Wireless Broadband, anyone?

All the wireless broadband providers in Malaysia

I’m a sucker for anything wireless. Heck, I even have a wireless headphone, a wireless charger and a wireless home theatre. Therefore, a wireless broadband is a definite must! Before Digi came into the already crowded broadband business, there are only two main broadband providers: Maxis and Celcom. First, I tried out Maxis, since I’m using Maxis prepaid service anyway. The USB modem is made by Huawei and it’s the older model, the E220. Access to broadband is great and connection is stable no matter where I used it. Only I wish that the speed is faster (don’t we all?). For RM138/month, I supposed to get at least 1Mbps. But that’s not the case, as I consistently managed only 1/3 of the promised speed.

Then I changed to Celcom. Paying RM98/month for 1Mbps, I still had to pay (RM249) for my own modem (still by Huawei but smaller in size, just like a thumbdrive). But access is quite slow almost everywhere. I dunno whether Celcom’s lines are already crowded as U-Mobile also bought some airtime from Celcom for their broadband service. And being unable to access Celcom broadband all week long last week really pissed me off!

By the way telcos, the statement of “best effort” of achieving the promised broadband speed is a ripoff, and it’s so 1990s! If you can’t promise a consistent connection of 1Mbps, then don’t promise anything at all. We’re paying for the services and we do expect good services in return. Maxis and Celcom, hope you’re hearing this.
