Celcom technician called me yesterday and spoke to me politely that I've exceeded the usage of 5GB. Though I've known earlier but I acted as if I don't know.

Since I just bought a new netbook and I'm now utilising the campus free WiFi. The signal received is not full bars, with only good reception.

Speedtest:
But I'm contented.

Mine

thats kinda my average speed 1 month ago..I hope ur connection will get better. Have u ever tried to do speedtest during really off peak hour? Then u might know whether it's congestion issue..most probably.

so did u tell them tat Celcom should advertise tat D68 is 64 kbps and D98 is actually 128kbps connnection.
Wat the hell they advertise its 384 kbps and 3.6Mbps connection , rite

now any tom,ali and harry surely utilise more than 5GB of bandwidth when they use mobile bb, cause its mobile meaning we can use it on-the-go and we will use up the allocated BW much faster

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
why standalone modem is recommanded? in terms of connection speed and stability?
which model of modem that can support celcom 3g?
what is indoor/outdoor coverage? becoz i found that most of coverage area is outdoor as listed by celcom.

thanks

May i answer some of your questions there

Why standalone modem?
The modem will generates heat when you use it. More heat emitted especially when you're downloading stuff
If you're using your mobile phone as modem, the heat produced due to continuous usage as modem might shorten your mobile phone lifespan

Usually, all modem sell in our country can be used with celcom3g, maxis, etc.. since there're all unlocked.
There's no use of selling modem which cannot be used in our country
If you wish to buy a modem, you can buy it from Garage Sales. Many forumer selling it with reasonable price

Someone correct me if i'm wrong

hi all..
i've just use celcom broadband since last week..
i take D98 package..
my coverage at my area was full with HSDPA.
but recently(this 2days) my speed have become around 50Kbps..
what should i do?? call celcom n compalint?? or just leave it...??

Did you get that speed during peak hours?
Have you try to connect during non peak hours? If you can get good speed at that time, then it was probably because of network congestion
If you sure that the problem is on their side (Celcom) and not because of network congestion in your area, go ahead and complain

Is the D98 package need to pay fee for activation RM98? Why D68 free.. Waaa

Ek, what do you mean? You pay RM98 when registering for D98? Isn't that normal?
If you mean that, RM98 + activation fee, i'm not sure about that, since i'm a D68 user
Sorry if i misunderstood your question there

did u use up all of ur 5Gb in just one week?

Added on February 17, 2009, 9:48 pmRM98 actually will be waived into ur account. So, basically, 1st month don't have to pay anything. Somebody please correct me if i'm wrong on this one.

Ha? Waive? I go to the shop. After that i see the modem.. I ask and he tell me modem still RM399.. Not RM333 like the on paper ads. He dunno about RM333 price .. So i don't want use the modem.. I only register broadband without modem. After that he ask me RM98 for register D98 plan. Wahhh.. I ask why need to pay RM98.. He tell it for registration. So i pay and he give me receipt. Waaaa.

Of course you need to pay for registration, else how is your line gonna get activated? Nothing is free. Yes, for D98 needs to pay RM 98 and D68 needs to pay RM 68. You do not need to pay for anything for the first bill as you have made your payment during registration.

But he say D68 is free.. No need to pay

This is my speed tonight at ipoh after upgrade to advance package

Well still satisfactory in my opinion but the upload speed is ridiculously low.

any solution about this problem....call celcom careline and told them or ....

Well I unsatisfactory with that speed because it should be 3.6Mbps but what I get is 1.4Mbps maximum...hehe currently I using vodafone easybox and it can only support maximum 1.8Mbps....yesterday while download my modem hang
