I've been using Celcom weekly broaband for quite some time, and I've been getting a download speed of 45kbps when downloading file.
Was wondering if Celcom also throttle download speed for their monthly package. Enlighten me up please! |

QUOTE(shyey @ Mar 16 2011, 07:11 PM) nope as far as i know. Sorry, I didn't make my self clear, reread my own post and I realized that they will only throttle after you have used up your volume ( depends on your plan, as mine is 5GB)   I am using celcom weekly broadband prepaid that gaves me a 2 gb of volume quota, surfing is not a problem, however, I am only getting 45kbps flat when I was downloading file, which mean that Celcom is capping my speed whether I used up my volume or not.  |

QUOTE(JLA @ Mar 17 2011, 08:28 PM) 45kBps @ 45KB/s or 45kbps ? Whats the different? I have try celcom prepaid daily and it slow like dial up. Yes i'm connected to 3G not GPRS. Speed a little better after midnight.  45kb/s and 45kbps is the same thing. Tried downloading from different host site, different file type and using FlashGet, all produce same result. Speedtest is ok, getting 0.38 mbps as it should have been. |

QUOTE(shyey @ Mar 18 2011, 12:46 PM) KBps & Kbps is two different units. Hmm looks like it I was wrong, 45KBps is the maximum file size i could juiced out from a 384kbps connection. KB = kilobytes Kb = kilobits for more info, i google one website showing an example for you. http://techallica.com/kilo-bytes-per-secon...d-kbps-vs-kbps/ I was wrong about the thing I've said earlier. Thanks for enlighten me!  Out of that, today is actually isn't any better, I keep on getting 'Service Not Avaiable...bla bla' and occasionally 'Balance echaust..bla bla' (I just subscribe around this morning mind you) error in my browser ever since around 12pm from time to time till now, browsing experience is a pain in the ass, even posting this took me over 30 minutes...  QUOTE i think celcom nvr throttle the speed even u exceed the stated volume. i am using celcom prepaid broadband weekly rm18, getting 5xxkbps of speed. I actually only get around 0.38mbps in speedtest. How did you get such speed?  SpeedTest -  |

QUOTE(kadajawi @ Mar 30 2011, 12:56 PM) Celcom has also been barely usable for me in the past few days. Have been very satisfied with the weekly plan (slow, but somewhat reliable and at least fast enough), but now I get constant timeouts, pages won't load, it takes minutes to hours to load a website. This could be of course because they limit the traffic (feels very much like GSM, though my phone says H for HSDPA or so... using it as modem). But sometimes the speed is completely fine, as if nothing happened. And then it is gone again. And this has nothing whatsoever to do with the billing period. Anyone got a clue what is happening and if there is a way to solve this? An Uncle also has Celcom (a faster monthly plan) and he doesn't have a problem, even at my place. Weekly prepaid user here like yours, same thing happen to me too, the only time when I got decent connection is when its early in the morning. During peak hour around 8 ~ 2am everything went down the slope. Will be saying goodbye to Celcom, switched to other isp already, much more expensive, but definitely worth it! |

QUOTE(WanR @ Apr 19 2011, 03:02 PM) alfred, check yoir IP, if you get 203.82.66.xxx you will be slow forever, try to test with other celcom user same place same time same modem.... Looks like all prepaid stuck on that ip...pfftt....and of course you the only one because only u stuck wit that IP... QUOTE(tai_digidestany @ Apr 27 2011, 08:06 AM) I'm using Celcom Broadband Weekly RM18/week and my speed right now is also nearly 1.5 Mbps = 184 KBps. Tried to resubscribe celcom weekly to see if your claim is real for me, sadly enough the service is the same as before I abandon them, and its even worst than a capped Maxis.And always, prepaid users who langgan for celcom and digi broadband tak da pun kena trottle. Unlike Maxis (Hotlink) and U-Mobile prepaid internet users. [attachmentid=2199511] Cannot complete http://www.speedtest.net/, but I manage to complete Celcom http://speedosh [attachmentid=2199567] This result is probably because of the congested line, but whats the point if I need stay up late or wake up early just to get a decent surfing experience? Will do the test again around tonight and early morning tomorrow just to see if its true about those 1.5mbps thing. |

Running another test around 3 am -
[attachmentid=2201087]   Not very pretty eh...looks like whoever stuck with 203.82.66.xx would think thrice before they even try using celcom broadband service. |

Getting another round of test, lets see if anybody woken up yet -
[attachmentid=2201170]  This is a really good result and proof that celcom has upgraded the connection speed, this I applaud. However, such speed can only be attained when there's practically nobody else on the line as the speed could easily plumbed down onto its knee.

QUOTE(WanR @ May 8 2011, 09:01 AM) if you test again in normal hour, i will be back to suck, believe me.. the good idea if you want to use daily or weekly bb from celcom, u need to buy their prepaid bb pack or subscribe using postpaid line. if you're in prepaid pack (xpax, blue, etc) will get .66 IP. Yeah, I think its because the majority used a prepaid pack and cause the line to easily congested.Merely testing things out after a few month of dropping celcom, looks like I won't be returning back to them for the time being. |

QUOTE(rhoyo @ Jun 14 2011, 03:53 PM) actually u can use the google dns trick . Changing to OpenDNS or GoogleDNs would cause a massive slowdown for me.This came up a moment ago - QUOTE Effective 27 June, the data usage limit for Broadband Daily is 500MB & Weekly is 1GB.

Haven't use celcom for a while, decided to whip out my celcom sim and try it again to see if the service got better.
  Using weekly prepaid, I was surprised with the improvement on the ping, but apparently download speed is limited to above speed. Not sure if there's any limited bandwidth, but I've downloaded over 20gb of file for the whole week of using and testing it. QUOTE even i have change my DNS, i cant access any blocked websites now, anyone facing same problem? Yes, try to find an alternative DNS, haven't tried yet since I'm using RP to download stuff. QUOTE Celcom. WTH with your service. After 7pm,speed is worse than turtle in USJ area Try to refresh your connection, it is probably congested. Much more better if you close your Broadband Manager throughoutly. QUOTE If change modem can make any different to the speed?any clue everyone. Depends, but better modem means much better reception and stability. |
