U are not alone , I have the same problem in Johor Bahru , for weeks already . Thinking of switching to Streamyx ......

wierd but true the connection in my place become a lot more stable. however the download speed so slow. It took me almost 2 days to download a series which have a very good seeding...

no need to think anymore! u should switch to Streamyx!!

Sure ?
So , anybody want to buy my 4 months old Huawei E270 3G modem ?????

Downloading now is considered a luxury. Honestly, since the connection in my area is so unstable, I can hardly download any big file. Browsing light webpages and checking mails r the only usage of my RM98/month connection. When set to "3G only" connection, the speed will go down to 0kbps after some time. If not set that way, the connection will go to GPRS. Well, at least GPRS still offers download speed up to 6KB/s... Better than 0kbps...

I would like to think that Celcom ppl consider reading users' feedbacks from here but the chances are slim. They already had enough complaints from the CS department... Most of them are, of course, rendered irrelevant or BS (by Celcom CS ppl) coz my complaints have gone unanswered... Maybe just Celcom promoters lurking around here giving some "positive" feedbacks.

Well, even if Celcom ppl do read the feedbacks here, even slimmer chances that Celcom will act appropriately and somehow improve. The only way Celcom will improve is to force it to do so. Either a new competitor enters the market with more aggressive and attractive packages or the G's intervention. I am hoping for the former. Hope DiGi can bring the 3G service standard much better than current Celcom standards. Or Maxis may also improve, hopefully.

One other extreme option is not to use Celcom. Once alot of customers leaving Celcom due to its inferior services, no doubt Celcom has to improve. But honestly there will still be ppl needing internet connections, so this is quite invalid. Unless, wired ISPs like Streamyx has succeeded in providing connections in every corner of Malaysia. If my area does have Streamyx, I leave Celcom a long time ago. Or probably never even considered it!

from what i heard, Streamyx is better in term of performance and stability
if ur area got Streamyx, better go for Streamyx. no need for this Sialkom bb

PM me how much u want to sell ur modem, my friend might want to buy if the price ok

The speed is horribly slow for this past one week. This is what i am getting for D98. I'm in Pg.





And you know what -- I CAN'T EVEN LOAD TO WWW.CELCOM.COM.MY with my Mozilla!!!!!!

Nationwide prob again. I have been having this prob since 6th till now.

Ya me too. Around 5-7th, cant really remember exact date. Seems to nationwide prob but could very well be an extreme move to curb the bandwidth. Since I havent heard from Celcom CS after my complaints, most likely it is not problem, just measures to limit bandwidth. However I seen some high numbers in speedtest.net. Could be numbers from new users or ppl nearer to towers.

My result...



Upload speed almost equal to download???

digi 3G??everyone is waiting for it and damn it..when will Digi launching 3G...zzz...

gud to hear everybody want to switch to digi 3g..
coz celcom bb will better,n same prob to digi 3g
when users r to high huhu

Ya totally agree with you
They need more competitor in order to improve

i also had the same problem as u...

aft 2 weeks my report had lodged to the kind customer careline, they informed me that the slow connection problem due to the congestion in my area (setapak), so they are upgrading their service...but the "kerja kerja pembaikan" will till MARCH [COLOR=red]


so, what to do? terus terminate the siaocom bb

only now can connect

from what i've read. 'u r totally wrong'..hehe
mine already capped but still serve me well...

haih last few days ago my dl was smooth. now all stuck d. when celcom gonna fix this prob

i think there's no terminal support HSDPA only except the 1 u can enable or disable HSDPA features like dopod838pro

So far for my area, Celcom Broadband works well but I'm on the D68 plan though. Cruising at 300-350kbps most of the time from speedtest.

haha..me also thinking the way u do man..cant wait,but if digi is better,why not giv a try!btw providing gud svc is not 1 day job..i wont expect much!
