Celcom 3G in Alor Setar

By September 2006, you guys can enjoy 3G service in our home town! Its actually a 3GX (3.5G/HSPDA) which is better than 3G. The speed is 1-2 Mbps. I haven't try the 3GX area, but the normal 3G in my area (Subang/Kota Kemuning) working around 200-350kbps (40kBps). 3GX should work around 200kBps. Celcom 3G will cover all major city nation wide by end of this year.
Sierra Wireless AirCard 850 is the datacard you can get out there for RM1388. It support 3GX 1.8Mbps. Its can slot in your PCMCIA completely except the antena.(antena looks wiered, very tiny and looks fragile). Its better than the Hwawei E600 datacard recommand by Celcom before which only support up to 384bps and abit bulky where you have to take it out from the PCMCIA when you put in you beg. (2 months ago, they charge me RM1480, but now only RM10xx)

The 3G package for unlimited access.
1. a postpaid package(voice call/SMS, min RM50) + 3G unlimited(RM99)
2. data only RM120 for unlimited 3G

Hey, i'm not the Celcom agent here. Dont think i doing sale here. Anyway, you might consider using 3G instead of TMNUTS Steamix in terms of reability. Well, my experience for steamix, line down once a month or 2. downtime 2-6days.(depends on our package, if you are RM88 or so, thank God if they come whitin 3 days, if you are coopereate package 4xx-6xx, 1-2 days) If you ever report a complaint to TMNUTS, you will get a report no. the no. are accumulate, I have calculate the no. Its around 20,000 report generated in 1 day. Good luck to you and have a nice day.
