celcom 3g.

is it 3g celcom have to use a 3g phone as a modem?

I never see the celcom 3g but maxis did. Maxis is using 1 special 3g modem like our boardband modem partern and it have the hole to slot in ur maxis 3g sim card to make the connection.

I also want to know that is it we can use our 3g phone to act like a modem then we no need to pay the monthly modem rental fee (RM18). If it can use as modem, then is it the speed ll effect or normal?

your house is condo? if u stay high, u may not get a good connection.

the price is 68 a month not including itemice bill :S

thas is maxis 1 not celcom 1. if can try for streamyx 1 if not dont get maxis 3g. Dont really like it. It sucks.

I using Maxis 3G with my k800i (connect through USB).. Maxis 3G is so unstable & i got dc at times it irritates me alot as i have to restart my phone to get back the internet line!!

384kb/s is already the maximum

saw a Celcom advertisment at a local newspaper bout the new Celcom Broadband packages..it stated that 384kb/s 3G Unlimeted is RM68/month, and 3.8mb/s 3GX/HSDPA Unlimited is RM120/month..

will check with my local Celcom Service Centre and confirm these packages..

Which newspaper and page number, please?

And it's 3.6mbps for HSDPA. It goes in multiples of 1.8

sry, typo..

it's in Harian Metro Southern Edition, on the 3rd page if i'm not mistaken..

u sure or not??? celcom 3GX can do till 3MEGABIT????i tot HSDPA technology is capped at 768kbps????but then if download 3megabit also must see the upload.like maxis, the 768kbps download only has 64 kbps upload.no use also.u cant send ur request fast,overall u still need wait long for loading.

i'm not their sales rep, bro..i'm juz telling u what i read in the newspaper, and like i said i'll double-check with Celcom Service Centre regarding the packages..

Celcom has equipped some of their base stations with 3.6mbps capability. HSDPA speed, in terms of download bandwidth, maxes out at 7.2mbps currently; this is what is being tested in Singapore (or maybe even offered already). Of course, since it is assymetric, upload speed still suck. That's why we now have HSUPA, but upload speed will still be less than download.

@madhatter2k, thanks for the info. I wonder why the h3ll they advertised in Harian Metro and not in the other newspapers. They sure work in strange ways.

Finally, I can confirm that for the D50 packages which were offered for a very short time some time ago, the speed is now capped at 1mbps. D50 is supposed to be the same package as D120 when they offered it. So, even though they tell you that 3GX is 3.6mbps capable, they cap your speed at 1mbps even though your modem is well capable of supporting 3.6mbps. So, it sucks, big time...and is very misleading advertising.

heh, the world is all about false advertising, right?

anyway i'm currently using the Celcom D120 unlimited(the old plan), coz in a place dominated by TMnuts, 3G is the savior..

but ironically they're from the same company..

If you have the time to scan and upload the ad, it would most certainly be helpful!

the newspaper is at my sister's, will try to upload it tomorrow..

No need to scan and upload, I think the same ad appeared in the Star today, page N11

I'm using Celcom 3.5G HSDPA Area near Subang. 3G will have less freq interrupt noise compare to piggyback on copper link(Streamyx) So you might notice slight improvement in connections eventhough the speed is lesser.
