Some Celcom Broadband subscribers just don't know what they're dealing with. Actually they're buying a tiny 10G worth of internet usage for RM98 package, means that it's not so-called UNLIMITED .

Within 0-10G usage, you'll get speed ranging 15-160kbps(speed varies on location). But after you've exceed that limit, it's a no-no to surf, almost impossible. It'll drop to 10-15kbps afterward.

What's even greater is, the promoter guy I've talked to didn't even know anything about the Celcom's Fair Usage Policy.

So, it's nice to puzzle him with his own core-business.

the promoter only know the package and the rate of celcom broadband...
but the promoter do not expert with the policy..
it also happened with me before this..

Well, it isn't surprising that they do not know about the fair usage policy since it is usually "hidden" in their website. You will have to really look for it carefully and what's more is that most people don't bother reading something full with words.

i am using U-Mobile to connect..........

my connection also suks during the day till midnite

although my speedtest now shows good results, it is still laggy

how is Celcom mbb now?

My friend is using mine now in Cheras and it is so-so which is still acceptable for light usage such as web browsing.

i just get Celcom Broadband D68 last week, at start i just great, P2P maintain at 40KB/s but after 3 days my 5GB limit cutting in. now i'm crying watching my P2p download at 10-4KB/s. any idea how 2 unblock my 5 GB limit. senior, any trick?

sign up another new line

or try U-mobile @ rm68/mth ( HSDPA ).........so called "unlimited"
now testing to leech as much as possible till it stops by U's 5GB policy ( which many U users claim still not enforce yet )

If there is way, do let me know too.
There is no way.

I begin to suspect my line got capped because I was watching P2P streaming, before this I never tried this kind of programs. I was using only BT client to download my series.
Now I regret and I think I won't try for the second time when my line is uncapped...

Cannot enter youtube now?

Edit: Can liao..

Well there is no way you can do that and even if you can it would involve hacking already and it is illegal so just forget it and live with the limit.

Amazing! after days beng capped i'm experience a miracle today on downloading

at least ok laa....direct download of 100kbps average

results

Well, the upload doesn't look okay at all though.

It's the latest one...the Vodafone one...I'll try it later

Thanks for the info!





Yeaa...I was somehow tricked into getting Celcom...the promoter claimed it was unlimited, then I installed the application that comes with the modem and I saw the usage bar and went back to find the promoter the next day to ask about it... He then said oh, but it's unlimited! After you use up 5GB, your speed will be slowed down, but it's still usable! I'm starting to doubt that the speed after it's capped is still usable after reading the posts here...I'm using D98 btw..

First of all yes it is unlimited as you can use it 24 hours and still be charged at either RM68 or RM98 monthly. The only thing is that there is the Fair Usage Policy. It can still be claimed as unlimited since you do not get disconnected nor barred from using it when you touch the limit.

@ yongkailoon
it's been like that since day 1

If the upload speed is that terrible, usually web browsing will be slightly affected too since data has to be send from your side as well.

browsing has been so-so over here, forums & frequent sites gets some cache stored so ok laa.
only watching youtube videos, slow

Well since it is only 7kbps, even when you click Add Reply you will still need to send the request to the server so with speeds this slow, it is amazing that you are still surviving with it.

like you said, just live it with it....yeah i guess i survived the ordeal

As long as you are able to use it without much frustration especially when the download speed is similar to what a 1mbps connection can achieve and the ping to a local server is about 300ms, everything should be tolerable.
