KK, Sabah is with HSDPA. My friend is studying in UMS and she gets HSDPA speed there.


I'll be bringing my Celcom broadband to my Borneo trip soon.
Now, where is my laptop?! Gonna get one soon.

Kuching speed sucks yesterday. My HSDPA signal drop to GPRS from time to time. Upload 5MB file takes half an hour!!!
Anyway, the speed in Kuching (at least mine) for this month is below average. Speedtest shows 700kbps to 1.2Mbps on a few best try. Yesterday shows 80kbps...

what i need to do to start the package??

i think want to take 1mbps or above package , any recommendation??
n i oso dun want modem..

because i dun want to involve in any contract, what is the modem price??

Hi xixo,
Before decide which package, you need to make sure your area is covered by HSDPA. Else, no difference between D68 and D98

I use D68 at Rubber Road area and there's no line dropping. I can get HSDPA signal and able to reach 67KBps download.

there is any method for me to check either it covered or not at my area??

Hi Xixo,
Try this link. http://202.190.116.141/CelcomCoverageIIPub...comCoverage.jsp
This is official Celcom coverage map. You may take it as a guide, but some forumers said it is not accurate...

What happen if i not fill 'celcom3g' APN in modem? Because i still can connect but only shown GPRS, not HSPDA neither UMT.

Taman Universiti, Skudai.. suppose already have 3G..

I just got my Celcom broadband yesterday but have problem. Hope Sifu here can help me.

Successfully installed the Mobile Connect Software with A1 Vodafone logo at the Mobile Connect software. My friend is HuaWei logo.

But each time i tried to connect, it will only pop up "Opening Port" and stuck at there. While my friends din't face such problem.

Then i tried their modem also the same result. So i went to my Device Manager and discover an unknown device named "Something Async Adapter". It only appear after i tried to connect to the broadband.

btw, Im using Acer Aspire 5550 series laptop with Window Xp Sp2 as my OS and im currently at UTM, Skudai, Johor.

Hope those Sifu out here can help me.

I'm not sifu, but I think it is related to firewall setting on your laptop.

Try go to Start => Control Panel => Phone & Modem Options => Modem => make sure there is Vodafone or Huawei usb modem or anything similar with that, click on that => Properties => Diagnostic => Query Modem

These step is to communicate your laptop with the modem. Make sure it shows success

After the 1st step done, open the Mobile Connect software => Setting => Network Connection Setting => Profile => New, insert as below :

Profile name : Celcom 3G
Authentication : *99#
On your right hand side should have APN, choose to static and insert "celcom3g"
Save the profile and select the profile

Try to connect. Hope it works.

EDIT IN BOLD

Hi Xixo,
Yup! The link is not working, but it used to work previously. Maybe too many people complaint not accurate...
Personally, I think streamyx should be better than Celcom BB. Anyway, we still share the same backbone with streamyx (TM=Celcom).
You're right, the only good thing about Celcom is travel factor (if you're comparing with streamyx). If you subscribe to D98 plan and in a location where you can get 3.6Mbps or more, than speed is another factor (but keep in mind of the 5GB policy).

5GB policy... any link can i read.. i dunno what keyword to hit to read about that...

now i'm focusing more into speed factor..

this what i get when try speedtest.net...

i think celcom got prob now in gombak area...

Hi, Is there anyone using the Celcom 3G D98 plan in Melaka area? What kind of speeds are you getting? I'm currently using the D68 plan mainly to surf but if i try to play an online game such as World of Warcraft, the latency is just horrible... Will switching to the D98 plan solve my troubles? Thanks.

My parent's house is at Taman Sri Pulai and I can get HSDPA there.

I'm at Bukit Katil rite now and I can get max speed around 80kBps when I'm downloading files via torrent (only happen when there's a lot of seeder). I do subscribe the D98 plan and I can get 3 bars HSDPA signal at my house.

How do you get that speed for torrent? What client you use?
Care to share.

Anyway, D68 user here. Location - UTM, Skudai
Connection speed is poor. Just call the careline. He told that, there is problem. Evertyhing will be fine tonight at 8.59pm.
Hope he's right.

although u switch to D98 the latency still horrible
keep in mind that 3G/HSDPA broadband is not mean for online gaming bcoz of high latency
