Celcom Broadband, anyone?

Celcom Broadband

I have been using Maxis Broadband for nearly 6 months, so far so good, yet the price for Celcom Broadband really attracts me a lot. RM68/month for 3.6 Mbps package, nice deal isn’t it? Tell me who doesn’t like cheap broadband with fast speed? Especially after reading in some local forums regarding their complaints of Maxis Broadband it really makes me want to change to Celcom Broadband.

For online gamers it is always a better choice to choose the plan with better connection, surely you won’t want to see you are just few steps before your mission accomplished & all of a sudden the pc lag & when everything is back to normal you see nothing but your character laid on the ground. ( This SUCKS especially when one more kill can gain you the Beyond Godlike status in DOTA )

One more thing about it is that if you have a 3G mobile phone, you can use it as modem and connect it to your computer to surf the internet, however the speed with be slightly slower.

So, will you subscribe to Celcom Broadband?

  2. I think you should forget your intention to subscribe celcom broadband. Coz u will end up just like me. I’m always suffering major headache and fast heartbeat when using so called “attractive broadband package”. The connection is unstable, slow and the connection frequently get disconnected. Not a good choice for a fellow gamers. Believe me the money you pay for Celcom Broadband is not worth it. Well
    it’s up to you to choose. I’m just giving you a advice……

  3. Yes,better dont subscribe this useless n expansive celcom broadband. i’m using rm68/month-384kbps almost a month but the speeeeed damn slow 2 ~ 60kbps!i already compliant many times but stil the same. i really..regret now n dont what to do? “slow to surf, hard to download.”

  9. Celcom broadband is unstable, speed is slow, and fustrating me a lot. i reget a lot….

  10. don’t use 3G or wireless broadband for heavy internetting. they have very small backbone link to be shared with all users active in a transmitter coverage area.

  11. aiyoh.. been there been here..

    1 celcom BB,

    4 u-mobile BB, http://www.u.com.my/umobile/page/PricePlan/SurfWithU/AboutSurfWithU

    which better? cheap also count.. i 1 1.. but I’ve read all feedback about them and still suk.. some say good, some say NO.. but maxis is out of my list.. totally suk man.. here’s the coverage range (just sharing) http://www.maxis.com.my/3G/Coverage.htm

  12. haha

    I’ve been using Celcom bb for 3 days using my w910i
    First day sux
    second day seem the suxness is wiped away a little
    today it’s good enuff
    i register for the rm 98 package but didn’t get the hsdpa signal here
    but got the 3g signal only.
    at 3 bars signal i can download 30 mb in about 10 minute
    using download accelerator get average about 100 kbps mostly higher
    just now download from youtube at 40 kbps
    and on that 2nd day i download about 600 mb of files
    playing online game today got some lag sometimes but nothing serious.good enuff for me.never got disconnected
    thinking about downgrade to rm68 package.no hsdpa here
    well it’s acceptable for me but i dont get hsdpa signal here that sux
    oh and 1 more thing u can do something to make ur connection go faster and more stable but i’m not gonna tell…haha
    haha

    i giv it a 7.5 out of 10 for celcom bb

  13. i take back what i just said earlier
    the service s**ks…

    cannot connect for more than 12 hours now. can connect through gprs sometimes but very unlikely like 1/15 chance most of the time i can’t. the signal are 3g and got full bar signal every time…

    don’t know if they capped or block my connection or what.i suppose i’ve downloaded more than 5 gb since i’ve been using the service

    there are no hsdpa signal whatsoever, and as a matter of fact my area are actually claimed to be covered by hsdpa connection. i lookup the celcom websites for that. even at the town centre no signal for hsdpa shows up in my phone. when i switch to my maxis phoneline the hsdpa signal are almost everywhere around my area.

    to anyone who worked for celcom…the technician..the policy makers…the marketers all of u are those people who are ******* d*mned

    celcom is just a name used for disguise by a corporation saying & claiming they provide communication & telecommunication service to their customer…

    but what they actually do and are really good at is stealing people’s money

    and still cannot open google right now

    what am i paying for????

  14. yeahh… :evil: , i agree with gualipan, i got s**k services too… very dispointed.. i got under 1kbps everyday… pay for nothing… when the technician came to my are to test… the connection excellent, but then he going back, d*mm it happened again… Maybe in 1 day just 1/2hour have better surfing, other just page with error connection, connection interrupt so Rm68 for 15hour usage per month,… so expensive…

  15. all they have said are right… the connection is so slow that i can’t view some website although sometime it seems to be fast, but don’t foolish enough to think that you will reach >200kbps!

  16. dun buy MAXSHIT! u sure will regret! the first few months is ok but then after half an year it become super super slow! sumtimes cant browse at all even though it is connected! after the contract matured i will switch to oth..

  17. OMG…. like that
    Maxis can not use..
    Celcom not good…
    then how to surf net/play online game/download???

  18. The Celcom service suck suck suck… don’t ever ever subscribe for that.. They are just a money sucker… Other than that nothing is good about it.

