bakc to the 5GB/month cap issue, i think it is not appropriate for ISP to put it.... becoz the main objective people want to subscribe for broadband service is to get fast download speed so that they can download as many as they can...

the ISP offer 3.6Mbsp download speed... if this theoretical speed is consistent enough, people can download 5GB around 23 hours only... so what is the relevant of the 5GB cap ??

need we to upgrage the speed up to 7.2Mbps ?? so that we can download 5GB of content around 12 hours and than our speed been throttled back to dial up for the rest of the month ?? this is nonsense policy.... we want the ISP that set no limit to download content..thats only can call UNLIMITED....

truely unlimited broadband....thats what customer need.... why no isp can serve this kind of service ?? we're not in 3.5" floppy disk era anymore....we're in TeraByte world now.. that they study or do some survey what their customer really need ??

so in malaysia there's no ISP like that...that show our broadband technology is behind from computer storage technology.....its should be proportional & balance...

guys, news fr me

i last connected was abt 4.00pm wed.

juz now abt 4.30am i tried to connect by was not able to do so.
i called careline was told tat my area having upgrade and line wil be back to normal come 6.ooam.
not satisfy, i sms fruitie, which is abt 40km south fr my place and asked her abt her situation there
she told me tat her side was all okay juz tat the abnormal slow speed tat careline ppl said was due to upgrade
i then put my sim into my nokia 6120 and connect using GPRS, this time i managed to connect registering the speed below



so the reason i was not able to get connected during my initial try was tat i FORCE my ZTE to use only UMTS.
Before this so called upgrade, i was able to force UMTS to get connected even it was on GPRS

i now slot my USIM back into my ZTE and this time i choose GPRS instead........... since UMTS is not available in my area now
i started the dialer and it shows EGDE. does it mean tat now celcom hav included EDGE???



i also done a speedtest as below



take 2



i juz hope by 9/5 all will be okay
i felt so damn miserable and helpless when i was not able to get on9 and luckily fruitie told me tat the network was still okay and i tried other ways to get conected. THUMBS DOWN to CARELINE for telling me the wrong info

THANK YOU fruitie

Not a problem, bro digilife. Aargh. I did try my luck to switch between manual and automatic network selection but it is still so bad. Tried using GPRS speed, it had no difference compared with my current UMTS or HSDPA speed.

Life is totally miserable for me. Oh gosh, I wish May 9 comes faster.

Celcom is suck .....
Their customer service is brainless and follow the book, Care line quote " UPGRADING"

night 8pm til 4am i got poor speed and often dc .....
after 4am speed it seem like ok but only last til 9am ..... (since last two week)
so what type of upgrade they did ??


customer service ?
whatever u complaint, their reply is UPGRADING (even i don't pay my bill or my line bared)

my speed now :

morning session







Looks like there's really no such thing as upgrading problems. As someone here said before, it is the oversubcription of bandwidth seems to be the main problem.

its much beter now
i can connect using UMTS although not in a HSDPA area now
will try testing in a HSDPA area later

No changes with my connection, still GPRS...

Someone mentioned that those who been capped, especially rm98/m with 3.5mbps should be capped around 1mbps speed...but it seems capped to lower than GPRS speed ?

wth celcom

Like i said before, the bandwidth is oversubscribed.

just now i received a sms from celcom0049, "Attention, It is an offence under the law to make false/crank calls to 999 and celcom reserve the right to terminate your account without prior notice".. i call the careline to ask for explanation. and they admit it was a mistakes.. and they apologize for that.. phewwww.. i thought my account have been crack by someone else or something..

so all is ok now?
hopefully can get online tonite...

getting frustrated now

i am in a HSDPA area now and the speed still D68 although mine is suppose to be a D98 port

my current speed....surfing also quite ok....satisfy becoz my BT is on since midnite & consistently downloading around 45KBps till now...

u on d98 or d68?

No, I still getting speed lower than GPRS

that is D98 speed la

but next moment when i turn on my bt its like this



but bt quite consistent at 40~52 kBps ( 320~420 kbps ) on a single torrent file

He is on D68.

Speed is still slow but can feel there is improvement. However, can't test from speedtest.
