Finally, i have subscribe D68 & the speed at my house is full bar HSDPA, so i went to upgrade to D98. After that, i cant connect since last night after upgrade. When i contact celcom centre, they told me that my application still in progress due to today off day then have to wait until Monday.

my question is anybody experience the unusable period during upgrade?

You shouldn't have upgraded, just register for new D98. smile.gif Can get the SIM card on the spot and activated within 24 hours. Mine was activated within 6 hours. smile.gif
Not trying to pour cold water on you, but they take very slow progress on upgrading service. sweat.gif
Perhaps, digilife can explain better as he did encounter such situation, ended up he just registered a new D98. smile.gif

Dear Fruitie, thanks for advice. Today morning 9am i jus approach them ask them when is my port will reconnect. They ask me for another 3 working days. I straight away terminate the line & re-apply a new one. I rather pay another rm98 for reg than call morning to night getting the same answer 'system update failure'. They said will re-fund to me rm68 within 4 mth.
Today jus hope miracle happen waiting my line get activated else hav to wait tomorrow (within 24 hrs).

Cheer to good sialcom service.

Hi. I'm thinking of getting the RM68 package for my sister in law who's studying in Melaka. my question is:

1) why is the broadband basic package + free modem = RM99/mth not recommended? is it cuz of the contract period?

2) if i opt for the RM68 basic package only, will i still need to get a modem? RM500 for a modem is quite expensive la.

3) or maybe can just use handphone? she's using Sony Ericsson W580..no 3G, not sure bout HSDPA. so still can use?

4) for the basic package rm68, how much do I need to pay initially? no deposit needed?

Thanx!

- If u subcribe the package, u can't terminate any time coz u bond to 18mth contact. tongue.gif
- if u insist to terminate, a surcharge RM 350 will be penalize. cry.gif
- adversely if u buy a modem first (~RM 350) then u can terminate any time without surcharge & u can resell to other that need to be next victim of slow connection. doh.gif
- h/p is not advice to use coz will shorten the batt life & also connection respond is slower. whistling.gif
- first time u have to paid RM68 jus like prepaid then after that is postpaid for the following mth if u hav the modem. cool2.gif

thx for your reply boboy! haha. i'm a bit worried about your point #3...do u mean that I'll almost certainly get slow connection speeds using Celcom broadband with the RM350 modem??? Anywhere also the same or only in certain places? and what if i buy another modem that's better or more expensive?
*
- ok, let say after u subcribe, u find out the connection is a bit slow (GPRS speed) coz no/less coverage, then u can terminate anytime. Then the modem in ur hand u can resell to others who want to start new package.

- regarding the coverage & speed of certain area, u have to go to nearest celcom centre to check it out. Don be shy, ask them 'kao kao' until they feel u fussy....haha. flex.gif

- current everyone using huawei E220 that u can get in the forum (~RM 350) which same model with celcom selling (RM 499), If u prefer better one jus go ahead, nothing will block u as long u got $$ brows.gif

hmm, ok boboy! Thanx! How does the speeds compare to Streamyx? biggrin.gif
*
Currently i also subcribe streamyx 512 but going to terminate it since my company only let me choose either one.

what i can say stramyx is
- streamyx more stable (at my place) but slower compare to 3G when u open youtube, download never try yet. tongue.gif
- no mobility
- no raining/cloud affected
- no flexibility (contract 1 or 2 yr)

I was using Sony Ericsson M600i until I sold it and bought a Huawei USB after upgrade from D68 to D98. Both handphone and Huawei same fast response, but only thing is, the handphone will hang after using more than 6 hours or sometimes 12 hours for heavy torrent. FYI I have used 64Gb about half a month time. No capped.

wah.... cheer to ur SE, my k610i allow me on 15 min with fluctuate line speed 115k nia. sad.gif

but current happy with HW E220 rclxms.gif
