As i can see, a few of us had subscribe to our telco 3G unlimited plan after we get on hand on our iphone
me is 1 of them too...

so just want to create a poll see which 3G service you guys are using, and are u satisfy with it anot, and which you find that is the best?

For me i am using Maxis 3g unlimited plan, this few weeks i am extremely unhappy with it, as it always drop back to GPRS, and the speed is extremely slow

how about u guys?

I'm with Maxis but i never try others telco, so maybe some other forumers here will comment on their 3G services... will be appreciated...

Mine always change to Edge... lol

im on maxis 3g too ... no experience with the other telcos. all i can say that it is way way over-rated. the service sucks ...

well...heard that maxis 3G service sucks big time always drops to GPRS..got review from some frends celcom's 3G is much more better and winder coverage.

me too...thats the reason why i open this thread lo

seems many people recommend celcom

PS: mine rarely change to EDGE,always become GPRS....sienz

where on earth are you at?


because i'm perpetually around the klang valley area and it stays at 3G.

mine is 2G only but since I'm a maxis user so.. hahahahaha

im currently on Digi unlimited data plan which is good and the speed was awesome. but it is an Edge connectivity though. not a 3G. so far never drop to gprs unless im in a jungle somewhere near my kampung. streaming youtube without even pause for it to complete.

if for 3G wireless broadband, im more toward to celcom while maxis on the other side give me a bad service since the line likely to drop of to gprs not even Edge as Saf said.

i used celcom 3g before, all i can say is it is quite good when used outside klang valley. used in johor, melaka, negri sembilan, was quite happy with it.
then my fren, who bought maxis 3g, changed to celcom within 2 days. so i guess it says it all

my hometown is very kampung place also got 3G line.. but is celcom not maxis..

im currently on DiGi EDGE, no complain at all, the speed is stable yet fast (up to EDGE speed!!) everywhere i went also covered by EDGE!!

just that recently the service interrupted quite often due to system upgrade to 3G!! looking forward for DiGi 3G

Waiting for DiGi 3G!! Yea!!!

Well, for the moment celcom still the best in 3g...may be due to their wider coverage..

i am working in DiGi and the 3G service is already available since June 08. Jus that havent launch it and make it to public b4 DiGi make sure everything is OK. But so far, its GOOD. You guys out there wont regret when it launch and open for public.

so far maxis is goood for me,i heard they giving away W910i for a few SMS's or some sort.

Wow...thanks for the useful info!

how long can iphone battery last?

I'm satisfied with Celcom 3G service, I'm utilising its unlimited HSDPA package.

the last i've know is 2 days.

is all depends on your usage....

for me, coz i use quite alot on EDGE connection, and push e-mail with my yahoo account every 30min, my battery can last for one and a half day...

Celcom 3G has the widest coverage n fast too !

rawang, klang, sungai buloh, and sometimes PJ area....

hmm...seems time to change to celcom man

I hope they wil reward loyal users like me for many years I've been their user..

patiently waiting for their 3G service.

i use celcom3g.. so far, in sarawak only celcom have the widest coverage here.. n fast also

using maxis.the 3G line at my area (cheras,tmn miharja) sometimes will drop to edge or even gprs,and on rare occasion will even show hsdpa

for me maxis the best!

i guess celcom is the best? although i'm using maxis myself.

of course la celcom...the broadband also fast arr.. maxis not enough coverage..

al qaeda oso use celcom in afgan.. must be celcom the winner... hehehhe..


just kidding .. cheers..

agreed bro.
celcom have the best coverage than maxis.

no doubt.. celcom have the widest coverage.. and the network also more stable compare to maxis..

