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

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). smile.gif

Hello all.

Im going tu get the D98+free modem pakage...Is there any other extra charges applied other than the RM119 that is offered..??

the modem is not free. you pay for it. better still, buy your own modem. you are free from any contract. you pay less monthly too. start with d68 first. you can upgrade anytime

-Hmm, how about we all gathered and collect signatures, then sign a memorandum and/or petition to Celcom.
Invite all other Celcom BB users that we know also (those who uses it 3++ months and suffered below par service).

-Or, how about organizing a demonstration in front of Celcom HQ?
Or more daring, we all don't pay the bill for 2 (or 3) consecutive months?

-Just my (not so useful) opinions... smile.gif

no. that could put us into trouble with the goverment. akta hasutan. hehehe. better still, why not we all go out and terminate our account. say for 2 months. in the mean time, we all use dialup. for most of us, using cbb is like using dialup already. sometimes worse still.

i just found out. if i use p1 speedometer, celcom speedometer or speedtest, i would get different readings. but what puzzled me is that, if i use p1 speedometer, i could get upload speed of over 100kbps. however if i use speedtest, i could get no upload speed.

if call to callcenter, you must have with you full name of registered owner, simcard tel number and contact number. but if you deal with service center, registered owner must deal directly. no proxy. my experience
