anyone face the problem where the modem auto disconnect? shows "no device"... i'm afraid the thing is getting faulty... if yes need claim warranty already... @@

happened 4-5 times today no matter wat position i put it, tried to change 2 usb ports as well, still same issue...

hope it doesnt happen again... really irritating >.<

this cant be the network issue.. i suspect is the USB modem itself having some manufacturer's fault in it?

so far i used the modem today the first time i face this

yea i always face that.. it's normal...

as long the connection still on i'm ok

could be network related then... using D68 or D98?

for D68 once slow will drop lower than usual...

try using other methods to improve speed such as using google chrome, opendns, placing ur modem nearer to the window...

if all else fails, time to switch to another service provider

another thing i wish to add is that maxis broadband offers a much lower cap then celcom, not to mention u cant use torrent or p2p downloading at all with it...

so far 5gb is just nice for me, consider that i stream videos, download a few anime and browsing everyday...

maxis is like 3gb cap for their 90 buck package?

please take note that wireless will always have cap

for celcom is 5GB for P98... is that enough for you?

and for wireless there will at times be stability issues, such as line unable to connect to 3G, disconnect by itself

if really is celcom's end, so far no issue after logging a case to them (u have to insist to log to their network team) and it can settle in less than 2-3 hours

streamyx support pissed? celcom aint better bro.. their support oso sucks, but if ur streamyx always give u problem, i suggest u give celcom a try

but rmbr, u cant download as much like last time, once celcom capped u ur speed reli gonna suck alot

and u cant play online games, gonna be unstable... might disconnect urself once the line breaks... (have to go out reconnect back)

so, are u sure?

Added on September 5, 2009, 11:23 pmPS: one thing good tho is that u can carry that mini USB modem anywhr u want!! that is the pure sheer advantage of such a small wireless

anyway, imho celcom beats maxis wireless anytime... it is so far the best out of all that i've tried... excluding wimax, havent get the chance as im outta coverage

crowded, popular areas shud have no issues...

have u checked the coverage map?

http://202.190.116.141/CelcomCoverageIIPub...comCoverage.jsp

means ur area signal weak

Created a guide for OpenDNS...

(assuming that you are using mobile connect)

Directions:

1. go to manage connections > view > new


2. put any name for your new connection


3. enter the two IPs as in opendns.com


4. press the arrow once to make your new connection at the top (so that only the top one connects not the bottom one)
note: what "automatic" does is that it saves you the hassle from pressing "connect" each time you plug in the USB modem or when you just boot up the comp.. I find it more convenient this way


5. it is certified that you are always running on opendns, less hassle than the guide on the site itself

yes it's free...

good to see that it improved your speed and performance

bad connections at certain times is normal, even with opendns

reason is simple, more users clogging the network or network traffic is high...

even with opendns, there could be larger amounts of people using it at this specific time, thus causing a slowdown

u cant always get 100% smooth and fast network in malaysia, unless u are in US or UK or some other well developed part of the world.. now that's a real broadband...

yes i've experienced it as well with certain sites...

opendns is a solution to it...

yea.. will become very slow...

learn to budget the quota till end of the month...

downloads are the killers... or watching lots of video streaming...

yea seems like raya mood is on... KL traffic smoooth

glad it helped u guys...

celcom default dns is still not as good as the orang putih's opendns..

duno till when it's free... till then keep using ba

u malaysian or not?

glad it helped...

if u wan faster u can try using google chrome browser (best worked with a core 2 pc platform), can beat the loading time of mozilla firefox

something that celcom can improve on for stability...

i hate it when 3G and HSDPA switch frequently...

that is why prove that celcom is number 1 in coverage... marxis sure kalah...

guys, i noticed that leaving the USB broadband modem flat actually improves the pickup and speed...

previously I had it danggling from my window, seems like the gravity pull makes it weaker and sometimes dc by itself

now i leave it on a flat surface, a much more stabler connection i'm getting
