Wow, nice deal!

I lent my modem+Celcom broadband D98 to my best friend, since she has problem with Streamyx at her house. She just tested in her room, her house is located in 4th Mile of Port Dickson and she got full 5 bars of HSDPA! Even my house is only with 1 bar of UMTS, forcefully. She was talking on phone while monitoring the speed and the received rate shown on the modem dialer was around 5Mbps.

I could not connect to celcom BB since yesterday nite 11pm till now, could someone confirm is there a network problem in Cheras?

I can't connect at that time as well using standalone modem and also on my phone, but able to connect during daytime.

Hi richard, I having the same problem since last nite 11.30pm till this morning 9.30am
I'm in cheras, taman len sen

Ah.. me also Cheras. No wonder speed so slow.

BTW, does APN play a role in connection? Coz I was using umobile and celcom. I forgot to switch the profile to celcom but I managed to connect to celcom using umobile APN. Speed also quite stable during midnight, dlding at 50kbps (UMTS only).

okay... where can i get the modem only without subscribing maxis BB?

Damn celcom ! Call their Hotline, they deny got network problem in cheras !

I'm at my best friend's house now, 2 bars of HSDPA:

Just got my Celcom broadband activated today.....



I took the 364kbps package.... So far so good in KL but how are the connection speeds like in Cyberjaya ? Anyone got any idea ?

Early morning speed

any forumer here from sri gombak/gombak/batu caves? how the performance ur signal (package D68 and D98)? can get HSDPA without headache or UMTS all-the-time? im using broadband daily with E220 USB modem, seems i just can get UMTS signal, and always drop to GPRS signal. HSDPA? not even once i get when at here...

do u guys have any disconnecting issues? i approached the celcom booth at PC Fair and they said that the package with modem was unavailable. they offered me to spend RM799 on a modem instead. that kinda offer made me subscribe to maxis which is just beside celcom's booth

The package with modem is still available, maybe they don't want to offer at pc fair. You can go straight away to any Celcom branch. RM 799 for modem, that's quite expensive. You can get RM 359 for Huawei e220 at garage sales.

yeah, its like getting ripped off or something. anyway, im stuck with maxis now.
well back to the question, do u guys always get dc?

maxis is kinda insane, cant p2p, fine, slow mo, fine, always dc, fine....
.. but cant msn?? pleaseeee lah...

For me, staying near-rural area (near University), I unable to connect especially during night time, but able to connect around 3AM.

Hi Soundsyst64,
You still faced connection problem at night (since 24th July)? As for me, last Friday and Saturday, not problem. I didn't surf on Sunday and Monday night. So, don't know any problem or not.

I'm not so sure about that. But surely once I got the modem during PC fair, I can't connect around 4PM till next early morning. Similar problem appear till yesterday.

No problem on my side, connection is good!
No certain down time or whatsoever, currently at my hometown Port Dickson and most of the time using it in MMU Malacca.

latest update from one of the user for STUPID SLOW f***ING CELCOM BB.

*from friday to sunday couldnt connect to internet using 3g line but only GPRS line. area -> shah alam section 24.

*right now cannot open any website at all despite i passed the connection with 3g line. area -> UNITEN KAJANG

both situatuions were using n73 as modem.

any advice? damn it.

For Kuching people, especially who lives near or inside Universiti Malaysia Sarawak.

A Celcom technician call me just now, saying that there's network congestion occured starting from 12PM - 3AM everyday, but it may start early around 9AM. Most the traffic is from UNIMAS students because there's no phone line installed at nearby housing areas.

The only Celcom tower that covers UNIMAS and part of Taman Desa Ilmu is inside the UNIMAS, and the other one is near the roundabout to UiTM Sarawak.

They already propose a new tower built at Taman Desa Ilmu to increase the available traffic, and also handle future traffics. The new tower will serve the customer early next year.

P/S: Sila bersabar.
