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

Actually it’s about their shitty 5GB usage policy. What were they thinking. Do you know how much 5GB is? I can use up all the allocated bandwidth in 3 days! What I’m gonna do for another 27 days? Some people said mobile broadband is only suitable for light surfing and it’s not good for heavy downloaders. Ok with latest web 2.0 styles do you think you can stand with heavy sites that contain flash and entertainment modules like youtube or metacafe?

The conclusion is my line is throttled and I’m so mad about it! Celcom totally misleading people with their so called unlimited broadband promotion. Users out there, make your choice carefully. It’s a small world after all when you are in Boleh Land. :D

This my test speed when my line is throttled.

Can you imagine? Just like dial up connection. With this speed I can only turn on my Trillian. After a lot of complaints Celcom claim that they were on some sort of maintenances. Not sure true or not as after the timeline given by Celcom the speed is still same. Luckily I’m on a semester break and I’m at home enjoying so so Streamyx 1MB connection. :P

And this is their so called excuse.
