QUOTE(Mr Cola @ Aug 10 2008, 03:41 PM) The 1st 6months free internet usage is using whose internet? Celcom? If yes, advisable that re-confirm weather Celcom having this promotion or not to avoid any dispute. You can't find them back after PC fair ended. From what the salesperson told me, she said that I'll be using the Celcom internet connection for 6 months without any charges. She informed me that they're from the Celcom centre at JB, at Taman Tasek. She also mentioned, that I actually paid RM 699 - RM 408 (68x6 months for D68 plan) = RM 291 only for the modem. Don't know whether I could trust them or not   |

QUOTE(Mr Cola @ Aug 10 2008, 04:02 PM) Not very sure, maybe they really doing such promotion, but maybe not. They will provide you official Celcom bill or not? Hehe, thanks Mr Cola 4 ur help If they do promotions in PC fair, i think you have to pay first then they will send the registration form to branch to activate it in 24hours. But afraid that they're not from Celcom. Can't 100% sure they're from Celcom branch. Even you call to careline, they can't give you confirm answer too. So my advise is, becareful. lol. Can't help you to 100% verify them. Add on : Anyway, you can give a try, if they're fake, take that you bought a modem for RM699. hah.  I guess I could wait a little bit more to get my hands on Celcom Broadband  |

QUOTE(kerollowyat @ Sep 7 2008, 04:00 AM) Just finish reading through the thread I'll try to answer some of the q's. If I'm wrong, maybe the sifus here will correct me. Got a few questions to ask: 1. I'm planning on subscribing to Celcom BB, the person in charge of the subscription ask my mother's name, but not my dad's. Why is that? 2. How long exactly the activation period. One forumer stated that the activation only need 2 - 4 hours. Bu, mine been told it will take 3 working days. 3. Celcom will cap the speed if 5G quota been reached. Is doing the "command prompt" trick will be include in the quota. I think it will, as the 5G include sent/received data. 4. I'm planning on getting D68 package. So, what's modem is appropriate - 3.2Mbps or 7.2Mbps. Thanks  This is the speed that I'm getting (using my friend's modem)  1. I guess it's for security purposes since each time when I'm calling the customer service, the operator will ask this question to confirm my identity. 2. It took 7 working days for me to get my account to be activated. I guess it differs between each person but 3 working days is a safe bet if you didn't apply @ the celcom branch bc if you submit your application there, it would be activated in 24 hours IIRC. 4. Huawei E220 is working just fine for me. It's a cheaper alternative and it really served me well for my purposes (surfing, torrenting & downloading). Hope that helps. |

QUOTE(punditski @ Sep 11 2008, 11:41 PM) 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. 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. |
