Digi will roll out their 3G network soon, Celcom throttled

After gone through cumbersome dealing with local authority to acquire 3G spectrum with MCMC, Digi finally finished the transfer process of the 3G Spectrum from TIME dotcom Berhad (TdC) took place on the 7th of May 2008. This is good news for everyone. There will be a new player in town and it will compete with other mobile broadband provider. So Maxis, Celcom, Izzi and Umobile you better provide a good services up to par. So let’s hope for price war soon. :P

But they are already a user in lowyat forum discovered Digi 3G connection in their dialer. Wow this is fast. :D

Currently Digi only providing an EDGE broadband and thats what makes me chose Celcom over Digi. But I’m not sure I’ll stay with Celcom any longer after having a very bad experienced with them this past 2 month. The thing is after Celcom Sales recently I’ve noticed that Celcom 3G network congested during peak hours. Line will be smooth 12pm onwards. We didn’t pay to use broadband for a certain time only for god sake. We will use it whenever we wanted too. In addition to that its really frustrating when the line would keep on disconnecting. GRRR. . .

Soon another problem arised. I’ve received a message from Celcom stated that I’ve sucking up their bandwidth way too much! Haha. Served them well. LOL

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.
