hey folks,
I'm UTM Skudai student... interested to get a Celcom BB soon... any existing user around skudai area can give feedback about the speed and service in this area? And, what is the recommended (and cheap!) modem that has LAN port? Reason i choose LAN over usb is the antenna (to get better signal?) and planning to share connection with my room-mate later. Thanks...  |

QUOTE(prolexus @ Aug 13 2008, 07:07 PM) D50 = D98 in all aspects. Your biggest advantage is that you only be paying rm50 monthly as compared to rm98 the rest of the poor sods here are paying. how to subscribe to that package? |

Hi,
I've just registered D98 last saturday. Today tested at UTM Skudai with 4 bar HSDPA signal, only manage to get 100kbps at speedtest.net. Why so slow? |

QUOTE(fruitie @ Oct 6 2008, 06:59 PM) Oh, then you may try... But latency is quite high, observe some time first then only change. but u have to pay extra rm10 for stamp duty..  I suggest you terminate your D68 then only apply a new line for D98, don't straight upgrade. They take long time to do it and you may leave with no connection for few days.   |

QUOTE(fruitie @ Oct 6 2008, 07:18 PM) Yes, but the opportunity cost is time consumption. but with that, wont u get double bill later? Some forummers here needed to wait few days only got activated while some already started paying for RM 98 for 1 month plus but no improvement for the connection.  For me, I terminated my D68 and registered new D98 with new SIM card. Syok because got activated less than 6 hours.  |

But some that got .130 claimed to be very bad IP, try to avoid yourself from getting it... This link checks IP address in the fastest pace i never got .130 ip  |
