Kenapa Celcom Broadband tersangatlah slow. Prihatin ler skit ngan pelanggan seperti saya yang membayar RM 68. Saya menetap sekitar Lembah Klang tapi coverage tersangat lah lembab. Harap pihak celcom menyelesaikan maslah ini, agar pelanggan tidak berpaling kepada perkhidmatan yang lain.thumbsdown

I'm currently using Celcom broadband RM98 per month unlimited. Their fair usage policy is only 5gb per customer. After hit the 5gb, u will have problem in connecting to the service. Also, Celcom service is very very bad.... I agreed that they should improve on current service rather than keep on releasing new service. We pay and pay but did not get the expected service...Really really poor service.thumbsdownthumbsdownthumbsdownthumbsdown

Dear all Celcom Users,

I know that the service is still not at the level best as what you all expected it to be. Give them time. They are just barely one year old in this broadband service. You don't expect to get a son today and one month after that he can eat rice right?

As for those who have problems in their connections, please do call Celcom Customer Care @ 1111 from your Celcom Postpaid / prepaid number or 1300 111 000 from other operator. Tell them your location that you are in, they will do their best to rectify the problem. They are currently doing a full server change from Alcatel to Erricsson to support and provide better service. You can expect the launching of 7.2 Mbps soon.

Now all people brag about WiMax. Later what we can see is that all of them would say they S**ks too. That is very norm in us, Malaysians.

I am a happy Celcom user as they can solve my problems within 72 hours after i complained. I tried Maxis and Streamyx before this, and currently decides that i would still stick to Celcom for its coverage, though sometimes in outskirt areas, there won't be any 3.6Mbps coverage.

All i can say here is that Celcom is only 1 year old, but with more than 200K active custumers. Kudos! Celcom. I hope to see you do better in the coming future.laughing-smiley

Celcom keep releasing products and services, but they actually should improve the existing services. im using the D98 plan and get speed around 500kbps and even 1xxkbps even in the 3gx area. hope they can improve speed and stability a little more.
