About the penalty thingy, that's the reason why i have a Celcom broadband . A friend's sister “tolak” to me her broadband at 'harga kawan' because the sister didn't quite use the broadband besides not wanting to pay the penalty.

So, here i am .

About the 5G policy, i think Celcom already pre-capped the speed so that we won't exceed 5G by the end of the month :p. That's why the connection is sooo slow >:(

Jzie,

u really ‘kena’ already!!! Please make soooooooooooooo much noise!! Serve them right.

Sounds so like them to be THAT sloppy in managing their business besides being sloppy in providing the service they promised.

hi, just checking with you guys…

do you receive the $108 charges in 1 bill?

i sign up for the home hop away package but only received
tm bill..”

Celcom called me and said that I owed them RM300++ and my broadband was terminated already becoz I didnt pay them for 4 months. Even though I paid all the streamyx bill. It turns out that I only received streamyx bills only.

And celcom didnt post me the bills becoz the address was not complete. I apply for HHA after I got streamyx. The REALITY:

1. Now I have 2 STREAMYX BILLS (One from original and one from HHA)

2. The bill didnt come becoz the address was not complete!! (How can you accept the application form without checking…And Celcom said it was my fault)

3. I have to pay all of that worth 300++ for that crap

4. Hw can I have 2 Streamyx under 1 name in one house (foolish)

finally got them on the phone. but no that easy to terminate your celcom broadband (do this only if it sucks where u need to use it – like what i am going thru), u have to be present at their service centre and pay up all your dues to that date. hmmm profir profit profit. wonder those people r getting how many months of bonuses each year.

anyone ever been to their service centre? maybe the bigger ones like at their jln semarak office would not be like this, but try going to the one in kajang!! har har

yeah, celcom sucks. when they were selling the modem, i have given my address and they promised me that the area is covered by 3G. i bought the modem, then it costed rm599 (!!!!!!!!!!!!!aiyo-sooo expensive. i was really caught in a dumb act) + 6 mts upfront payment. back home, it took more than a week before i can use their ‘oh-so-good’ internet, and u gesses right, no 3G, just plain gprs and always cut-off.

last week was the worst, so many cut-offs until in the end donno what happen with my pc (i use desktop) i cannot reconnect, it says s/thing like “took so long to establish connection with remote server, the port has been closed. please get support”. oh my!! even my pc doesn’t want to be friends with the usb modem anymore, i cant surf at the home desktop since.

now am thinking why do i waste rm68 pm for nothing. why shud i go & buy a laptop just for the sake of using celcom broadband which only gives me gprs signal. that would be thousands of rm. leaving now would just leave me with rm599 sunk cost, right? i just pray that they didnt tie me up to stupid 24 mts contract or such, dont want to contribute to their ill-gotten profit. see how they really suck, it’s so hard even to get them to answer their careline! it has been two days of endless listening to their stupid machine babbling about in repeats.

I am a Steamyx user for 4 years already. There was no major problem with TM streamyx as it works quite good. But streamyx connection need a fixed line and I like to access to internet away from office or home..thus I decided to purchase USB modem (quite expensive) and subscribe to Celcom Broadband 384kbps @ RM68. The average speed was around 290 to 340kbps and quite happy with it. However…wanting to get a much higer speed…I decided to upgrade to RM98 pacakage i.e. broadband speed 3.6Mbps.

The result was very very disappointing one. Damn…got cheated with a very slow speed at times go lower then 200kbps and at the best speed I got so far was just around 400kbps…I really feel that CELCOM fail to deliver their service!! Really felt cheated. I has called many times (1111) to complained but it went into a deaf ears. I have written a couple of time to careline@celcom.com.my but only got a holding reply.

Right now..I really like to say to them F**K. We got an asshole running CELCOM?.

What I understand from their call centre today – telling me that many broadband RM68 package users have not much to complained about because the broadband system is Celcom system (standalone). The complaints now were largely from RM98 package, this is because it is a shared system between TM and Celcom. I don’t quite understand their explaination but what I understnad was that if you pay more you should get more and not to short change the customers.

Right now I really got fed-up…now either I downgrade back to RM68 or terminate it totally. Screw celcom!!!

I’ve subscribed Home Hop Away Since March 2008. The fee is RM108 with streamyx and celcom 384. I thought of paying RM108 to the celcom is enough but the tmnet charge me too and even expensive than before. Actually which company should I refer to? Please help.

why my celcom broadband network is so slow!even though with 2g where have the line of broadband

I’m currently a celcom broadband subscriber. I pay for unlimited rate RM 78 monthly the last time i checked my statemt. All I can say about the services is…it scuks! I’m a non traveller and although my area (Tuaran, Sabah) have 3g connection – I know cuz my bluecube modem flashed blue- the connectivity rate is sooo not what celcom rave about in their ads and billboards. My advice to those who plan to subscribe this broadband: make sure you live in very close vicinity of the 3g area. Stick to streamyx for hardcore downloaders and youtubers. Those who live in rural areas, even though with 2g/3g coverage, don’t subscribe. Not worth your money. I’ve tried it in areas like Felda sahabat Lahad Datu (Sabah). I feel cheated:(

RM 108 is too expensive for me. Unless you need that to make a living.

If your home is celcom 3G coverage area then not need streamyx
