Celcom Broadband Review

Well this is the 5th day I’ve been using Celcom Broadband. So far so good. Though it would be a good idea to make some review about it.
I’ve registered with Celcom on monday at Celcom Tower. The registration process is quite simple and surprisingly I can get connected in the night of the registration day. Quite fast eh?
I go for D68 package and the monthly charged is RM68. Speed for D68 package is capped at 384kbps. It’s good enough for normal surf. If you want a better speed you can opt for D98 package though, RM98 monthly. D98 will enjoy speed up to 3.6mbps. :hehe:
I’m using Sierra Wireless Aircard 875U to get connected. You can get this usb modem around RM700-900. Try find it on lelong.com.my or lowyat.
This is how it looks when its been attached to my Dell Vostro.
About downloading speed, can’t say much about it. But here’s one tip you should follow, try to download everything using Flashget and Flashgot (Firefox add-on) or any download manager to get the highest speed possible.
Mostly you can get download speed around 15-35kb when downloading from international server.
I’m taking this screenshot while downloading Adobe Photoshop update using Flashget from Adobe server.
Here’s another couple speed test from local server.
Measure the download speed using Speedtest.net For your information this test has been taken from Seksyen 7, Shah Alam. I’m at my brother house. I’ll try and put the result from Setapak when I get back to hostel. :)
This is the result from Cyberjaya server
and this is from Kuala Lumpur server
I didn’t put Torrent download speed though. Cause its always fluctuate and it depends 100% on peers location. If you can get connected to local peers your download speed should be okay and if you not, the speed would be linger around 1-3kb. :P
Cons
Because all Celcom Broadband users were sharing certain IP, chances to download something from Rapidshare is kind of hard. But I’ve heard the speed are bad anyway. So don’t bother. Search for other alternative or get a premium account instead. :)
That’s all for now. I’ll keep this post updated when new speed test available from other location.

agree with kira-san, but we canot count on baka-tmnet monopolist…
Does everyone notice that when using Celcom Broadband,, If you use too much bandwidth, your line will be capped.
e.g
i’ve downloaded a lot files using celcom 3G, around 70GB for the previous month, and the next month you’ll end up having speed cap around 15KB/s >.< it happen until 2 week… haiz
And I’m have a few tips for torrent. :)
/* I tried this on utorrent */
Try to avoid high number open port such as 25007.
Simply configure the port to 8080, if you are not using the port, and it will end up having worldwide peer discovery… :)
Using external proxy server also helpful… :)
that’s what i did… I can get good speed on celcom basic rm68 unlimited. it was around 40~60 KB/s…
I upgraded to celcom advance and didn’t tried the speedtest yet. :)
Hope it’s gonna help.. ^^
KIRA, already noticed that, once before when I calling 1111, the welcoming voice was talkin about bandwidth limitation for a celcombb user to 5gb/month. But saying u downloaded 70GB for previous month (without “s”) is shocking me since I was also using torrent before (mjutorrent as its pronounced) through this celcom 3g, obviously I could download 1 movie of 700mb completed in two days (ON pc 12hr/day). But hmm….. for 14 days, let say…. 7 movies, yeah, its possible, 7Gb…. NO, how can u reached 70GB/month????
Lol… i did it lust month… My pc is 24/7 on… that’s mean my internet connection connected all the time… the donwload average is around 40~60 KB/s for daylight, but around 2~6 o’clock morning is boost up to 80~100 KB/s… that’s why. I download a lot of anime though :| if you didn’t believe, i can say anything then >.<
Speed cap is there for celcom basic unlimited though… >.>
So kira-san, u were talkin about RM98 package on HSDPA line??? What modem u use, is it that obvious huawei??? And is that 80~100 KB/s comes from torrent? Is it possible for direct download? It’s not like I don’t believe in u, but i just don’t trust celcom, when most of ppl having poor service of this bb, u enjoy excellent service, b able to download torrent 24/7/ (consistent 100kb/s is indeed, awesome!!!) . I own rapidshare account but my premium download just can stay to 15kb/s only, and it can easily drop to 5kb/s. But what u talked about is very possible, because I also ever experienced 80kb/s torrent with this bb, but it not last long, can easily drop to 10@7kb/s most time. So where u get those very healthy torrents?? Can u share with me because I’m also an anime freak. Ja….
(p/s: might switch to RM98 plan if its really +ve)
My modem is Vodafone E272 with HSDPA/HSUPA.
Yeah, coz i manage to switch to celcom 98 already. but freaking shit coz when i check my celcom bill it wasn’t rm98 per month. it was rm1++ something. haiz. Is the celcom got hidden charge?
Hmm… ok. use the configuration as what i post before. :)
Then go to http://www.tokyotosho.com latest torrent normally have a lot of seed and peer. 1++ and above. :)
For me, i’m currently using utorrent 1.8.1.
As information the public server of celcom here is 219.93.152.130 (i trace the server and notice that the ip configuration is through proxy tunnel… “who care anyway”)
try it out….

Celcom Broadband sucks, in the beginning service was ok and a lot of places you get HSDPA signal (even though the download speed is anything but HSDPA)
Lately, all I been getting is EDGE signal. You can now vomit blood with the download & upload speed.
An example of the speedtest results; Last Result:
Download Speed: 76 kbps (9.5 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 31 kbps (3.9 KB/sec transfer rate)
Latency: 603 ms

Basically I have given up on Celcom and is using streamyx “wifi”. At least the speedtest results of streamyx is like 8-10 times faster.
And the shit thing is I cannot cancel the Celcom BB service bcos I’m lock in a 2 year plan.
Celcom billboard ad..FASTEST, WIDEST, CLEAREST!!! lan ciao!!
er…. so how to make utorrent faster using celcom broadband? anyone knows?
and how to make portfowarding via pfconfig. i still dont know how to use it.
