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.

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.

I'm using Celcom 3G unlimited. How to know my bandwidth usage?

mine is better

area kajang can get around 400kbps, BT around 30-40KBps
PJ area around 2Mbps, BT around 80KBps.
using Maxis Unlimited Package.

PJ area


Kajang

3g speed can reach up to 2mb? whoa ..

yep.

view this screen capture for BT. using Maxis Unlimited

area PJ Sect 14



and

wah???? so good maxis ?izzit reliable?summore u can p2p at 10am?? i thought 12am to 6am only?...i hav n95 too...izzit the connection stable??if stable..i want to subscribe maxis unlimited too

stable, I connect it since morning until now no disconnection.
stil downloading the torrent.

p2p can use for unlimited time. no duration and limit. (so far la). no capping at 3GB for this package (already 10GB for this month). but mahal lo.. RM120 per month. (but this month RM99)

yup..a bit pricey...actually im used to subscribe streamyx 1mb package rm88 + fix line rm 27.3 ....around that figure also rite? ..but p2p with streamyx is suck..

just now, searching for review maxis HSDPA + with n95, luckily i found u..

how about surfing? izzit fast too?

this month rm99 lor..next month start rm120 back...

oh ya..i just terminated my streamyx and fixline today after 1.5 years using.

so far, since bt is ok. so surfing should be better.

Just go register and have a try for one month, and you decide by urself, no contract with maxis. so just go and register with maxis.

i have 3 friends moved from celcom 3g to maxis 3g, they found maxis is better than celcom.

I think in term of the coverage, celcom is better. but in term of stability maxis is the one. My friends told me. Celcom always changes from HSDPA to UMTS and sometime drop to GPRS.

Normally my connection is fine more than 10 hours. for me if 3g network can sustains for more than that without disconnect, that should be fine.

just very confues with Maxis Internet2Go and Maxis 3G HSDPA is different things? i need to apply but dont know which one is better and the costs is how much !!!!! any suggestio from yours ???
thanks

guys, m in sibu, sarawak, was wondering if there is this 3G broadband here. hmm. so in conclusion, will 3g be faster than streamyx?

Celcom 3G Broadband has a 5GB cap. Dunno whether it is strictly enforced. But it's in the T&C so you can't really complain.

The T&C btw, is laid out over 10 pages using Flash. You cannot copy the text or resize it.

Check it out yourself at:

http://www.celcom.com.my/cep/xresources/ce...band/index.html

I find it amusing that they regard 5GB / month as "extremely high usage". In that case, they should not be advertising it as "unlimited".

Screencapt attached.

Biasalah Siowcom. "Terpantas", "Terluas", "Tiada Tandingan" but no 3.5G coverage in a significant part of KL, and whewre there is, slow! The only place which has guaranteed good speed is Celcom tower at Jalan Tun Razak (A Celcom staff wanted to show how his company was soooo much better than U Mobile but only dare benchmark there ). All crappy marketing lines only...

haiyo, sad with this celcom broadband now..
how can they cap bandwidth at such a low cap.. 5gb for 1 whole month is very little imho ><

tested at jalan yap kwan seng on 21st floor...

See the problems with 3G broadbands?

Look below those tempting digits and you'll find extremely high pings.

This is why streamyx is still preferred by so many Malaysians.

can u explain more about the 'extremely high pings'??..
dun understand la..hmmm..

Prefer streamyx due to everyone can use.
Got 3 laptop.
3g = 1 pc only

maxis 3G user here, sum phone not that stable n gets DC all the time, unlike me using LG viewty can stay connected straight for a day without DC, n just bought this vodafon e272 modem n it gets even better, boost up the speed too..

play online game using PS3, works like a charm..http donlod 280-340kb/sec..check out my uploaded pics for proof

owhh..n no capping too

Now no more getting 3.5G signal oledi...bloody maxis technician haven't turn the direction of 3.5G to my area although complaining for >1mth oledi!

Currently only enjoying normal UMTS speed of 380-450kbps ...My siggy max speed of 17,000kbps became history oledi...

Oppsss..b4 I forget I'm on Maxis 3G RM99 unlimited plan...which is diff from Maxis broadband....

bro... i already exceed 5gb after 3 days usage..i so surprised that is not fully UNLIMITED?? i terminate before 7 days..


can we take legal action ...

legal action? it was clearly stated in da TnC lor... btw there is no way 4 3G wireless bb 2 step over streamyx unless da telco use a combination of HSDPA+HSUPA....
