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. š 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.
I want to ask something…Is there any different between MB and Mbps???? plse answer……………
beza sikit je, MB stands for megabytes Mbps stands for megabytes per second.
i using celcom now at johor,even got 3G but the speed also like shit,same as turtle.complain to celcom also no use.
yes…you’re absolutely correct bro….i cannot do any job assig. This celcom is liar. ask them to use GPRS la, we paid same price as 3G speed, but mostly i got GPRS of DISCONNECT by itself.

erm disini saya pengguna broadband basic RM68. masalah yang saya hadapi sekarang adalah, apabila saya nak sign in yahoo messenger, sering gagal untuk sign in dan kelluar ralat ā a problem in signing yahoo messengerā. tetapi apabila saya menggunakan maxis, senang jerk nak sign in dalam yahoo messeger.nk kte servey bz..main game on9 ok aja..huhu.. jadi saya nak tahu apa masalah sebenarnya ni?
Apa masalah sebenar? nk tau ker…ok, kita semua sudah kena tipu celcom la, saya satu bulan kira kurang dari 1 minggu saja boleh pakai, yg lain….disconnected or GPRS yg slow mcm siput sedut saja. x kisah ler area maner kan, dh tau area kurang signal, kurang jugak le harga, ni sama jer. confirm aku nk buang jer celcom nih kat laut.
hahaha HAHAH TU LAH.. GERAM I D BUAT NYE.. CELCOM MMG SHITT@!!!! LEMBAP MCM SIPUT VAVI@@!!
i baru je guna celcom broadband RM68(384kbps) package, i nak tanya ni.. if kita da guna 5gb so speed dia akan kurang ke 56kb ke? mcm dial up tmnet tu. oh yaa i guna usb modem HUAWEI E220 yang sebijik cam maxis punya.. i beli dkt forum lowyat aroung rm299 celcom n maxis pun bole guna modem ni. utk pengetahuan semua, i dok dkt bandar sri putra. quite good laa connection dia. i dapat UMTS (3g). tp satu jelah yg menjadi kemuyskilan i if i da sampai limit 5GB then what speed i akan dpt nnt and celcom akan ada tak charge if da terlebih limit. i ni da laa jenis kaki game online. i rasa dlm 3hari da 5gb i guna. susah laa kalau mcm ni š
anyone can explain more bout this :/
kesimpulan masalah kamu, buang jer celcom tu kat laut, ikan pun x nk guna tuh, confirmed. nk main game, pakai TM punya servis je la.
jika u dah sampai 5gb,celcom akan limit speed u ‘up to 384kbs’…kalau u masih lagi selalu download movie ke,apa2 ke,speed u akan jadi antara 50-100kbs…masa tu u nak load yahoo page tengok email pun tak boleh….itu yang tengah berlaku kepada i skrg…lol..stupid celcom!!!!
hahaha…tau xper…saya pun kena….dulu derang ckp x der limit kan ataupun derang x ckp langsung…pastu simpan limit 5GB la, nk tambah limit kena tambah $$$ plak,….x kisah ler kalau servis bgs, ni…..x yah ckp ler!!!pikir sendiri…..
Yup! I agree with you sunny lee. Celcom will cut your speed if you have exceeded 5GB limit download. It happens to me too. Even I cannot to open my Gmail.
celcom n maxis is same shit now,wonder there will be any other good provider for us in malaysia?….anyone care to tell me whether any of them really got ‘experince’ celcom speed of 3.6gb as advertise?….celcom is really bullshit to advertise speed ‘up to 3.6gb’…just to lie to all the decent malaysians tat is out there.Even if u stay beside celcom office u also cant get speed to 3.6gb…there is a forum at low yat say celcom broadband should change to celcom narrowband…lol…
Agreed wif you bro…….but they still got people money….lol….
do any of u know abt P1 ?….is a new service provider,i wanted to get the 2400kbs package,is priced for rm199 now…

