Nice speed. Have u gone beyond 5GB limit? I am in HSDPA area but the network kicks me out to UMTS after few seconds of every connection. Well, my billing cycle is nearing so let's see wad happen then. Maybe then I can use HSDPA.... Or not.

Still have 0kb/s download problem. Dunno why. Reported the problem since 3 days ago n Celcom didnt seem to bother. Either it is done on purpose to curb bandwidth or it is "accidentally" done... YM and MSN login are ok now. But since there are still such reported problems, it wont be long till my IM login fails...

I also noticed they have changed the subnet. Not sure the correct term to use. Previously was something like dns*.celcom.net.my. Now it is like shtdns*.celcom.net.my. IP remains unchanged though. Very weird... Celcom has never for once provided stable connection... Problem here... Problem there...

Celcom sure got problem everywhere
Less service, lots of problem

My latest, record-breaking speed...



Not only the speed is so slow. Whenever loading a page, it stops loading after a few seconds. 0kb/s again... Wad exactly is Celcom doing? I passed by a sales booth today, the promoters were bragging about upgrade in speed. Well there were two subscribing there, apparently unaware of wad will happen after they signed on the dotted lines...

Compared to wad I used to have, this is a definite downgrade. It is as fast as GPRS. Having a HSDPA connection with the speed of GPRS. It is like buying a CD with sound quality of cassette tape... A complete disguise, perfectly done to attract new users. Let them happy for awhile and when the speed is reduced and they start complaining, Celcom will just use its trump card. "System is undergoing upgrade. Expect some increase in speed in NEAR future."

And I paying 98 a month for this... I pray that DiGi 3G is launched ASAP. I dun care if I have to pay more for unlimited bandwidth (if DiGi does have one) as long as it is better than Celcom. I rather pay more for a complete, real unlimited package than a sham "unlimited" package!

I noticed the speedtest result has the ISP name of Celcom Internet Service Provider, not TMNET that was used to be. They seem to be making a complete overhaul in their system. Perhaps now with better technicians and engineers, with new programs that detect and monitor bandwidth usage thoroughly... The day they have made 100% capture rate on users with 5GB limit is the day Celcom users jump ship to Maxis or DiGi. RM 98 for 5GB a month is a total rip-off!!!

DiGi will launch its 3G very very soon. It is an insider news. Plus with super attractive price, I don't know what is that because still can't be revealed.

Anyway, it will be implemented gradually. Klang Valley residents will enjoy DiGi 3G first.

I'll abandon Celcom too when it is the time.

I can't even open Speedtest.net

Whao. Really aa? Hope the service is waaaaaaay better than Celcom

Yeah, they couldn't make it before Chinese New Year.
Let's hope for the best from the yellow boat.

Please, please DiGi, introduce ur 3G faster... Attractive price? Good to hear that. Just praying that DiGi coming to my area fast enough. As long as the service is good, price will be the least of my concern. Cant wait to see wad they offer. Cant wait to call Celcom CS once I terminate my acc. U guys cant imagine how long it takes to load this page... It feels like going back using dial-up.

Lets go yellow, ppl!!!

Can't wait for Digi 3G
it sure gonna take a while tho.. to reach my area

Just be positive. Knowing DiGi, it will most likely be better than Celcom. My modem goes crazy now, blinking dark blue and cyan. Maybe due to very unstable signal strength from Celcom. For the last 12 hours, I have been kicked from HSDPA to UMTS and to GPRS for countless times. Another excellent service from Celcom. Unlimited bandwidth plus blinking modem for free. All for just 98 a month.

Another test...



I not sure y Celcom ppl keep messing around with the existing network. Change here, change there. All for the sake of cutting bandwidth. Have they ever thought of getting better not worse... +1 vote for Celcom "ultimate" dissatisfaction!!!!

blinking modem for free?!
with the service

Good news is... The free-of-charge part is the "blinking". Not the "modem". Please read Celcom's terms and conditions for further details.

Not sure good news for u

The modem can "blink"?! for free?! Woo-hoo!!

p/s: crazy dy, coz of Celcom bb

dunno for how long i'm gonna wear my siggy

selling 2nd celcom modem anyone interested pm me pls..

Until Digi 3G come out?

my guess is digi 3g oso apply 5GB cap.

btw, happy birthday TS.

what does this mean, "82/18 dissatisfaction"?

I really dun understand how come my connection get shifted to GPRS all the time. My 3G signal strength is 5 bar. Celcom has really pissed me off. The connection has become so unstable with so many problems. I wanna see how fast my connection is in few days' time when my billing cycle is renewed. See if Celcom can provide fast connection before 5GB limit...

DiGi may also have 5GB limit but if it does have only 5GB limit, DiGi will not gain alot of customers. The only way to attract more users is to offer higher bandwidth since Celcom has widest coverage. If DiGi ppl did some market survey, they will realise the weakness of Celcom BB right now and make the best out of it. If it offers higher than 5GB and more attractive price, alot of existing Maxis and Celcom users will abandon and shift to DiGi. That is if DiGi wanna take the opportunity. Lets hope so.

i'm still din undestand why so fuss about locking ur band to only 3G

I did try to lock "3G only". The problem is I will be getting 0kb/s download speed after some time... Dude, if I havent tried every solution, would I be so mad? Even after 3 calls to Celcom CS...

I will still wish DiGi 3G to come out soon. Everyday there are ppl subscribing to Celcom (most unaware of the unstable and ridiculous capped speed) and yet, Celcom doesnt increase its bandwidth to satisfy the demands. It is like KTM. As long as the train can still run, no need for new trains or longer trains. Now, Celcom's approach is similar.
