welcome to celcom bb v5 so far torrenting wif celcom bb is a good choice

wuhuuu
v5 already!

-Hmm, since mid-January this year, my connection is really horrible here in Kulim, Kedah:

1. It's very hard to get connected (have to try multiple times, if cannot, wait and try again);
2. Very slow like I've been throttled (but never reach the quota - at ~64kbps, how could I?);
3. Frequently get the "Service Not Available"/"Service Not Allowed" errors (blue/red banners);
4. Too slow connection on HTTPS connection, often timed-out;
5. Cannot use Microsoft Windows/Automatic Update - error 0x80072F76 (since several months ago, probably related to HTTPS issue as AU/WU use port 443 also);
6. And, very, very hard to upload anything, even sending PMs or replying to a topic here on Lowyat.net forum!

-BTW, I'm using Novatel Wireless Merlin U530 PCMCIA modem on Celcom D68.

@soundsyst64,
-Nice post count (999).


Regards.

Musafir_86 , that seems serious.
Have you make a report to Celcom?

@musafir_86,
hv u tried @ other places?how is it?if it's ok,then it was ur area having problem. a complaint might solve it..

-Since I registered last April (2008), I already made numerous complaints, but most of them (the reports) were pretty useless (didn't solve the problem).
Now I'm tired already... (but still complaint at 1111 once in a while if serious issue happens will I'm doing something urgent).


Regards.

I presume it's celcom problem, not your problem. Based on what I've seen and heard during my subscription time last year, the overall traffic now is completely congested, like streamyx. Hope digi 3g covers whole malaysia as soon as possible.

-So, you're not using Celcom Broadband anymore? Or using side-by-side together with Digi 3G? Is it better?

Mr Musafir,
Are u from kulim ?
Why not try winet or digi EDGE ?
No point stick with celcom narroband.

@JLA,

-Their coverage aren't within my frequent areas, and not in my village also (in Sungai Petani). Furthermore, my U530 doesn't support EDGE. As for WINET, we have to buy additional (different) peripherals, and it isn't mobile/portable, too.

sometimes connection really ok..finish download Punisher 2+Slumdog Millionaire in one night..

Musafir_86 , have you try to unistall the modem?
Other than that , try to use GPRS instead of HSDPA.

i suggest u check yur modem first. i once used ovation. same thing happend. but now switched to huawei e960. expensive but worthwhile. and it's a wired and wireless router as well

I'm in Kuantan for a one day trip.
I'm still capped.
Consider lucky.

wah V5 already.... so many user not satisfied with celcom broadband.... i suggest they change it to CELCOM BOREDBAND... because most of the time u been bored waiting for the page to load... huhu... i think i'll wanna reg the name BOREDBAND as a trademark before they use it for real hahaha....

-I afraid this isn't modem issue because once in a while I try to connect around 3~5am in the morning, and I could get very good speed (sometimes)!
But, I want to sleep la at that time...

-BTW, forgot to add:
7. Now, it's really easy to get disconnected even when the signal is between 3-4 bars!


Regards.

yap, their line seems to be garbage right now......
some say they are doing improvement, that make the line goes horrible
but it seems to be taking too long.................. starting to wonder if it is true
