Hi everyone,
Just started using Celcom D98 yesterday as a backup for my screamyx connection...



I would like to ask, how can I check my total usage (total amount of data I have used)? Another thing is how to I check whether I'm connected to 3G, GPRS or HSDPA? Please guide me here, thank you very much.

Regards,
ziafang.

What type of modem you use? And where's your location?

Hopefully.

Ok. This is my speed, this morning.

Need to ask something,

anyone knows how to detect mobile broadband speed? if i were using normal usb modem it's easier to detect which clearly i can see the network connected speed which stated HSDPA or 3G or GPRS speed, but in this case, i'm using 5800xm as a modem and connect via my laptop using nokia ovi.

the problem is, i cannot see what is my current connection speed when i connected via mobile modem. Is there any solution or software or other method which i can see current broadband speed connected? thanks

after installed tcpoptimizer, speed increased a bit from 0.19 down

Mind sharing the configuration of TCPoptimizer that u used?

Hi Kobis Bunga,
I'm using Vodafone K3565 modem at Pujut 3 area in Miri, Sarawak.

Regards,
ziafang.

i just select the optimal settings and put the connection speed to 20000
thats all..

notice that using the speedtest if using hosted by optimal the rate is higher than hosted by VDSL

is celcom broadband that bad? my place is covered by HSDPA, hmmm wondering if it's ok for online gaming (and is 5GB enough for online gaming?)

Mobile broadband is not suitable for online gaming due to its high latency; might face significant lagging during gameplay
But some of us here do online gaming with celcom broadband. Quite ok la.. game still playable That's what i heard
and i think 5GB is enough for online gaming

thanks, i guess with money back guarantee, i have nothing to lose

agree with u..
just go for stremyx for online gamers

Yeah. You should try it yourself, then you know
Good luck

ah dEsTiNyy, unfortunately it seems streamyx is "sold out" in BU6 bandar utama area :-(
sucks man, malaysia isp

For K3565, you can see the LED indicator and the mobile partner software. If dark green indicates GPRS/EDGE, dark blue 3G, and light blue for HSDPA.
And you also can check the coverage if you use celcom. Just type *118#, call.answer 3,3,1 it will show your current coverage.

For your data usage, you can call the careline centre. I think you can't check it online. And in the software it calculate data usage for you. just go to view usage and you can see there, but maybe the amount of usage is not exactly the same with what celcom calculated for you. Better call them.

And, if you reaching the limit, they will send you SMS, 'usually'.

Hope this help

oh and, if i test celcom within 7 days, and don't like it, i will get back every cent i paid? and are there any limits to the testing period? and celcom user is not binded by any contract right?

IIANM, you can try it within 7 days after you register and after that you can ask for full refund. Take some time tho, for the refund.
Someone pls correct me if i'm wrong

You're not bind to any contract if you subscribe to contractless package Make sure you ask before you register

thank u, de4thscythell, my sweet prince
selamat berpuasa

hard to know how much total usage.
for network connectivity, you can check on your modem dialer software


previously i use N81 for celcom D68, and it's hard to detect the current connection speed. i mostly refers to my download manager since i'm heavy downloader

No prob. You too puasa? Selamat berpuasa to you too

But i'm not really sure about the refund tho Better you directly ask celcom about it, they should know better
Just to make sure and to prevent any mishap after you register
