This is what I get for my Celcom wireless broadband RM98 package per month. It is even worse than the dial-up that I used to have!

Celcom wireless broadband - Poor service…slow…halted…wasting money…

I am really disappointed with the Celcom wireless broadband service that I subscribed since last year. It is slow, slow and slow. I paid for the RM9x package, which is supposed to be the faster service at higher price. I opt for this so called “faster package” so that there will be no excuse when the speed is slow.

No excuse? The service has brought me a lot of frustration.

In you are in a big city, then you will NOT want to have this wireless broadband service. Streamyx on the other hand although is slow…but when compared to Celcom wireless broadband, Streamyx is like light years ahead!

I have enjoyed the luxury of wireless service by using the Celcom wireless broadband that I have when I was in Sabah, PWTC…etc., where wireless service is hard to get. Although speed is slow, but still it is better than not able to go online.

In the last few days…or weeks, I seldom use the Celcom due to the very slow speed and most of the time it won’t send or receive any data at all. It just makes me frustrated with the monthly RM9x fee that I have to pay, but not getting the service right. This is really a rip off, and cheating consumers money.

Disappointed with the Celcom wireless broadband.

Going wireless - 3G - HSDPA 3.6MBs Celcom!

Yeah…I have went wireless today. Just subscribed to a Celcom 3G broadband plan of HSDPA package, costs RM99.00 per month and bought a USB modem at RM499.00 with one year contract with Celcom 3G.

There is a cheaper package of RM69.00 per month with 384kbs speed, which I have seriously considered. There is no comparison for me to try the 3.6MBs package with this 384kbs package, so I have to make a decision on the spot. With the one year contract, I must make the correct decision as there is no way for me to upgrade later if the 384kbs package is too slow for my usage. With RM30 difference monthly, or RM1.00 extra per day…I decided to go for the 3.6KBs package, as I do not want to regret later and got stuck one year with snail internet connection.

In Japan, I was using 4MBs package, the cheapest package, which has served me very well!

If one do not want to bond with the one year contract, then he/she can buy the USB modem at RM699.00, which is RM200 extra. Since there is either Maxis or Celcom in the market for me to choose, clearly I am going to use either one for the next one year…so no point for me to pay the extra RM200 for the modem just because of the contract. I have heard bad stories about Maxis, my friend recommended me Celcom, so I decided to give it a try. Not that I have many choices anyway…

My wireless 3G not yet functioning…just registered few hours ago…shall get activated tonight or tomorrow, then I will be able to test the speed, hopefully not too bad.