    The customer service is suck… file a complaint take them 2-7 days to reply. call to their customer service charges (rm1/min) is much much higher than handphone to handphone.. the customer service is suck till don’t have any knowledge.

  19. Was so interested to get this Celcom broadband but like all adverts.. inda kabar dari rupa i took th 3.6 mbps package and all i get is less than 50 kpbs.. fair or not? and line is always dropping . on and off .. damn inconvenient..i called he celcom customer care line.. wa lau weh they ask me to trouble shoot tell me my area maybe have poor coverage..

    how to speed up? damn angry with all this broadband … lucky if i can go online for 3 days in a row .. .. its like choc fudge now its there now its gone…

  20. ooo and i never can connect to any website if line is not hspda…

  21. INi broadband slow macam pukimak. Aku dah ada rumah nanti aku daftar streamyx. Pukimak celcom ada block lepas 5GB. BABI.

    baek gune streamyx!!!

    laen kali iklan or promote bg r tau BETOL2….

    -cipok broadband (celcom)-

  27. yes.. me also got sms from 25222 regarding the reduce of speed after reach 5gb.

    but, in time i purchaces this “unlimited broadband”, they never inform me anything about this things.

    means, there is no such “unlimited”… when they want to limit the speed.

  28. yearghh..this sialcom limited with quota gives me headache again-frequent dc,with their unfairly usage quota and this time hidden charges-im sialcom bb loyal customer-pay the the bill on time until i decided to subscribe for my second account-i wish i hadn’t done that now i have to take a couple of pills just to make me sleep better…arrrghhh!!!

  29. http://www.celcom.com.my/cep/xresources/CelcomCORP/broadband/html/basic_tnc.html

    masa daftar tak ada beritahu pun..
    takkanlah semua pengguna perlu tanya adakah limitasi penggunaan?
    sedangkan di iklan dah beritahu unlimited service.. :mad:

  30. Well I’m celcom victim since 2 months ago. I subscribe to 3.6mbps package. First week damn fast. After the first week teaser it began to run at 0.2kbps ~ 5kbps even until today. Totally unbelievable. Can you imagine that speed!?? It took me minutes to load a complete yahoo homepage. Concerning the 5GB limit…even 1GB will be a challenge with such speed! Forget about youtube. If you think of celcom go for dial-up. way way faster. I’m gonna terminate end of the month. Mind you!

  31. i’ve been using it for almost a year now..mula2 x de msalah, tp eventually dpat bout the 5gb limit. nk tnye, after the limit, brape lame die nk limit the speed ek?juz for the month ke mmg permanent?satu lagi, modem celcom nih a bit too sensitive, klu gerak sket je dh trdc..bengang…

    :sad:

  36. sorry i’m new (use any of all product) here…..

    rumah saya tak ada line rumah… abih line mane yang ok nak surf internet. ni yang seram nak amik celcom broadband.. baru rasa teruja dengan promosi…..

    :neutral: :sad: :cry:

  37. Dammit! The worst broadband ever. Waste of my RM98!! First day was good, 1.8Mbps, but just when i thought that i have made the best choice, it started to get disconnected frequently, i can’t imagine those who live outside the town. Last time i have confirmed with their staff and they told me that i will get the best speed and benefit of 3.5G since my house is located right under their signal generator. And yet my average speed is 20-200kbp! Stupid broadband! Very-very unstable! The only time i found it can get back to around 1.5Mbps is in the morning, like between 5-6am, i’m guessing gamers sleep at 4am and nobody bothers to use internet that early. So far i have used only about 200Mb. But this is my 6th day! I have to cancel it tomorrow but the it is so tedious as i need to go to their Celcom Centre. Blue cubes or blue jerk are useless. You can’t terminate your broadband there. One thing for sure now is i felt that my old rm66 digi is far better that this. Though the speed is like turtle (356kbps plan), but i still get around 200kbps in average. And best is it never get disconnected! Stupid celcom! Actually, i kinda understand the system, this is wireless and we all sharing this, thus either Celcom can increase their signal strength (or data speed..which ever) or i can simply tell all my neighbours to stop using celcom so i can enjoy it by myself. But i love my neighbours…ahh Celcom, please improve this and we all can live happily ever after. Please before i change to digi new 3G broadband!

  38. liana..klu kt rmh ade coverage 3g..bley try maxis…or lebih stabil digi..tp coverage digi x mluas lg…btw@all celcom da start bwt limit skang..bermula bln klmarin..user prepaid pn da terasa sakitnye…dlu klu 3.5g cn get 150+kbps dld speed..now 50-kbps..wat a poor….let broke the hole

  39. Sebenarnya celcom BB ni not bad, kena tengok tempat juga. Di Taiping boleh dapat constant 3 bar HDSPA sometimes 4 bar. Rapidshare dan Megaupload free tak boleh download sebab guna dinamik IP, premium account untuk rapid boleh dapat constant 400 kb/s, pernah juga dapat hingga 800 kb/s. Masalahnya ialah 5 G limit yang buatkan semua di atas tidak berguna juga. Selepas 1 minggu download habis 5 G clear. Lepas itu baru nampak keburukan celcom BB ni, file download speed akan jatuh sehingga ke paras 10 kb/s. So fikir dulu sebelum nak guna celcom ni. Kaki download baik ambil streamyx. Celcom BB cuba sesuai untuk kaki surf and minimum download sahaja.

