hey..! celcom broadband not sux.. It’s Fukced..

Just be honest celcom bband.. just use “usage policy” without the “fair”..
i wouldn’t mind if it’s like that.. it just makes people feels like being fooled by saying it fair.. there will be less complaint if they didn’t say “Fastest, Unlimited, etc..” just tell the truth.. just said “Average speed, limited, usage policy of 5GB/month.” then i will not complaint but still i want to use it.

I woke up this morning to discover that TM has blocked Rapidshare to the point it’s completely unusable. How unusable? Try 1K/s.

That may be all well and good for the “uncles” and “aunties” who don’t use the internet beyond chatting and email, but what about people who do know how to use the internet? What about users who just like to store their hard disk backup on Rapidshare? Are they going to start blocking off parts of the internet in the name of fair usage?

While I am in US, yahoo DSL with no more than USD30.00 for “stable” over 3 Mbps and with no limite of the download and upload, cannot remember how many movie and drama I download earch month…

So, it is unacceptable in Malaysia for this kind of speed an data usage policy..

But in Malaysia, who care about the consumer…

Most developed countries have 25Mbs as standard, most are rolling out 100Mbs, and some are trialling 200Mbps. And behind these speeds is quality and service, not only that but governments are now forcing ISPs to specify minimum data rates rather than “best effort”, which as a measure is really meaningless, but lets the ISP oversell and make lots of profit, I think in the UK the minimum date rate is set to 2Mbps.

Did you know that Malaysia’s internet backbone only runs at 45Mbps, which is hardly cutting edge.

Well, I was refraining myself from putting this point of view across, but as an outsider, an anti-competitive market is usually the result of corruption. I will leave it up to you all to ponder whether this is the case here.

I really feel sorry for you all, and also feel sorry for myself as I have no choice but to use Celcom with no real or useful avenue of complaint!

i currently using celcom broadband rm68 package and very sick on 64k speed!!!
the so call “fair” usage policy really sux!
if u calculate, u run 384k full speed, ur 5GB bandwidth will run out in just 29 hours!
and if u use 3.6m for full speed even worst! u will run out of bandwidth in just 3++ hours!
really fair huh?
i pay money u let me use for few hours only celcom?
really unacceptable!
if dont have such bandwidth, dont sell such package ma
fair usage, really kns and no eye see.
even though streamyx is best of the worst but unluckily there is no phone line of my area so i only can choose the worse of the worst…
haiz….

15 years after they brag about Multimedia Super Corridor…Malaysia STILL does not have Broadband.

Malaysia has BROKEBAND.

Broken, because they are STILL afraid of competition.

Competitions from foreigners?

No. The answer is…

Competitions from home. We Malaysians are nice people. We don’t like competition lah.

We Malaysians are FAIR people. Fair use. We encourage you to share. Bandwidth also we must share. You pay, we help you share. You don’t like it, we FORCE you to share.

That is why even late comer China already have superFAST, superCHEAP, superBROAD internet…and Malaysia?

We PAY 2009 $$$ rate for 1995 speed.

When will Malaysian Consumer grow backbone?

Soon India and Myammar also get better broadband.

How?

No shame meh?
