Hi, anybody have been using the new celcom broadband ? i need feedback.. because unifi they ddnt have any port left at my house area.. so i need to terminate it.

now looking for celcom home wifi broadband.

Dun understand ur statement there.
Didnt hv any port left but u need to terminate?
Means u already hv unifi acc n u want to add one more unifi acc but no more port rite?
Then u want to terminate the existing unifi acc rite?

i move to a new house.. before this i do have unifi at my old house.. but at my new house.. they said the port is full.. so i need to terminate it

The new Celcom WiFi a bit weird...
U needed to check coverage...
Not the normal phone coverage but the wireless broadband coverage..

Seems like they uses different tower / network for wireless broadband...

And they "locked" location.... Needed to see your home address... No coverage mean Big No....

got mine.. works just fine..

free huawei b618?

yes.

So they didn't "locked" location??

can share the speedtest? interested also

will share the speedtest later. currently im not in my house. but it can reach 50-60mbps.

Few users including me observed that Video Walla speed (Youtube, Netflix, etc) is limited to 2.5Mbps only.

Did you get the same?

Not at the register location also can use???

last night i watched altered carbon, it takes about 2 minutes loading, play the series, and then another 2 - 3 minites for HD. my plan is the 158 monthly.

im planning to buy 4k smart tv, bcoz i wanna know weither it works on 4k reso or not.

at first i was confuse, bcoz i thought it just going to use celcom 4g connection anyway, but then celcom center said they use different port.

and then i called celcom service center, the person on the phone said to me there are no any different ports. as long as there are celcom 4g on ur area, it should works.

but thing this is 30 days moneyback guarantee. ive told them as long it fast and stable, i dont have any intention to return it. bcoz i ddnt see any other option that i have to use internet in my area since unifi ports full.

my speedtest on celcom telco is 70-80mbps.

and celcom wifi broadband speedtest is between 50-60 mbps.

yesterday speedtest.

You should monitor the network usage via PC to see how much speed it can supply for Youtube/Netflix.

For Netflix, just play any video and monitor.
For Youtube, try to switch to 1080p and see your speed. Probably it is stuck at 2Mbps-3Mbps

like this ?

Looks like 2.5Mbps ish

after i adjust my netflix settings.. thank to @ocgassa this is the speed now..

plus the picture is way too good now.. aha..

Ouh so it is not location lock? Im planning to take this celcom wireless package but check the website,it didnt cover my place. But been using celcom telco for years now,at home always full bar 4G. What did u say to them when signup ?

that website address check thingy.. have u ever tried to put any address ?

i did.. it comes out.. "uh-oh.. sorry your area is not covered"

you can try.

what u need to do is go to CELCOM TTDI. why? Because that is the only place that can registered for you.

I tried Celcom Prima Gombak before. A week after that, they said they cant register the modem under my name becoz of the system error.

So i got a called from celcom, Rianna, she said the only celcom that can register is Celcom TTDI. When i got there i ask them how many people

have registerd for this celcom wifi broadband ? they said.. im the first one.. =.="

but before you go, make sure you do the speedtest on your phone first.. then you show it to them..

thats all.

plus it have 30 days trial. so just give it a try..

good luck.

Yeah i did check on the website. Got the same thing as yours. "Area not covered"


Oh ok will try and gl TTDI celcom and sign up tomorrow. Haha not many people sign up yet the wireless, hope the speed can maintain for a long time.

Thank you boss for the reply.

do you want some tips to maintain the speed ? stop spreading the good news. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA..

the lesser the better.

i think you are right. i cant play 4k video on youtube. its stuck.. lag.

but i can play 4k video on vimeo without lagging at all.

HAHAHAHAHA INDEED. Or else it will be like Unifi or other broadband because of congestion. Hahaha

was looking into this as well since the modem is quite attractive. but if the speed for Video Walla is capped then there is no point for them to offer the 1TB quota.

yup.. agreed. but at my house area i dont have any option other than this. since unifi ports full, there are nothing they can do. they just ask me to wait until someone move out from my house
area and they going to replace that port for me.

most user sign up this just wanted the modem huawei B618, as far as the plan concern, they cancel it within 1st or 2nd week after they sign up and pay penalty rm499 to get the modem with 2 years warranty from huawei

i ddnt know anything bout this modem until u mention about it.. it cost about rm1500 at lazada.. plus i can install Panorama DMM Portable MiMo Ultra Wideband Antenna for better coverage.

aha thanks man. but i dont have any intention to cancel my plan.

This is proper broadband plan, your digi 150 in fact is mobile phone plan, total different product, if use for broadband just subscribe to celcom, ignore digi 150

How is the performance of Panorama DMM Portable MiMo Ultra Wideband Antenna vs the MIMO LTE antenna?

