far as I know U-Mobile has 5GB cap too right? Just that maybe there are not many users yet, thus it is not implemented.

My connection is back.

I hope all those Celcom BB user from Klang Valley move to umobile in bulk. This will at least let Celcom feel the power of consumer. Furthermore, we must support umobile so that it can grow nationwide. More competitor is always good for consumers!!!
So, 9M-MAS, pls continue to promote umobile to everyone.

I just register DiGi EDGE, but unfortunately my W660i does not support EDGE, so I just use GPRS instead.
