Edit: Celcom Broadband 3.6Mbps package is now RM98 monthly. Really cheap, isn’t it?
I just subscribed Celcom broadband last week and that is why you can see that my site has regain it’s health. Because my hostel does not get wireless coverage so I decided to subscribe Celcom broadband so I can get connected to the Internet anywhere I want as long as the area got the network coverage.
Celcom broadband uses 3G network to connect to the Internet. If the area does not have 3G network, don’t worry, you are still be able to connect to the Internet but the speed is slower than you are in the 3G area.
If you subscribe the RM68 package, you will get limited speed which is 384kbps only. But if you have more money to spend for each month, you can subscribe the RM120 package and you will get up to 3.6Mbps speed. But take note, you only will get the speed if you are in the HSDPA area. I’m not sure which area got the HSDPA network because Celcom does not put the covered map on their website. So I don’t have any clue whether my place is in the HSDPA area.
HSDPA is stands for High-Speed Downlink Packet Access which is it is a new protocol in mobile telecommunication. In simple word, we can call it as 3.5G. I don’t subscribe the RM120 package because it is expensive and I don’t think that I can afford it because I am still a student though. To pay RM120 just to use Internet is not reasonable. It is better if I use thr RM120 to eat KFC or go watching movies. :p
But there is another reason why I didn’t subscribe the RM120 package. If I subscribe the RM120 package and I live outside from the HSDPA area, it will be useless because I will only get around 700kbps. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Just want to let you know, Celcom broadband packages does not come with device/modem. If you subscribe Maxis broadband, you will get free modem even though you subscribe their RM68 package. But I heard many complaints from their customers saying that their service is not good and so do their customer support.
You can buy the device from Celcom but is expensive. I thought the modem is around RM200-RM400 but I was wrong. You can get a datacard with only RM399 but the datacard is only can be used on laptop. Unfortunately, I’m using desktop so I need to buy the USB modem which I need to pay about RM1100. RM1100 is not easy to get for a student. But thanks to my ex-boss, En Mizan the manager of Mercumaya, a web hosting provider company because he agreed to sell me the USB modem to me with installment and with cheaper price. :d
The USB modem can support up to 3.6Mbps but because I subscribe the RM68 package, so I only can get 384kbps, maximum speed. But sometimes the speed is even slower compare with dial-up. Sometimes I get around 50kbps to 80kbps which is a little bit faster than dial-up but I paid RM68 monthly so I must get the top speed as possible. I hope Celcom can improve their services so all Malaysian will use their services.
If you don’t know which package that you want to subscribe, it is better to consult with their customer service. But if you want to go for Maxis, think twice. 😉 Because I still recommended you to choose Celcom broadband.
ps: If you have 3G handphone, you can use it as modem and connect it to your PC. From that, you can surf the Internet but the speed is slower, around 170kbps.
hurm…aku baru jer subscribe maxis wireless broadband… kalau tempat dapat coverage 3g(3.6 mbps) okey laju..tapi yang paling hampeh kalau coverage x der..
so bagi aku terpulang kat korang nak amik aper, either maxis o celcom o digi.. tiga-3 same jer…
Malaysia Belum cukup maju(kurang coverage) lagi dalam teknologi internet networking kot….
ni penilaian aku :
maxis :
good-speed bagus(3G), dapt modm, coverage 3G lebih dari
Bad- Fee mahal Tul( x berbalaoi dengan pengunaanya, coverage aku x puas ati!!!
Celcome :
good-Speed bagus (3G), fee dier berbaloi(murah siket)
Bad-Modem kena beli lain(mahal Plak tu),
Digi : aku x survey sgt pasal digi coz dier x der 3G..hehehehe
good- fee memang murah, tapi org kata edge(digi) coverage luas
Bad- Speed slow..huhuhu
aku suggest maxis…(^^,)
aku ade nampak org jual datacard reader, tapi die jual ngan datacard skali r, try r usha kat ner ade jual datacard reader je…
apa beza datacard reader ngan datacard je?aku dlm perancangan nk subcribe celcom.aku nk beli datacard..so cemana?org tu suggest jgn amik vodafon pasal speed slow.ekceli ada beza ke speed ikut datacard?anyone help me
dari beli beli modem 3G harga 900 – 1000 baik beli henpon yang ada modem 3G contohnya nokia 5700 (rega 850) dan guna ia sebagai modem utk laptop kita. sambung pakai usb cable la..
betul tak idea aku ni?