Haha got mineee. Thank bro for the tips. Haha. Save rm1500


Attached thumbnail(s)

WHATT.. THAT FAST ? when i registered at Celcom Prima Gombak, i need to wait almost a week to get that modem.. lucky you..

hahahaha.. now im looking for antenna.. btw.. hows the speedtest ?

im going to try this one.. https://andrewsestore.com/store/49dbi-omni-...le-antenna.html

ordered one from him. but fyi, at the moment ive got full coverage. just bought the antenna for fun. =.="

i thought i want to try digi, but then when i googled the review.. its kinda suck thou.. aha

This unit just Rm50 at lazada bro.
If you got full coverage, adding antenna is not useful.

Plus B618 is using TS-9, not SMA. I got SMA-TS9 adapter from Taobao. RM10 for both I think.
This andrew store sucks blood.

just checked at lazada rm90. not order from him yet. so u mean if i got full coverage i dont need the antenna then ? alright. thanks man

Haha yeahh, i go directly to TTDI since u told me that the only place that can sign up.

The speed not bad. Averaging at 50-60mbps. Want to try with prepaid digi later on if the speed same or better. Do antenna increase the coverage ? I ask Lazada Seller Sing4G. He said that antenna doesnt increase at all for B618 because internal antenna already better. But if u buy antenna. Do let me know the result. If it increase much, i also want to buy. Haha

i ddnt purchase the antenna, btw, do update me about digi.. thanks man

When I put the SIM into a different router, no Internet. When the SIM is inserted to Celcom B618, Internet is available. Location is not the register address.
I think the SIM is lock to the B618.

what i've tested so far was , download can full throttle, but video walla / download using youtube capped at 3mbps<.

the modem also not geo locked as they didnt request for exact location to be registered or no coordinate features in modem it self. (as vsat modem they had coordinate locked function).

sim also can be use in other modem as i used in my e5377s mifi, however i think the simcard is using other infrastructure, as they cant move around, if static okay, but if i bring the mifi around. it will become no sevice and take time to locked to the internet.

So it that modem locked to celcom sim only? if locked, then ppl who want to pay the panalty RM499 to get that modem is useless...

No coverage at my area. I am using Maxis 4G. So far OK but highest package only 65GB.

sim unlocked. can use other telco

Modem is unlocked. Checked with multiple sim cards already (Unifi & UMobile). Also checked through Huawei HiLink app where it states the device is unlocked even when other sim cards are in it. Currently, I'm using the free Unifi sim card inside the modem.

OMG...thats awesome. RM499 for the modem is damn bargain. cancel within 30days pay the RM499 get the modem.

is there any other way we can do it ? like.. crack.. patch.. hack.. ahahahaha

well i think.. i think.. u need to pay rm499.. AND return the modem as well.. i think..

Unifi got simcard ???? how ? i ddnt know that.

https://unifi.com.my/mobile/index.html

Previously 20GB. My whole family take each member 5 sim cards. Totalling 20 sim cards.

20GB * 20 sim cards = 400GB FREE

Just take, use and once finish, throw.

Just told them kids throw away the modem and pay the penalty ...

so far so good. around 70mbps better than celcom. but it depends on your area. if too much people use digi, they'll be congestion. but for me so far so good. if maintain til friday, i'll subscribe to Digi Unlimited. try search here, someone get til 140mbps.

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4356908/+7420

OMG.. that is so fast.. i need to find my friend who use digi, ask them to come to my house to do the speedtest.. aha

btw bro.. do digi infinite 150 plan have caps for youtube and netflix like celcom?

Hi all, may I check after signed up the package, will the wireless broadband kit available on the spot or still need to wait them give us a call before able to collect it? All the Celcom Blue Cube Outlet got stockpile this router? I don't want to move here and there just to done the entire process. Thank you.

you can do the speedtest on your celcom network, and then if the speed is above 10mbps, you can go to CELCOM TTDI only to pick up the modem and sim card. thats all.

Digi 150 dont have cap bro for youtube and netflix. Its unlimited Data for all.

I am using Celcom Home Wireless Broadband. One thing that I found quite unusual is, somehow the service is locked to just one place. I am sure that I didn't supply my home address to Celcom. But the modem only works at my home. I've run some test, it works in around 2-3km radius.

Now, I know that the FAQ states that the customer will not be able to bring this modem around as it’s locked to the registered address. What I don't understand is how the do that. As for now, I think the service is locked to a specific number of cells on a specific communication tower.

Anyone else try to move the modem around?

So the SIM card could be used in other modem, at another location, but it must be static at one place?

yes, i had tried in my other mifi, working.. but if always moving around it need certain amount of time to lock the signal. maybe the sim architecture doesnt suit with mifi.

yes.. that is what they said when i am at celcom center that day to get this modem.

that person in charge said that to make sure i turn on this thing once i reach home. bcoz it can lock your location.

i thought he was bluffing thou.. haha

Is B618 is location locked ?

No, it's not locked.

after almost a week using it.. now the speed drop to 30mbps.. will see what happen after a month

Damn, the Youtube loading speed is capped at 480p and sometimes it will stopped for a while before reload it again. While others websites not under VideoWalla link is working smoothly. Why they do that? It supposed to be smooth video buffering since it is under 4G LTE with full reception bar. Those who subscribed to Wireless Platinum package, did you guys encounter this issue as well? I do the speedtest, can easily reached 60mbps ++ in my residence area.

