Cannot lor. Longest is 3 days because I bring my lappy to my workplace. So have to disconnect.

last nite around 1 smth i cannot connect to celcom. was the line down yesterday in penang?

Usually how long it takes to activate? And how you know whether you unlimited package already activated or not?

great speed today whoa!!! 50kbps with limewire.

i have not been caped yet coz for this month most of the time i were using my UNITEN's apartment internet connection.

wana ask, my D68 package without caped thing i can get 50kbps. isit possible to get that speed when i being caped next time?

If server is fine, within 24hours your broadband account should be activated and ready to use. Feel free to call careline 1111 from your Celcom mobile number; 03-36308888 from other mobile operator (charges apply) or 100 from your fix line number to check your broadband status. You just need to provide them your 19digits number behind your broadband sim card which is started with 89601.. (example).

Once you register, you can start using it within 2 to 4 hours. That's what I've done before.

nope. Once you get capped, you can't get that speed. The speed will reduced till the system automatically uncapped you at the end of each month. But it based on luck. Some people not getting cap even though using already 100GB for past months of usage, and some people even not yet reach 10 GB already being capped.

Correction on 5GB usage capping. If i am not mistaken, the unlock for capping is depend on billing cycle. After your broadband number billing cycle passed, the capping auto released. Each broadband number might have different billing cycle.

care to explain more about billing cycle? i dun get it

There is few date in billing cycle. I have to double check in office tomorrow.

Anyways, billing cycle is a date where your number is set as "cut off" date. Let me make an example.

I went to Celcom to register a broadband service on 1st of August, the system will set my billing cycle to 2nd of August, so my bill will count from 2nd August to 1st September, every month 2nd of the month till 1st of another month. There is few different date, so for broadband, it depends on the billing cycle. After your billing cycle, system will reset your lock.

Sorry for my poor english, hope you understand what i'm trying to say.

ic. i get it. thanx bro.

No prob. Will check out the few billing cycle dates and post it ASAP.

Oh yeah, will copy & paste full 5GB fair usage term & conditions here too. Stay tune!

please dont double post ya...if u forget sumthing to say theres a edit button for ya...

that 5G fair policy has been posted before. iirc, in previous V2 thread. search for it

anybody from celcom can explain why some get cap some not ?

If a lot of users from your area using the same tower, most likely you will be capped. If less people, chances of getting capped are lesser.

In our official website, (not celcom.com.my) stated system will cap it, so if system didn't cap some of the custs, then should be thankful.

When the 5GB usage started, quite alot of customers complaint about it, quite a huge amount disconnected the service because they didn't notice that actually Maxis and U-Mobile having the capping policy too. Celcom did the capping policy after few months, but Maxis and U-Mobile started it sooner than Celcom.
