Celcom has NEVER been trouble-free for a long time. Just days ago, cannot log in MSN. Now, the signal strength in my area is 1/4 of its usual strength. I got to place my modem high up (close to the ceiling) to get 1 bar... Imagine having 4 bars at one instance and suddenly it drops to some level beyond negligence. Speed is as usual capped to speeding-bullet-speed of 128kbps, supposedly claimed by Celcom to be the fastest... Thumbs down, Celcom! Very irritating - problems keep on popping out every week or so. And the very same excuse of "upgrading" is agitating! Calling the Celcom CS is like listening to a broken record. Sorry, sir.... We are having some upgrade and bla bla bla... I also cant find the "real" unlimited package posted here. Supposed to come out last month...
I guess since DiGi has not make a move to 3G, Celcom just keeps on pretending to offer "best" services and doesn't bother to upgrade. The usual "DONT CARE" attitude.
To those having uncapped speed despite breaching the 5GB limit, all I can advise is dun get excited too early... I used to be on my first few days using Celcom. After all the months I used this service, I am just praying that there is no problem despite the pathetic speed. After all, there is no other ISP around my area. Or else, I wont be using Celcom.
From speedtest.net, I noticed that the general latency is much lower nowadays, with 300-400ms. Very few having 200+. Previously, I got 200+ all the times. Safe to say, it is technical fault in Celcom's side. Or some intended way to curb the bandwidth... Wicked!!!
DiGi already got its 3G licence and waiting to roll it out this year, expected first quarter of 2009. Some Klang Valley residents have seen 3G and H sign appear on their cellphones, in fact DiGi is doing test run in Klang Valley.
About the 5GB limit is depended on the traffic of the users in that location. I'm not getting excited too early because I haven't been capped since I got my D98 in June 2008 but still hoping it continues like this.

I've no problem on my side besides the wrong bandwidth allocation in November, the technician actually came to my room to check and told me my room has the best location because MMU tower is just facing to my room directly.
