Im using Celcom USB (Huawei E220). From my experience, if u always connected to the HSDPA..then connection quite good to play ol game (average 350-600ms of latency, could hv spike lag up to 800ms). With UMTS connection..bad idea, latency too high. During peak time (8pm-11pm usually), got random disconnects..probably due to heavy traffic at that time.

IMO, it depends on how many users connecting to the network at one time, which determines ur connection good or not.

perfectly normal...i've changed my sim card twice already due to excessive usage

For playing online games like maple or dota, has anyone tried it? I know celcombb is not meant for gaming, but has anyone tried it? Can give some review, like will it dc or something?

i have played dota in garena. For me, it depends what time i play,usually at night will abit of delay and laggy but other time it's still ok for me...smooth. another problem is when u play half way it might randomly dc from the server...

celcom bb better now

Oh thanks shenngin, I plan to get D98 package. So you have contract for 18 months? What if I didn't apply for modem? Is the speed ok? Thanks in advance.

im using d98 package..
and the speed really slow at ss2 s.alam..
any1 can help me solve this problem..
Last Result:
Download Speed: 122 kbps (15.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 93 kbps (11.6 KB/sec transfer rate)

how much u downloaded? if more than 5GB than u are capped

Well, I know I have been capped... So download big files is out of question but now, I cant even log in MSN?

One day, I can log in... The next day, fail... This pattern has been repeating for God-knows-how-long... This is so frustrating...

My test


How on earth is this an acceptable level of so-called "best-effort" basis... Dun think Celcom put any effort in improving the network at all. They just keep on upgrading their "bandwidth tracking" system. Last time, I am still uncapped even after 5GB. Now, when reached 5.01GB, the speed was instantly changed. I still see some flaws coz some people still get uncapped even after 5GB limit but since Celcom keeps on "upgrading", it is the matter of "when" not "how" these lucky people get their share of agony... When that day finally here, this thread is officially filled with 99% dissatisfaction. I have a hunch it wont be long unless DiGi launches its 3G and steals Celcom customers...

can someone tell me how i check the bill i mean which column shows the money i need to pay ?i go there check very blur.

also when is the due date ?

why the bill not RM98 ? i think they charge something then it becomes RM 107.80(RM98+RM9.80).

thx

haha..i knew it but i live happily with it
what i meant is,no capped applied
anyway, to b truth,it wasn't always like that...nothing perfect!

1 more thing,i normally used v3xx rather than dopod 838pro coz v3xx is cheaper is anything happen later on..who knows,excessive heat or whatever.v3xx tends to camp onto 3g even it support hsdpa whereby 838pro normally on hsdpa,dun know why..cud b the phone algorithm,since 838pro was more dedicated for data svcs.so, it justify why the speed perform like d68

p/s : if i cant get along,it might be 'unhealty' fr me

Been ditching Mobile Connect and only use Windows dial-up for my Huawei E220 for more than 2 weeks now
Set it to auto connect when i start my laptop Dunno how much i've downloaded dy. Gonna be capped sooner or later i guess
Can imagine dy, how the speed if capped Sure SUX!

The speed depends of how many users connecting and network stability. It does not involve which package you're taking.

Is it your first month? If does, celcom charge you monthly fee + prorate charges only applcable for first month. After that, they will charge you RM 98.

Take a look on second page of the bill. It'll shows the payment breakdown. Due date usually early next month.

Celcom sux!!!!
i ve to pay 300+++ for 3g usage coz i dun subscribe to broadband..but y don they xplain this when i sign up..i mean tell me how much they charge per kb when used 3G services ...blearghh~~
then they block my acc. then i paid...full 3++..then wait for them to activate my acc back..3 days i wait..nothing happen..shi###...then last nite i cal the careline services..they said that we r sorry..we ve technical problem..usually when u pay the bill the acc will activate automatically..but as there r some problem, my acc not activate automatically .. so u need to let us noe..damn it! so if i keep waiting and not call them..till when i can use my phone again..sh$$#@
and then they ask me to call when i ve similar problem..call 100 which they will charge me RM1 - RM2 per cal...
wa wa wa.....~

I do not agree 5GB monthly data bandwidth quota..
If we are paying Rm98 monthly and paid for a brand new Celcom U1 modem which cost Rm699 and this is wat we gonna get reduce connection speed after 5gb it's sounds so unfair...

Added on January 13, 2009, 10:58 amhuawei e220 usb modem how fast can the speed goes up to?? Do we still need to subcribe to our local telco eg:maxis,celcom or digi??

You use their service means of course, there's a charge. It's not free after all.

Huawei E220 can accept the network up to 7.2Mbps, and also can accept any other telco as long as the modem is unlocked version.

You can buy at garage sales instead of buying straight from telco. You can save a lot.

5GB...what can we do, it's their policy
My Huawei E220 hav speed 7.2Mbps, after flashed before only 3.6Mbps.
but it no use actually, mine only D68

Yes. need to subscribe to Celcom or Maxis or etc. Cannot use the modem without a sim card lo
