Well, each to their own. Some do love Celcom's better coverage, especially its wide DC-HSDPA.

For plans pricing, of course Digi wins hands down. But contract tenure on the other hand is a bit

Nope. Last time I'm subscribing to Celcom Biz, I've called their rep to ask the same question. They said that their new policy since Oct is they'll block the internet altogether when reach quota for most plans.

And that gets pretty ironic since the new Maxis policy since Dec is that they'll no longer bill-shock™ for plans above 1 GB. They'll throttle down the connection speed 3 times.

Divide those to 1 year, the 2-yr contract doesn't provide better value compared to 1-yr. You better off buying a newer iPhone next year and renew your contract then, that'll give you more saving. Plus, in case you're thinking of buying the next iPhone, you need to terminate the contract and pay for steep ETF. For Maxis that can be a bit different, since you can just apply for contract extension.

Personally, I'm thinking of 2-yr contracts as way to save for working people who got its bill paid by their company. Since you're a student, that should be totally out of picture.

Well, don't get jumpy2 yet. You still need to pay the bolded price on the top part of that chart. The advance payment will be used to deduct your monthly bill.

Remembered last time some company here are handing out iPods to their workers (iPods are the 'in' thing that time), and those iPods made their way to internet haha.

btw gonna ask for existing Celcom subbers, are your internet being cut or only throttled once quota is reached? Got a bit confused lately.

I was told the same thing by Celcom CS last time albeit that's when I'm going to subscribe Celcom Biz, but haven't experienced any cut off yet. Looks like they're a bit forgiving.
