Celcom 3G Speed Report

[eddychew]

:lol: ok....even finally somehow..Celcom 3G datacard coverage at my working place also can get max384kpbs...it no joke...

oh, i am staying in Taman Dato Senu,surfing inside my room...not near window but middle of the room where i can get the aircon blowing at me...hehehe

My office where i work is near to international school or computer form company..Setapak
Try to download from www.download.com.

One thing though,the speed do fluctuate...but once u do CoolStreaming which i did for my yesterday EPSN game between Chealsea vs Arsenal....u can see maxxxx DL at 384kps...but still laggy..
For internet streaming...best stick to 512kbpss or 1MBkbps...cheaper lagi..

Celcom 3G datacard more for mobility almost anywhere in klang valley...no need WIFI...or sitting near starbuck...etc.
and importantly...Celcom have much much much better coverage compared to Maxis 3G datacard..

Oh ya,we can even do voice call thru Celcom 3G datacard....Maxis 3G datacard cannot....

but connecting using normal phone is the better choice right?
no need to buy expensive data card.
i think having both 3g phone and data card are redundant and waste of money.

Try telling it to the Korean and Japanese.....now they on 4G..
Man,this is the future!!!!!
I don't think that 3G phone or DataCard is a waste of money.

If U are willingly to get stuck at normal phone surfing at 56k modem max...by all mean go ahead...but don't complain...why so slow...etc...

Hehehehe Hey...same SOP
Although DataCard expensive....but in long run it is worth coz it save the hassle of looking for telephone line and surf from same spot unless of course it a long telephone wire.
For now,even we got wireless connection....like (Streamyx wireless) at home,we are worried about people sharing bandwidth unless of course we have some form of login security.....

Unless of course WifiMax is coming to town....

In the 1st place,i did never even mentioned i am having a 3G phone...only 3G DataCard.......(i don't even have a 3G phone,only 3G DataCard)
The only part that i say is that the 3G DataCard can make call while surfing at the same time.
Don't quote my message if u are talking different thing or opinion!!!!

Infact bill never came, I had to walk into the Stupid Celcom Centre and pay them, then i paid them 300 dollar as Roaming Deposit.

All in all, stupid celcom deserve to be cancelled and banned.

I will never go back to celcom again. Tomorrow will wait at their doorstep and close them forever.
