I want to share my experience being a Celcom user over the year.. At first it was Ok - Where I work in KL (Along Jalan Raja Laut, around Chow Kit area) at first was getting stable 4G reception with decent speed (I realize that I don't get full 4G speed, but ok la, no need so fast pun)
Then over the months, I realize the network was getting crappier, yes I still have 4G network connectivity (according to my phone and wifi dongle connectivity-icon), but there's no data movement at all and I have consistently more than 3GB of data quota every month (inb4 data sudah habis la mang).
Then I decided I should just switched to the lower preferred network settings, 3G and it's still the same. The connection + speed (the speed deteriorates badly too) is so lousy. I would port out to other telco, if there were any cheaper with better benefits.
Btw I do have umobile, and it fairs better Celcom in terms of coverage in the city (KL/PJ) but kinda sucks in the new mall where there's no telco network booster/repeater or strong tower coverage..

QUOTE(chichibaibai @ Sep 28 2016, 10:22 AM) Recent 3 months, Celcom has been upgrading their tower for faster 4G speed mainly at KL area. This upgrade can affect user connectivity and internet speed. You should check out Celcom official site, you can find out more details there as they are showing you the schedule for tower upgrade... USJ which session? Based on the schedule shown, USJ is still ongoing for the tower upgrade. Speed will drop during the upgrade. Don't you receive the sms from Celcom? They will msg u and inform regarding this issue. Subang Jaya, Ss 14/15/17/18/19, Usj 1/3/4/5, Subang Light Industrial Park In Progress well i sure hope it'll be better after september, that's why i haven't quit on celcom just yet  |

QUOTE(cahayamalamku @ Sep 28 2016, 04:22 PM) i hope that too. most of incoming and outgoing calls will be failed. got full bar H+ but the data is not stable, sometimes no data at all doing online banking which requires TAC no. need to attempt few times only can receive the SMS  I know what that feels like.. thankfully i have a secondary mobile number to rely on.. i got d celcom 38 for its data perks, but it's not been serving me well.. so am hoping badly that it gets better after this.. |

QUOTE(nexona88 @ Sep 29 2016, 08:28 AM) Nowadays hard to depend on 1 telco only.. We needed backup line or secondary one if there any problem.. Lucky I got.. So not so serious effects.. Yes, i realized i needed a back up (using U28) which is inexpensive.. best decision ever! hahaha QUOTE(chichibaibai @ Sep 29 2016, 11:19 AM) Me too, last time I patient to wait for the upgrade and didn't quit. Few of my frens they quit during the modernization, thank god after that it didn't faile me and does improved in our area. Then two of them port back to Celcom. Hahaha crossing my fingers and toes too!! |