Yes, and Celcom users are not tied with contract. I'm contented with its HSDPA coverage, at least I'm maximising my HSDPA broadband usage with it. Just that RM 98.00 per month is quite a lot, for a student like me.

recently in kl, the 3g coverage for celcom is not quite good. i found difficulties when surfing. mostly, they quite slow.

yup, that is why im not subsribe it.. i just sign up normal 3G plan (D68) only.. can save rm30 more haha..

one more thing, i think there is no use for me to sign up higher speed plan if the maximum usage quota still the same 5GB per month.. i would like to suggest to celcom that HSDPA (D98) max usage 10GB while 3G (D68) max usage 5GB, then maybe i'll consider to upgrade..

by the way, my friend (working at TM) got HSDPA plan only rm50/month.. so jelous..


no, its not the coverage problem.. they're currently upgrading their network, majority celcom 3G users face the same thing.. i also experiencing slow connection since last couple of weeks... they said the upgrading process will be completed in the midle of november..

oh thanks.. hope they'll improve more. n fast.

I was on D68 and upgraded to D98, really big difference in term of speed.
Well, not all will get throttled.

RM 50 was also for those first batch of Celcom broadband users and no expiry date, until they terminate their line.

waiting for digi to release their 3g line... and hope no line capping and the pirce is cheaper.

Well, EDGE has no cap. Hopefully that applies to its 3G too.
Luckily I'm not tied with any contract with Celcom.

is there a big different? coz im using d68, sometime the speed is really slow.

Ermm. It has difference on my side, not sure about your area.
I'm in full bar HSDPA enabled area and thus it makes difference, I can see it in my direct download and BT download.

maybe i should try d98 for couple of months, if im not satisfy, i can change anytime to d68 again since celcom didnt give any contract to it. nice..

Well, they said package upgrading is not that effective and takes slower time. So, what I did was terminate D68 and reapplied D98, have to waste RM 10 for stamp duty. That's all and activation was done within 4 hours.

maybe i should do like u do.. thanks for the info. i dont know bout that method. hehe..

But make sure you clear your outstanding bill first.

will do.. 1 quest though, how long does it takes to terminate recent account n open a new 1? how long to wait until the new sim card will activate?

Immediate termination.
Mine was activated in 4 hours. But give it 2 working days.

oh nice. hehe. thanks. btw, what modem are u using? do u find that wireless modem sometime can easily hang due cause of heating.. it occurs me n really frustrating especially when downloading from torrent.

I'm using ZTE MF622, slim and sleek. Not forgetting, it is good in heat emission too.

ZTE MF622 modem support 3.5G? How much is its current price?

It is a HSDPA modem with 7.2Mbps unlocked.
Erm, below RM 400.00. All HSDPA modems are below RM 400.00.
Check out at garage sales.

umobile zte mf622? im using that too.. maybe i should change to d98 too.

i bought around rm398 including celcom d68 subscription (celcom was free for 1 month).

im using celcom broadband for the last 8months. Paid rm400 for sierra wireless modem n tied up with contract for 18 months. monthly subscription is RM129.00....but so satisfied with the service....HSDPA and rarely goin down to GPRS...download Prison Break series using ARES so far no problem...

Ya. However, I don't face hang problem like you are facing.

sometime i left it for 12 hours (for BT ofcoz).. maybe thats why it hang.

I have never turned off my modem unless it disconnects on its own (very rare).
So, it is 24/7 BT and online.

wow!! u using laptop or pc?

Desktop PC obviously.

yeah. obviously.. but thanks for sharing that zte 622 can stay that long..

Well, ventilation plays an important role too. Just make sure the circulation of air is enough. My cable is quite long and it is exposed under my ceiling fan.

y digi no 3G de ?

no wonder it can go 24/7.. tq for sharing..

next year digi 3g will launch. keep in touch with digi..

really hope digi's 3G service launch earlier =)

really hope so...

no question, more than 70% voice out their view.. celcom3G is the best so far..

but we need to create new poll when digi launch their 3G soon..

at for this time being. im satisfied with celcom broadband.

that's a great news for loyal digi user like me. sorry i cant make any vote coz i use none of the service above

how about U Mobile 3G? i heard is only klang valley. right?

i think maxis coverage is like umobile coverage. within klang valey only.

Well, Maxis 3G does have coverage in few other areas besides Klang Valley like Penang, Melaka, Seremban and etc.
And yes, U Mobile is only within Klang Valley for now.

bottom line is, better get celcom broadband. cheaper, wider & no contract.

yeah..celcom are better..but when it rains, 3G will have problem...same like astro!..