Dah 1 week I langgan CELCOM BB (3.6 MBPS package). Modem USB HUAWEI. I m syating in Penang around USM. Area sini HSDPA. So far speed tak lah seperti yg di harapkan. Kalau kita imagine 3.6 hmmm hebat tapi on reality jarang sungguh I dapat 2.0 MBPS. The average speed is still acceptable. Celcom BB is a good alternative to Streamyx. At the moment if you want to subscribe go for the 68.00 package. 3.6 MBPS is just a fantasy or a dream that sometime comes true. The positive part, I can be connected any time any place. Last week I travelled from Penang to Johor, my daughter drove the car. I kat belakang surf the net. I also guna ICS and set up wifi network dlm kereta and my son can also connect. I guna power supply (12V to 220V) plugin kat cigarette lighter (cost me 80.00).
aku jual datacard tuk celcom …
price = rm 650 (NEGO)
#wan – Datacard digunakan untuk laptop. Yang USB modem dan yang seangkatan dengannya digunakan dekat PC.
#fise – Yup. Lebih baik beli handphone dari datacard/usb modem. Tetapi, handphone kene caj bateri dan sebagainya. Kalau gune device die yang sebetul2nya, lagi jimat.
#wan – datacard reader?ke card reader?aku rasa yang ohm maksudkan tu HSDPA router.tak pun datacard adapter untuk pc.means dat pc pun bleh jugak pakai datacard untuk laptop tu.cuma kena ada adapter.kat lowyat harga dia dalam rm100.kalau HSDPA router tu mcm router biasa.bezanya ada slot untuk datacard.tapi router ni memna mahal.paling murah pun dalam rm500 kat lowyat brand D-Link. kalau nak beli datacard/modem/router try usha web ni http://www.3gcard.myceloteh.com.
haah, vodafone tu slow.setiap datacard ada bezanya, ada yang cuma support 3G, ada yang boleh support HSDPA, ada yang boleh support sampai 7.2Mbps. EDGE ngan GPRS pun ada. most of datacards support backward compatibility. means kalau bleh guna 3G mesti bleh guna utk GPRS ngan EDGE jugak.
seelok2 nya check dulu coverage utk 3Gat ur area.contact telcos.tak pun dload free mobile software utk detect 3G strength.www.myceloteh.com.
#fise – haah.bagus cadangan tu.nak pakai handphone pun orait gak.tapi kena pandai pilih la.ada setengah hp yg cepat panas bila jadi modem.n of course mcm cypherhackz ckp, kena charge battery slalu.depend la whether nak pakai selalu ke pakai kadang2.
#brain_trust – datacard yang ko jual tu brand ape?USB ke?
yg rm650 tu datacard PCMCIA, brand Sierra Wireless Aircard 875 .. untuk laptop .. skang aku pun guna yg ni gk, tp aku pakai kat pc .. kalau nk pakai kt PC, kena beli PCMCIA card la …
datacard ni, kalau x silap aku, kt lowyat rm7XX, aku baru tny 2 ari lepas ..
oo..betul la tu.kawan aku pun pakai yang tu gak skang.antenna die memang power.6 bulan dulu masa die beli pun dapat rm650.sape2 yang ada laptop lama aku recommend beli datacard brand sierra ni.siap ada voice enabled.
aku pakai laptop baru,so kena pakai slot expresscard atau usb.kat lowyat memang rm1k lebih.mahal..sebab tu aku beli kat mamat sorang ni http://www.3gcard.myceloteh.com sierra aircard yang usb nye.rm850 je.6 bulan warranty dia pun bagus.rosak je,tukar baru.x yah repair2.boleh cucuk kat pc or laptop, xkira lapto baru atau lama.nama pun usb.
