what phone are you using btw? i'm on oneplus one, b4 this i was using moto X 2013 seems slightly better

I'm using a Nexus 5.

Yet they have the brass to post Usain Bolt with 'This is Celcom coverage' at major locations.

I'm hoping this is a temp setback, as I was very much looking forward to port over this coming weekend..now, hmmmmm

i having the same issue as well ..
regret change to celcom .. and port back to maxis ..

using for a month now. its fine i would say

Hopefully they will resolve this as soon as possible, more customers coming in due to this good deal is a good thing and that should mean more revenue for them, so they got to act fast and ensure their network does not degrade due to this or people will just port out again with MNP being such an easy process.

Mine is like that also.

All those speed test done is when it is already in H+. that's why it looks really good. But getting there from 3G is the bottle neck.

Ever wonder if it's just the cheap hardware causing it?

No because it was ok on another network

agreed on this...new update from Kedah..but only 3 telco la


you know what all the same one la..when using celcom curse celcom but when switch to others also curse..never ending stories one..
so telco are stronger at certain places and some rural area don't have coverage..

yup still remember my friend said during CNY..1 week no line with DG..go to their CS ..they said upgrading..seriously during CNY

as i said all telco the same one la..i tried all 4 before still have problems till now...
if you are rich then can consider to use all 4 telco..sure reachable one

using iphone 6 and note 4..so far ok..almost all location also got LTE signal

which plan you taking?

don't you start with me on maxis
another long stories to tell...
keep it short there is no perfect telco..each of them have their own weakness..so depending on your usage and your patient to see if you can tahan when no signal

i not to say maxis is perfect tho ..
so far maxis serve me good ..
even digi is better than celcom ..
cannot believe celcom signal weak in city area ..
example ara damasara (where i live now) .. sometime even no signal ..

During CNY or Raya time people go back hometown. There are not many cell stations but the population density increases. Thus this causes no line. The transmitter towers transmit into 3 sectors, Alpha, Beta and Gamma as some called it. In each sector, they transmits 2 or 3 channel. Each channel can handle 8 simultaneous calls (this is what I knew previously long time ago. So, things might change now, but basically this is how calls are multiplexed). So, limited number of people can talk at any given time. CS excuses damn stupid probably because they were told not to give bad image by saying their line congested

I guess mobile users expand fast and telco barely can cope or probably they are just trying to maximize usage while minimizing cost. So, this is why you can say any telco also same. When many migrate to Maxis because so much bad news on Celcom, Maxis network get congested. Then Maxis starts getting bad name. People then migrate to DiGi, then Celcom. All these just like lalat

Well this is what actually happen. I used to sell microwave radio for both Maxis and Celcom for tower connectivity. I was using Celcom and Maxis ask why use Celcom. I told them that the rural area where my kampung located has poor Maxis coverage. So, they just keep quiet .

For indoor reception i think digi has improved a lot in recent years. I can get almost full bar with digi. Their line is quite stable and i can get h+ constantly at klang valley area. I have tried hotlink and xpax and surprisingly a lot of indoor area dont have good reception.

Celcom 38 is attractive due to high data only. For those who need more minutes better get digi 50.

Was at Paradigm mall car park. Celcom has no signal at all whereas Digi has H+

Actually you can have 2 lines since Celcom offer is quite cheap. Personally I think Celcom vs Digi so far for me has been in favor of Celcom. Both has its downside definitely. Celcom has poor data coverage on NSE. Digi was unstable in some area in Kepong. In term of 4g coverage, seem like Celcom has better coverage.

thanks for the heads-up, it is quite shocking to hear your bad experience indeed. lucky haven't made the jump yet.

So many user jump to celcom

I have the same issue with Celcom as well - will give them maybe another month then if still no progress I'm switching back to Maxis or perhaps go with DIGI

First Basic 38, just signed up over the weekend. Waiting for port-over which may take up to 3 work days
