First Day Using Celcom Broadband
Recently, I’ve signed up a package from Telekom Malaysia (Home, Hop and Away) that comes with land line, Streamyx 1Mbps and Celcom Broadband sim card 384Kbps with free streamyx modem. I don’t purchase USB Broadband modem for Celcom Broadband as after surveyed, the price was around RM$350 – RM$400 with no contract or package. Yesterday, I was surveying shops in my hometown (Taiping, Perak) and found one of the shop selling the modem at RM$249 (US$70) without any contract or Celcom packages. I grabbed it since it is the latest model from Huawei (E156G).
Installation done automatically and everything goes very smoothly. Today, I tested the speed from my hometown, Taiping using Celcom Broadband 384Kbps, the highest download speed at 150Kbps and average download rate at 30-45Kbps. For RM$133 (US$38) monthly, I got both Streamyx 1Mbps line with land line (including Telekom phone rental) and Celcom Broadband at 384Kbps. I think it is worth every penny. Now, I got good reason to removed the router at home. It is time to use separate Internet connection for both computers.
Currently, I’m downloading 2-3GB each day monitoring 1,000s of new blogs and extracting high PR pages for high PR dofollow link building services for my clients. I find limited bandwidth to blog, drop, comment, find new high PR dofollow blogs, etc. Plus, I’m intending to add more niche blogs. So, it is the best chance to try out other competitors in Internet Service Provider (ISP) market. Are you having more than one ISP line? What is your best reason? Please share.

Good for you for not having this problem. When the demand exceeds, we face this problem. I guess, in my area the crowd just got bigger.

Just out of curiosity… why do you need big bandwidth in order to comment on blogs? It’s not a very demanding task for the machine.

It’s not for commenting. It’s for screening new blogs for dofollow and searching for high PR pages for SEO purpose for my clients. Currently, I’m downloading almost 2-3Gb/day.

The same. Are you still having the contract with Streamyx? If not, I suggest you to upgrade your Streamyx/Phone product to “Home,Hop & Away” and you will be paying RM25 (Phone rental) + RM110 (Streamyx + Celcom Broadband) – but you have to buy a broadband modem (you can find it easily at RM250-RM300). Ask about this package at any Kedai Telekom. I’m sure they will guide you on this.

Hmm, a separate isp for each home computer … a couple of years ago I would have thought you’re nuts. But not now!
With the prices constantly dropping, it’s become much more affordable. Plus, getting broadband internet anywhere in cell phone range – who could resist that ?
I’m actually thinking about getting something similar. My ISP has been acting up lately and I’ve had up to 4 hours of no internet connection at one time. That might not sound like a huge problem to some, but believe me, when you’re using the net to earn $, this is unacceptable.

I agree with you Jack. I was using router and share one internet connection for both computer. Things are slow when you have a lot of work. Plus, some ISP have daily download limitations. So, I’m sort of forced to get a second ISP. Money is the key. If we don’t make enough money online, then I guess one ISP would be very fine.

Yes, but I don’t download movies, songs, games, youtube, etc. Extracting and verifying dofollow blogs takes a lot of bandwidth. Loading a blog page uses a lot of bandwidth these days. With the small tiny widgets to get load, the bandwidth get overused.

Thanks for the concern Matt. I was away being a tourist guide for my brother and wife along with my husband. Rounding two northern Islands in Peninsular Malaysia took almost 2 weeks. I took my holiday without a notice. Really sorry about that.

In my country (indonesia) there are many ISP, i use very cheap ISP Indosat M2, its only $12,5/month, with 460.8 Kbps speed, After test only 18 Kbps max for download. I think speed similiar with price

For 460.8Kbps, 18Kbps download rate is very low. I suggest you to complain about this to your ISP or seek for less competitive ISP that gives better download rate.

The rates for internet broadband is same at your place as it is here back in India. I am using Reliance broadband plus wireless internet and getting a speed up to 3.1MBPS, while i get a download speed averaging around 130-180 and the upload speed around 100Kbps. And i pay a month rental around 20USD.

I’m with AT&T and have been looking at their 3G card for several days now. I just returned from a few days on the mainland and I was outraged that my hotel wanted $8.95 per day for Internet access. I”m going to get some type of broadband wireless service before I go again!
