Iphone 3G 16G unlock version from Italy
Location: Kajang/Cyberjaya
Speed: always around 1-80kbps,sometimes (very rare and short period) go up to 800kbps

just subscript to Celcom 3G 98package,
i use wget to retrieve files from local website,
found that the data service from celcom not really good.

Anyone have a better result ?

any1 tried maxis data pkg?

i currently din subscribe any data pkg, due to no budget =.=

FYI, celcom broadband now getting worst, i dunno why.
currently using 68 package. but not using iphone.

Today i test beside kedia celcom(above got radio towel), can get around 900kbps,
but problem is once go beyond 15meter, the speed drop to 500kbps,
and 30meter it drop to 200,
i believe HSDPA is only for those people who is use the service 25 meter beside the towel.

currently not sure is that the problem with the phone or what, but it seem nothing i can do with it.
latency test best result is 200ms. (beside Celcom branch)

My celcom 3G top speed recorded so far is 57kbps only....

Did you try Maxis ?
my uncle say Maxis get better speed
57kbps... thinking cancel the unlimited.

I am using DIGI EDGE on my iphone 3G.. Use PDANET as wireless modem/router on iphone.. Speed test got 210 kbps.. My area i can get a very stable EDGE internet connection..

I think can conclude that while signal strength is ok, performance drops when too many users load a node.

For wifi, not sure whether that speed is reading PenangFon or Airport extreme wifi (N). 10mbps is hell lot fast but am not seeing that in normal surfing. I think in Pg, the speedtest server is PenangFon (in KL is metro something) and is connected by fibre - hence the incredible speeds!

ps. how do you add a table to a post?

there are 2 type maxis internet

1. maxis postpaid - data unlimited (APN = unet)
2. maxis broadband (APN = maxisbb)

i think unet likely to be faster due to less users using it

what is the charges for both packages?

This is actually a known issue is 3G(HSDPA) network..the spectrum coverage is not as far as those edge and gsm.. that's why for 3g they need to strategically place the BTS..if u r so unlucky n u fall into the blind spot area that's why the signal strength is unstable....