aku dah try nk enable voice, tp x boleh, x tau la ape problem dia..
datacard ni pun, leh upgrade .. cuba usha kt sini http://www.3gcard.myceloteh.com/ ..
yeke?ko tanya la ghufran kat http://www.3gcard.myceloteh.com tu..die bleh tolong setup datacard ko tu.member aku bleh je voice enabled.siap bleh borak ngan abang die kat uk lagi.
makcik nak tanya
makcik pakai celcom broadband (RM 68) ngan datacard cingular 3G option GT max 7.2 ready.Masalah makcik line selalu sgt tergendala.Makcik kena bukak datacard dan slotkan balik kalau nk dptkan line.Apsal ek?ada sesapa yg bermasalah mcm makcik?makcik punya datacard ke yg bermasalah atau line?sebab everytime jadi macam tu,kena kuarkan datacard and masukkan balik.Makcik dok kat skudai.
Erm…maybe makcik tak setting betul2 kot datacard tu. Takkan la sampai jenuh macam tu sekali. Kesian kat makcik.
betul jugak cakap CypherHackz tu..takkan sampai camtu skali makcik.option tu dah la bleh tahan harga dia.cam x berbaloi plak.makcik pakai driver software ape?saya cadangkan pakai GlobeTrotter Connect.3G Watcher x sesuai..
lagi satu,celcom ngan maxis ni,kalau kita nye internet connection idle (kalau biar dload tu bukan idle) untuk 20 minit,diorang akan disconnect line.sebab nak maintain bandwidth.so,kena reconnect la balik.kalau tak nak jadi camtu,makcik bleh set laptop bagi internet connection tu active slalu.
klik start button,klik run,then type ni
ping google.com -t
nak tukar yahoo ke,cypherhackz ke,ikut suka la.
Makcik dah setting semula datacard makcik.(Install dan set semula) tapi masih jadi benda yang sama.Mcm yang acap kata,makcik memang guna GlobeTrotter.So rasa2nya sebab datacard ke?Datacard makcik ni :-
Biru – HSDPA/
Merah – EDGE/GPRS
Jingga/Jambu – No network or line stuck
Bila tiba2 line stuck,kuar warna jingga manjang.So terpaksa bukak datacard dan slotkan balik.Aiseeeeeeeeeyyyyy kenapa ni?
saya pernah test option gt max tu.cuba makcik reinstall balik GlobeTrotter.ada lagi kan driver tu?makcik pakai OS apa?saya pernah test kat vista tapi cam bengong sket.cam makcik punya jugak la.saya rasa makcik dah set preference UMTS only kan?kalau lepas reinstall jugak still macam tu,cuba makcik try kat laptop lain.kalau still macam tu jugak,datacard makcik tu memang ada problem.da abes warranty belum?
Makcik pakai XP.Makcik tak berapa faham UMTS tu apa.Nak setup tu mcm takder preference apa pun.Terus masuk.So makcik tak berapa faham mcm mana tu.Thanks beri respon
bila makcik bukak GlobeTrotter tu,ada Show settings kan?klik kat situ,nanti kuar technology preference.klik UMTS only.pastu try connect.kalau slow jugak,makcik bleh gi kat http://www.myceloteh.com and try software yang sesuai.kat web tu ada banyak driver untuk option gt max ni.sorry lambat reply.semalam celcom high latency.pagi ni baru bleh online balik.
u sure the price only sell rm400?if u register with corparate rate is rm699.if not normal selling price is rm899.
nak tanye.. usb modem untuk bb ni herge sibu lebey kan.. ade ke yg jual byr ansuran? agak celcom xde jual ke untuk ansuran? aku cant afford la.. maklumle student.. kalau mxis plak, mmg die ade bg kan skali upon regstration, tp bile aku baca sume ni, ramai yg rekemen pkai clcom bb.. adehai .. skang ni pktikal kat senai, sblm ni aku pakai streamyx kat uma sewa.. ni praktikal 3 bulan je, so the best option bb ni la.. aku ni dah le xleh idup tanpa tenet.. u noe wat, ari2 time keje mmg opis ni pkai wireless, tp bile balik? aduhai.. tepaksa tetiap mlm aku duk dam kete depan opis..(sebaik la uma sewa ni sekangkang kera dr opis)..
sekian saja masalah dr malim..