  40. Bagi saya dulu saya pakai streamyx sewa nya Rm68 sebulan tetapi selalu tidak dapat lain, dalam satu bulan bagus lah kalau ada line dalam 10 kali dlm sebulan. skrg saya pakai celcom tiada masaalah tempat saya full line gprs tapi ada lambat sekit lah tapi macam mana pun saya sokong celcom kerena memperkenalkan sewa dengan murah dan mudah dapat line TQ

  41. Celcom also got problem playing online games, cannot connect to game ranger because behind nat, sialcom mmg sialcom !

  42. dulu aku ambik celcom broadband mula2 tu ok take masalah tp sebulan pastu servis die jadik cam taik. aku ingatkan it will get better la. tp tak de perubahan langsung. aku pakai 5 bulan je terus terminate. buat sakit ati je. aku nasihatkan sape yg nak ambik broadband celcom ni baik tak usahle. celcom memamg teruk THE SERVICE SUCKS LIKE CHIKEN SHIT. :!:

  43. I think the wireless bb or any 3g wifi tech in Malaysia still sucks… coz wut I’m reading here is complain P1W1max sux, Celcom bb sux, Umobile don’t mention coz not the top 3 list on telco company, Maxis sure sux, Digi??? still sux wut i’ve heard from my fren…. so the conclusion even though u used any wireless bb still cannot challenge the CISCO networks or CISCO tech. But i think who used wireless bb don’t even think using high capacity of bandwidth… streamyx also have a prob using copper cable WTH… other country is using fiber optic man…. so still slow network if the certain area using high bandwidth… so if wanna best performance network do ur own serverla see how… but they need to improve more otherwise low the rate of billing like celcom bb should charge RM30 jerla no need RM68 that one like curi user money… why must RM68 for 384kbps and RM98 for 3.6mb even though their same range!!!

  44. but I has a solution please visit this site n try it :
    http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/980541

  45. try celcom prepaid. Starter pack hitam. Setakat ni tiada limit untuk 5 gig. Aku dah terminate postpaid. kalau slow jugak kau tukar aje sim kad baru

  46. I am using celcom prepaid. Always got the error message “Service is not available at the moment. Please try again later. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
    If problem persists, contact your operator. ”

    So good luck to the user who wish to try it.

  47. macam mana nak tahu line bb celcom tu guna line 3g or gprs??

  48. celcom REALLY is p.o.s! last time they said tat stupid 1+3’s plan is f free fo everything. the promoted, they highlighted and even made a big announcement eveverywhere, in tvs, radios internets etc. they told they whole world tat everything is FREE.
    but, las week, my supplementary line got tis stupid msg sayin tat we’v already used the 90% limits of the so called ‘unlimited and free’ call. so, i called the celcom cervis. OMG, the operator who attended my call was so sarcastic!! and dengan slambernya she said, ‘yea, we’ve alrealy set the limit, 20 hours per month and 1500s sms. after u reach the limits, then youll be charge at the normal rate’. then i asked her, why didnt we be inform about this, and AGAIN, sarcasticaly she said, ‘ade, nanti diorang hantar sms ke bagitau dalam bil ke’ MF.
    see? when its free, they spread it like the wildfire. when they CHARGE, they just keep it silent.buduh punya celcom.
    same goes to the bb la..for the first 5 months buy it, sooooooooooooooooooooooooo many damn problem. error connection lah, unstable lah. the worst thing is ‘ you have to register before you use this bb’ kentot! i paid fkg 400rm fo d starter pack, and 98 fo every month to get this a**h*** maa!
    not really blame the “line” lah.. but this Celcom is damn large huge titanic and BIG s* lah. penipu.
    i pray tat every celcom company and building will get into fire. bia rentung semua, dengan staff2 dia yang bengong tu.

  49. Aku guna Maxis 3G bb mula slow sebab coverage kat kaw rumah aku tak clear…aku adu kat SKMM…lepas tu dah ok…..jadi lain pulak…masa beli ari tu x bagi tau ada limited download…tiba-tiba line aku jau slow giler….aku call coustermer service dia bagitau aku punye line dah over the limit (4G) dan sekarang boleh guna macam guna dial up je…….kentut bentullah…dulu x citer dah guna 5 bulan jadi lain pulak….aku harap kita ramai-ramai mengadu kat SKMM yang sume sykt ISP ni pembohong….., penipu……., perompak……..dan paling penting tak pernah bagi info yg tepat masa promosi………..macamana kalau nak mengadu ini :
