I’ve been using Celcom 3G D120 since 2 months ago. I was satisfied with the connection in the first month. Unfortunately, I was not able to enjoy the same quality since 16 Feb 07.
The quality of the line has degraded significantly compared to the first month using it even though my connection shows a 3 bar full on UMTS/3G. My situation is, for the first month I was able to utilise the 3G connection at the rate of 120 -200kpbs DL / 56kpbs UL with the ping time around 56 - 80 ms.
Running 3G connection under the same condition as the past month, I’ve noticed huge degration of quality of the speed. I get a lot ping timeout and transmission of data getting stalled for few seconds, sometimes even for minutes, though i’m still connected to the service.
Knowing this, I ran a similar test on the speed again. The result was outrageous. I’m only able to connect at the speed of 58Kbps DL / 45 Kpbs UL with the ping time around 200 - 1500 ms on a 3 bar full UMTS/3G connection.
My question is what could have caused such significant degration of download speed which is worst than a 56K dial up ? I’m sure it’s not because of the signal as I’m getting the same level of signal. Anyone having the same problem ?
I would appreciate it if someone would point out what’s happening to my connection. Else, I will have to terminate my subscription as I find it unworthy to pay RM120 a month to get Time Out pages all the time.
Just now, I tried the speed test again. The result was 36kbps DL/ 42kpbs UL with 267ms ping time. I wanted to post the image of the test but because of the bad connection, I couldn’t even load the result image page.

yea same with me too… i get good speed last year, but the speed connection sometime sleep (i think), when i download zip file, and try to open it, error message appear, why? because when i’m download, it STALLED, while i post this message, i’m already report to suruhanjaya komunikasi dan multimedia and celcom itself, still hope for improvement, but if still didn’t change, blh bla la celcom…

I would like to ask here, what is the different in speed using the data card and The Phone ? currently I am using Nokia E 65, so sad. Connection always drop to gprs. 1st time it shows 3g connection then drop to GPRS..argg very slow just like dial UP. I am staying in Serdang area. Should I buy 3G data card?

I have long subscribe to celcom 3g for 5 months and never miss paying the bills. But now… if celcom is shitting on me then I will shit at them back. I’ll use their service without paying 2 months bill, and wait until they suspend my account, and then go to hell celcom 3g. The data card rm1000 I bought was just a waste of money for the cheating celcom. I couldn’t believe it, how could there is a service like this in malaysia.
Promotion like crazy, service like dumb ass, fucking shit celcom3g.
If only I could use streamyx(student don’t have phone line), I could never come across this service.
Another malaysian ‘X’ history.

I can’t imagine paying near to rm100 for the wireless 3G, on top of their screwed up customer service & clueless technical support ppl. I’m using Sg M1 3G wireless unlimited plan with 2mbps download for only sgd$20 per month. The 3G usb modem (huawei) if FOC. The best part is i could used it for work in Sg and also the 3G signal could be received almost 5km from the borders, etc places like city square jb …