#lerry – Yup. I am sure the price is RM400. But right now the price might be lower.
#malim kundang – Aah. Harga dia RM1000 masa saya beli device tu. Sekiranya awak nak beli, awak cuba pergi ke website http://www.3gcard.myceloteh.com/ yang diuruskan oleh saudara acap.
#CypherHackz – thanks for compliment but the web is not mine actually.en.ghufran yang punya.still,i’ll gladly help others sekadar yg termampu..=)
#malim kundang – skarang harga sierra usb modem kat http://www.3gcard.myceloteh.com rm850.tapi still boleh negotiate ngan encik ghufran tu sebab awak student kan.bayar ansuran tu memang xde orang buat.cuma celcom yang boleh buat cmtu.tapi sure ke ada coverage kat senai?try dload coverage map celcom kat http://www.myceloteh.com n check ada x coverage 3g kat senai tu.
Ehem2 http://myceloteh.com tuh saya punyer,saudara acap tuh my customer dan sebagai moderator kat forum saya http://myceloteh.com/3gforum .Kalau nak bertanya apa soalan pasal 3G,atau pun Celcom Broadband leh usha kat saner.
erm..thanks pasal post pasal ni..memang ngah mencari..aku sedang dalam proses nak register Celcom boradband ni..aku tanya di kaunter Celcom tu..kalau area tu tak dapat 3G..secara automatik akan pakai line GPRS..rasanya pasal itu la kot connection jadi slow..
cuma rasanya nak dapat full speed untuk 384kbps tu hanya tempat-tempat tertentu..sebagai contoh aku ade tgk die letak kat bangunan-bangunan tertentu yang ade tulis “3G broadband HERE”
aku ngah mencari datacard untuk laptop aku tu..skang ni yang paling murah aku dapat kat Ebay Malaysia..harganya RM229 plus shipping Rm239..yang vodafone punya tu..ko rasa macam mana?ok tak?aku ade post kat blog aku pasal ni http://ipohmali.blogmas.com
#Ghufran – Erks! Hu3. Sorry2.
#reezluv – Untuk dapat topspeed 384kbps (guna 3G) tu, ia hanya boleh dicapai bile berada dekat area HSDPA network (3.5G). Dan yang mana subscribe package D98 tu, dorang hanya dapat 3.6Mbps (3.5G) bile ada technology 4G pulak. Hu3.
4G yg iZZi broadband promote tu bukan la 4G yg sebenar.iZZi broadband cuma offer 1Mbps data rate on best effort.R&D masih dibuat untuk mencari best candidate to be 4G technology.expected date of 4G release is around September 2008.paling lmbt pn 2009.dengan 4G,data rate will be around 100Mbps,insyallah.
#CypherHackz – takyah sori2 kat Ghufran tuh.Datang blog orang promote blog dia plak.haha..
#reezluv – datacard yg kat ebay tu kira murah gak la harga dia.tapi laptop ko ada PCMCIA tak?lagi satu,datacard vodafone yg ko tunjuk tu cuma sampai 3g je.x bleh guna utk HSDPA.unless ko memang nak guna takat 3g je,aku cadangkan ko cari sierra HSDPA la..
salam all
aku nk tw la kn..
ak bru je ambik pakej rm68 2 dr celcom..
ak mintak la dia setting ak puny notebook
dia setting dr 401kbps ke 921kbps
cam ne 2…..btul ke 921.6kbps 2
tp nmpk slow je….
leh caya ke
ak guna sony k810i sbgai modem
leh tlng x kompius ni…..
gme – wsalam..ko dah check data rate kat speedtest.net?nanti post la kat kitorang result dia.aku pun tak bleh cakap laju ke x.tapi kalau pakai handphone memang slow,sebab data rate capacity untuk handphone memang kecik.kalau ko nak dload banyak,elok pakai modem.gi http://www.myceloteh.com harga2 3g datacard dah update!
