Celcom Broadband Mobile Internet sucks! Yes, Celcom Broadband suck. Why? Because I exceeded my usage limit and it is running at throttle speed @ 64 Kbps now. I still have 1 week to suffer before back to normal speed @ 3.6 Mbps. Yeah… I am back to 56K modem old age. I still remember the Internet speed is slow as turtle back then. Luckily, there is not much P2P, Flash, online video during that time.

I started to use Celcom Broadband since I got my very first smartphone ~ HTC HD2. That was Celcom Broadband Basic with 384kbps. Got upgraded to 512kbps after few months. Then I downgraded to Celcom Broadband Entry on Voice with 384kbps connection speed only but cheaper price. Then it changed name to Celcom Broadband mBasic. And once again speed was upgraded to 700kbps.
Celcom Broadband Mobile Internet is my backup Internet access at home and primary when on the road. There are 4 Celcom Broadband Mobile Internet Plans currently ~ Celcom Broadband mLite, Celcom Broadband mBasic, Celcom Broadband mAdvance and Celcom Broadband mPro. All of them have the same connection speed at 3600kbps but have different bandwidth volume and price. Once again, I changed to the cheapest plan as I want to get 3.6 Mbps connection speed compare to 700kbps on old plan. How is the Celcom Broadband Mobile Internet performance? Let’s find out…
