I just registered 150GB plan 2days ago. Speed is averaging around 40 to 50MB.

Can someone clarify the following -
1- Is the speed normal or should it better pending on location? Can Celcom check the region speedrate within the area?
2- If i use booster, can it help to increase the speed?
3- I am using media box (Android) and ipad to surf  Youtube (App). How do they or I know that it would deduct from Walla 1TB quota? Same with other apps as well.

Thank you.

1. speed is depend on your location n indoor coverage. is wireless ther eis no guarantee speed too and tower congestion condition. nope they cant just check like that from their system.
2. what kind of booster? vpn?
3. if using youtube apps should consider as walla. if using others apps our of walla streaming it will eat your main quota.

Using it for a about 1 week + now at 2 different location , using the RM100 package. My findings

1. speed varies (1 house in bangsar south is consistent at 20mbps++, 2nd house at jalan pudu consistent at 80bmps++ minimum)
2. easy to use except today, it had red light at the MODE section. I believe by changing the DNS at admin section fixed this ( some say this drops the speed as the dns im using is public google dns) . That may be true at before this at the pudu house its at 100 mbps but after dns change is bout 80-90++ mbps.  For me the speed is good enough.
3. Im using it to give internet to 2 laptops, 1 tv, 2 handphones. All no problems.
4. I checked the usage details thru celcom life app - tho the app seems buggy and I feel its not really updating the usage in real time.
5. about 2 hours of 4k youtube usage on my 55inch led tv, took out around 22GB from video walla.

current summary- its something i think ill keep since the portability is very useful when i travel as most times when im in hotel and in house internet sucks to even watch netflix. Im just evaluating now on should i upgrade to the rm150 with 1TB video walla. Needs to further abuse/stress test the service in the next 2 weeks to draw a conclusion

different location different tower.

1. if u are 4G+ location your modem connection might be 4G+ mode, even thought sometimes it also wont be 4G+ it's not priority as 4G+ as default
2. i dont think set DNS will improve much speed.
3. Is a wireless modem indoor coverage is more important in order to get good speed vs stable connection.

the modem also might run single band mode somtimes, either b3, or b7 connection so speed also will be differents.

Find a good spot indoor to locate the modem is reading ald good, speed is bad mean is congested.

RSRP <90dbm (lower is better) directly effect speed , SINR >5dbm or higher is better

hi, I will be moving to new house soon, since the new resident there do not meet the demand of placing phone line pole so no telephone, streamyx and unifi service. is celcom home wireless better that maxis?
is it RM150 with data quata 150gb+1000gb worth?
*
wise vesa leh... wireless, every location or area got each telco blind spot. to confirm better buy a prepaid sim to test it first before try.
For some user main quota 150GB enough,
For me kampung area no unifi, 150GB not enough. daily min 10GB quota, if celcom remove walla, and put it as main quota like digi 150i would be great. least or not also an altenative to compete haha.

1) Can someone confirm if I have used up my data plan, can I insert another celcom prepaid sim to purchase another data plan. Will it work?

The reason being I have just subscribed to the lowest data plan just to get the modem and there are only 2 persons using it at the moment but I am afraid once my kids are back for holidays the plan might not be sufficient.

2) I cannot check my usage thru OCR because no celcom line except the broadband line in my house. How do I go about this other than calling customer service.

3) Another thing Celcom start my billing on the 24th of April before my 30 days trial. ( I registered on April 4) Will I be billed?

Thanks for anyone who could enlighten me.

1. can put in others celcom sim as long as is celcom. tunetalk n etc also works.
2. modem can read stats, reset monthly. or set limit.

Mind to share which location in Ipoh?

During my trial period in March 2019, I hardly can get 4G+ connection.
Mostly was 4G connection.

When I am officially using it since last month, I manage to get 4G+ connection.
Download speed: 70-100 Mbps
Upload speed: 30-50 Mbps

Maybe you can call Celcom call centre, ask the agent to reset the network

My Area: Bercham, Ipoh

if using android phone install a huawei apps called hmanager look around. it's used to pair with b618, 22d ver modem when idle it wont connect as 4G+, or it wont run 4G+ as priority due to firmware issue. if using the apps u can force it to 4g+, when forcing call wont works. call only work when is in auto mode. meanwhile u also can monitor, see which band is good. b3, b7 or b3+b7. do a compare.

If we reset the modem, do we need to reconfigure the settings again or just bring back to Celcom to reset the modem.

I opened the complaint to them when my speed was running 4 to 8MB, as compared the 1st time usage/ 40 to 50MB. After the reboot their port, the speed is much better, averaging around 14 to 16MB.

Any advise?

reset no need reconfigure..only wifi pass, web ui pass. rest is auto.

hmanager apps
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

signal strength

to know u get a good spot in in door/good coverage or not.
RSRP <100dbm (lower better) , SINR >0dbm higher betteR)

both also will directly effect your speed if it's weak. seing 3, 4 or 5 bar signal u only know roughly signal strength.

My answers to your response =
< wifi pass on my devices or the HW modem? If it is HW modem, it is given when i purchase it and it is located underneath it. What is the web UI password?>
< Thanks for sharing >
< Thanks for sharing >
<The modem is showing full bar and blue dot at the bottom. This is indicating good coverage. What puzzles me is that, initial use was showing good speed but recently dropped down. Maybe the area is now congested. This is what the Celcom service group replied back>

web ui password, if default modem is username admin, pass is admin.

could be congested. hence is a try for congested area. lock band is just another method only u connect to the band which is not congested. example like b3, b7 or b3+b7. either one..using hmanager apps.

the modem indicate led light just for display. actual good signal or not good your modem spot in indoor refer reading of rsrp n sinr.

I asked my buddy to bring his router to my home for testing purpose and it work fine. So I guess you can bring the router everywhere, assuming it's the registered sim.

sim cant bring far from registered adress. modem can bring anyway...as from if it's not changed earlier tnc