I concur this. I test the modem with other sim. I test the sim with other phone. I put an inverter in my car and drive around with the modem.

The modem is not locked to any sim.
The modem is not locked to any location.
The sim is locked to a particular location.

yes.. i have the same issue with you.. now my speed is still at 30mbps.. before this it was 50 - 60 mbps

I managed to get 80mbps in my residential area today. But the Youtube streaming really disappointed as the resolution can dropped to 240p despite having great speed for other websites. Anyone knows how to bypass this Video Walla as Celcom is not sincere enough to provide normal fibre speed to their end users when it comes to watching movies using the apps categories under Video Walla. On top of that, is there anyone know how to check the usage for Video Walla as Celcom Online Service only shown the normal usage for Internet but not for Video Walla? No point to upgrade to 1TB platinum package if this issue not able to resolve it to the satisfactory level.

Thanks for the input.
Great to know that it’s not locked.

Great idea to do those tests !

Fantastic news indeed!

anybody facing difficulties to connect to the internet at the moment ?

Yes. Especially to those websites such as Facebook, Youtube and those which are not created locally. Had been monitor the situation become worst.

For usage under video Walla, celcom capped the speed to only 2.5mpbs. They didnt mention it in faq. But if u called celcom hq. They'll explain it. But not sure about the platinum package.

yess.. correct. i called celcom, they said they are having network issues.. but then i ask until when.. they dont know about.. it happen since yesterday.. sigh

it was kinda frustrating when facebook its very slow loading. then I switch to edge.. =.=" well much more faster now.. so my chrome was the problem.

This morning I had reported the issue to Celcom Customer Care Service and they assist me to reset the network slowness issue from their end and now everything including the Youtube rendering speed back to normal (able to play 720p and 1080p videos without any lagged).

may I know which number did u called ? the 019- 60111111 did not have option for wifi broadband

Just call the number you mention earlier and give them your registered Celcom sim card number (broadband) and ask them to do the reset for you.

alright. thanks man..

actually can pm them on fb ...so fast reset and speed 100mbps heheheh

so...anyone using this in Ipoh? if yes..how is the experience?

thank you.. at the moment my speed is now back to normal.. can get 50 - 60mbps. anything ill pm them on facebook to do the reset. btw do i need to give them my sim number as well ?

just give them phone number ...i got fast respond in 5 minute conection become stable n smooth ...

By the way guys, we need to destroy this evidence (topic) to prevent too many ppl subscribe to this plan..

source

Anyone can explain it more about the ....with reducing balance.

it means the longer you stay with the plan, the lower penalty you need to pay when terminating within contract period.

for example this is a two years contract. If you terminate at the one year mark, you only need to pay half of RM499. That is how it is normally counted.

Hi guys. May I know if this is the Celcom Broadband plan on this website here?

https://www.celcom.com.my/personal/broadban...lcom-home-fibre

And they have different plans, 120 150 180? Said the speed is capped at 10,20,and 40Mbps respectively but you guys managed to get more? How’s the coverage?Thinking of porting out from my Digi Infinite if it’s as good or better...

so now there is no capped on walla sites anymore? damn, i just terminate the plan just becoz of this walla issue. seriously? if you give quota, it is up to user to use it accordingly..if it is unlimited, then it is quite acceptable to cap streaming site.

we are using this one.. https://www.celcom.com.my/personal/broadban...m-home-wireless

where did you read this ?

Read what? i read your comment bout youtube can play 1080p after chatting with CS? during my time with this home wireless plan, my youtube speed never exceed 2Mbps, so it is default to 480p only, forcing 720p will have to pause for video to buffer. ermm
Emailing the CS last two weeks as i can't find any clause that walla capped to atmost2Mbps, but just receive reply today. i guess so many complain huh?
Went to blue cube to terminate, even bluie cube in-charge didn't know about this walla capped. Well played.

oh yes.. correct.. my youtube can play 1080p.. but sometimes u can get 720p.

when I text them on facebook.. this is what they replied...

Kami mohon maaf. Untuk Celcom Home Wireless, kami tak boleh nak reset network. Encik kena hubungi 1-300-11-3282 jika encik mengalami gangguan. Akan ada perunding teknikal yang akan bantu encik.

i dont want sometimes, i want everytime looor..Celcom does not sincere enough..assume; speed capped to 2Mbps (in my case) for walla, so it is 250kbps transfer rate, 15mb data used per minute, 900mb per hour. 21.6GB per day, time 30days=648GB...
this if and only if 24/7 stream walla, who can do that?
oh did i mention for 159 plan, celcom give 850GB walla, How to utilised all walla data?

still not competitive as maxis 4G broadband

maxis one can have more than 1 sim sharing same pool(i subscribe 3 sims, one my hometown, one hostel, one give to my sister, save quite a lot)
add on data 10GB juz rm10< damn cheap
1 year contract

celcom slightly cheaper
can watch free video
add on data 10GB rm50
2 years contract

will stick on maxis
