i just move to a new house, and i wan to have a broadband.
but my area dun have streamyx line, and i dunno 3g broadband got the speed same like streamyx or not?
can anybody help me?

Dun expect high speed with 3G. If you can get 384kbps is consider very good for 3G.

384kb/s is already the maximum?

Did anyone try to get a speedtest for 3g ?

yea i get maxis is around 60kb/s and upload is 12 kb/s

then how about the price?

Do you know that the 384Kbps using Celcom 3g feels a lot faster compared to Screamyx's 1.5Mbps line????

Wow,is that true?
How can you prove it?
Really looking forward for other broadband which can beat the Streamyx out!

yaya show some information pls

if i'm not mistaken, celcom doesn't have 3.5g for consumers
3.5g is only for corporate users, i guess
anyway, it all depends on your signal strength

Easiest is by doing a speed test with server outside Malaysia .. I've always getting around 1.5Mbps when testing with Jaring or TMNet speedtest servers. But connecting to my office VPN (UK), it feels like I'm connected at dial-up speed. Switching to Celcom 3g which eventhough gives only 384kbps.. I feel my VPN connection is much more responsive. Did a speedtest with zdnet.UK .. and guess what .. my download speed is only at 115kbps (on streamyx).. No time to test on Celcom 3G tho at the moment.

haiz.......really confusing

Got a chance to test out zdnet UK speed test on Celcom 3g. I'm getting 244kbps .. double the speed that I'm getting from streamyx. It seems that Streamyx international link is really .. really .. really .. S L O W ! ! ! .. especially on traffics to/from Europe.

so, do u meant that streamyx only fast in local but slow to far place?
then celcom have better speed than streamyx, then slower speed than streamyx on local?

how about torrent? any restriction/?

u meant it on 3g celcom or streamyx?

yes, playing wolfenstein ET, i'll get ping up to 500-999, thats 0.5seconds delay . US and UK. HK, i'll get ~100+

yo, check if theres any bandwidth limit. pointless if you only get 3GB a month, like maxis

i use like 50GB/month

streamyx is now throttling torrent. but depend on location, you may get good speeds. i get good speeds at night

Price as below.

ur this price is celcom 3g one?

I'm using Celcom 3G with a Nokia 6280. Speeds are quite okay and most of the time I get close to about 80% of the 384Kbs speed. However, ping times are usually quite high even to local website usually around 300-400ms.

The IP I get is usually 219 range.

The package does not have a limit and BT is possibly throttled.