aku pakai package rm99..ok la aku rasa… aku pakai huawei e220 tapi aku upgrade jd 7.2mb.. kat tempat aku dapat hsdpa..
tapi kalu aku donlod pun dapatla 100-200kb/s diorang cakap kalau kat hsdpa leh dapat sampai 3.6mb kalu donlod dapat sampai 700kb/s… mcmne tu? tak pahamla aku…tapi aku berjaya sekali sumur hidup dapat 1mb/s masa donlod… leh korang bgtau aku mcmne nak setting modem ni?
ko pakai celcom hsdpa ke curry?skarang ni..sape yg pakai celcom 3g kat tempat yg ada celcom hsdpa,boleh dapat lebih dari 384kbps.kadang2 sampai 700kbps pun boleh.tapi tak lebih dari 1Mbps.unfair la kat sape2 yg subscribe hsdpa kan?tapi..privilege ni dikatakan sampai hujung march je.lepas tu celcom akan limit balik bandwidth kita ke 384kbps.
Just for your info:
Vodafone Huawei E220-R HSDPA / 3G USB Modem 7.2Mbps = RM650 – RM700 [ref: http://www.ebay.com.my]
memang unfair la. tapi macam skang ni saya gune pakej 3.6Mbps. maximum speed penah dapat 1.1Mbps. dulu saya ada buat report pasal celcom broadband di area saya. then dorang pun datang speedtest kat blok saya. yang dorang dapat adalah 1.2Mbps. saya pun pelik, kenapa la dorang buat promotion cakap 3.6Mbps kalau dah memang takkan dapat 3.6Mbps tu.
haha..relax cypherhackz.. 3.6Mbps tu dah macam general speed. biase la.. name pun “on best effort”. kira kalau x dpt 3.6 tu, celcom ngn maxis ni keja ala kadar je la kan? kat mane2 tempat kat dunia ni kalau pakai hsdpa pun takat 3.6Mbps je.. ko duduk mane eh? ko pakai sierra ke cypherhackz?
aku student lagi. belajar kat utm skudai. kat sini dapat hsdpa network. gune modem huawei. yang celcom ni pun satu, dah tahu line tu slow, upgrade la device. ni mase dorang call haritu pun dorang cakap, yang dorang gune shared line. takkan la duit banyak dapat tapi takde duit nak upgrade hardware.
laa..guna shared line ke..ala..diorang ni memang pemalas.semua suruh kita upgrade sendiri firmware..
kalau yang huawei kita boleh upgrade gak ke dia punye firmware?
boleh upgrade..takde hal..gi myceloteh.com n tanya admin.en.ghufran tu tau cemane nak upgrade.
nak tanya.. macam mana kalau kita guna huewei yang pakage celcom rm 68 , kita letak kat laptop. then cam mana nak jadi kan laptop kita tu router kepada laptop laptop lain boleh ker?
nak tanya.. macam mana kalau kita guna huewei yang pakage celcom rm 68 , kita letak kat laptop. then cam mana nak jadi kan laptop kita tu router kepada laptop laptop lain boleh ker??
Apa yang saya tahu, kita kene guna router jugak. Tak boleh jadikan huawei modem tu sebagai router.
ada 2 cara kalau nak guna omaQ:
1.guna switch hub biasa. connect laptop2 guna LAN cable. lebih murah tapi x wireless and x portable.
2.guna wireless router. boleh connect guna LAN cable atau wireless network. beza router ngan hub biasa ialah router bleh assign IP address utk setiap laptop/pc. kira lagi bagus la. lebih mahal tapi wireless and portable.
mcm aku, aku guna hub biasa je sebab aku student, bukan bapak orang. 🙂
lupe plak. tapi kalau guna hub biasa, laptop yg ada modem tu kena jadi server 24 jam. kalau laptop tu off, tak bleh la nak share internet. kalau guna router, router tu je yg kena on setiap masa. tapi kalau takat nak share 2 orang, ko pakai LAN cable sambung 2 laptop tu je sudey.. 😛
tq atas maklumat tersebut.. tq so much!!