nw celcom is more cunning n is using dirty tricks….if u complain to them again n again n again,they will make ur sim card ‘failed’,n then u cant connect unless u pay to replace a new card,me tis month oledi replace 2 times…celcom onwer is more worse than blood sucking dracula!!…
i had exceed 5GB. the speed is killin.. my area is Sibu…i run laptop 24 hour. still no change..in speed. i called celcom and came up answer with their stupid policy(bla bla)…my friend in Kuching had exceed usage but still can download a lot with high speed…!!!!what’s WRONG????
aku nak komen pasal broadband jenis huawei line celcom yang tau cari untung tapi menyusahkan orang buang masa menunggu depan latop sambungan macam line free yang aku gune sebelum ni masa promote cakap laju bila dah beli baru cakap nak berdekatan dengan tower so nak tanya kenkawan aku ditipu ker @ celcom yang menipu
Hahaha… Dats why I am thinking to move to other ISP like P1 Wimax.
Aku amik pakej RM98per months. Speed blh la memuaskan 3.6Mbps. Aku tak nak amik yg RM68 sbb speed lmbat. Mse beli tu (agent), die ckp unlimited. Bagus gak. Tp ble dh gune, bese la kdg2 trlebih gune. Yelah, klu xgne pn mmg trus connect je. Mls nk DC.And then, 1day ni,aku dpt message ni:
“A friendly reminder, your data usage is reaching the allocated 5GB/ mth (Celcom Broadband Policy). Pls reduce your usage to avoid having your speeds managed.”
Tak sampai sebulan,dh xleh gne lg broadband..Line ade,tp xleh connect.Kne block! tnggu la smpai bulan depan bru leh gune. Hampeh jer..Rupe2nye,ble check kat website Celcom, mmg pnggunaan pakej ni xblh melebihi 5GB/mth. menyirap aku!!! Aku kne tipu! ade spe2 tau x pakej broadband mne yg blh gne smpai ble2?xde had mcm pakej aku nih.
celcom and maxis are sucks.baik kau langgan streamyx lagi bagus.dia kata unlimitted tapi macam tahirt jer bukak youtube pun cam teran berak jer.nasib baik aku ni pelajar lagi kalau x boleh dapat penyakit jantung tau.kalau sape2 yang dah tua 2 janganlah langgan……akibatnye anda akan nyesal nanti.
shana,u blh ambil bisnes package dia,rm299 saja,lol…speednya ialah ‘up to 3.6mb’ dan unlimited usage,tapi u takkan dpt 3.6mb lah,jika mau u kena tinggal sebelah celcom punya tower lah,hahaha…jadi jika dia kasi u speed 1mb,dia pun takda tipu u,sebab tu pun dlm lingkungan ‘up to 3.6mb’…hahahaha…celcom memang kuat makan orang,tulang pun makan telan habis…lol..
Celcom berlagak pandai. Cakap bodoh nanti marah. Bila pulak aku ada beli game Celcom. Terminate kang..!
nw celcom is more cunning n is using dirty tricksā¦.if u complain to them again n again n again,they will make ur sim card āfailedā,n then u cant connect unless u pay to replace a new card,me tis month oledi replace 2 timesā¦celcom onwer is more worse than blood sucking dracula!!ā¦/(This happen to me each sim card u change Cost Rm5….. i wan to cancel it but have to pay penalty RM300++ WTF i really fedup with celcom connection already slow my plan is RM98 but only can get speed to 100 10 200 kbps if u lucky at first 2 month is was very good i was happy can get till 1.5mbps but now useless i tried compain still the same i seldom use internet when i study only i use it i nv even reach 5gb fedup wuth celcom use P1 if your area don’t have use stremix only even maxis abd digi not good P1 is value for your money even it expensive i don’t mind to pay for it if i get good service)
Note: Celcom Broadband for the package D68 has its own terms & conditions which are not mentioned whn we are about to purchase the package. Your internet speed will be managed if you used more than 5GB per month. Please take this as an inportant note. But seriusly, I don’t really suggest for you guys to use Celcom Broadband as its very useless. Try to purchase streamyx which are 1000 times better. I have been using celcom broadband about half a year and now Im going to move our wit streamyx. PLEASE NOTE ME! Or else you will regret!
nak bukak citer pasal pro rate…
yang saya faham pro rate tuh penggunaan kita yang tak cukup sebulan kan?
tapi masalahnya saya tak puas hati dengan celcom sebab charge prorate yang saya tak guna lagi masa tuh… masa tu sim card and modem tak dapat lagi sebab takde stok… tapi dia ambil kira dari start register…
register : 13/03/2009
dapat sim card + modem : 03/04/2009
prorate saya dicharge antara 13/3/09 -02/04/2009
padahal masa tuh saya tak guna pun…. Adil ke CELCOM buat camni…..
Lepas tuh saya enggan untuk bayar… dia bar pulak line…
memang HAMPEH tul CELCOM ni……!!!!!!!!
liza – macam mane plak bleh dapat lambat sim card n modem tu? beli kat dealer ke beli kt kdai celcom trus. kalau beli kt dealer, suh la dealer tu yg bayar pro rate tu. dah dia yg bagi lambat.
celcom broadband is the best suckerrrrrrrr

I think it is because of the area of your place is congested with Celcom subscribers. I had the same problem before. But after change to P1 Wimax, the problem solved.
I hv solution..
make ur celcom 3g connection into dial up..
Follow this..
Start -> Control Panel -> Network and Internet Connections -> Network Connections -> Create a new connection -> Next -> Connect to the internet -> Set up my connection manually – > Connect using a dial up modem -> ISP NAME (Example: Celcom 3G) -> for PHONE NUMBER key in *99# -> key in ur User Name(for PC acc), PWD(for PC acc) or leave it blank -> Klik Next. DONE.
For using the dialup connection just klik Dial.
Now u can using Yahoo Messenger
i forgot sumthing..
if u still cannot using yahoo messenger..
follow this..
b4 sign in ur yahoo messenger..
open Yahoo Messenger -> Messenger -> Connection Preferences ->Connect directly to the Internet -> Internet connection: High-speed(T1/LAN) -> OK
HAPPY CHATTING!!
Still got virus after connect the internet, reinstall windows xp2 again ,again and again, on 18th August got better. Still have the virus but level is lower. I think it most probably from latest java. Now, my window just have java 5 install from windows cd package.
Connectting it’s ok and in rate 100kb above.
So far so good.
CELCOM lie big time, penipu besar !
1. you cannot do file sharing becos you be sharing an IP with hundreds or thousands other users
2. the speed is like 5-10 kbps around KL
3. CELCOM is only beginning to upgrade their instrument
4. their customer service sucks. Full of morons
So now i think better just online wif p1wimax very consistent line. but not mobility so much.
