If you are still thinking which wireless broadband provider in Malaysia to choose from, hopefully this will help you out. Celcom is currently having a great promotion to get you to sign up to their Celcom Broadband service.

Looks like quite a good plan. Wonder if can pay instalment using credit card? Some banks allow 12 months interest free instalment plan.
It is possible I guess. It would be easy on the wallet and allows you to enjoy this promotion.
My husband has signed up for this package. What is meant by ‘upfront payment required’ is not the total amount, but the first instalment i.e. rm159. There is a contract of 24 months, so it goes:-
rm159 x 24 months = rm3816
In the event the puschaser cancels the contract prior to the 24th month, he will need to pay rm3816 minus whatever amount already paid.
For more info, you can contact the nearest Celcom centre or Blue Cube.
Good Luck!
Its a good and valued package.. for those who are cannot afford to buy laptop.. but please take note that, the notebook provided is not the best one..
Of course you can use the notebook for internet surfing and any other basic work (such as microsoft office, etc). But if you think you need high performance notebook, better not to subsribe this plan.
In addition, you’ll be tied under the contract 24 month (2 years).
Agree with cubix

Thanks for sharing your experience. If that is the case, their deal is the norm. Many other “package” promotion work that way. That is, if you terminate the contract before it expires, you’ll need pay the full amount anyway.
@qubix
You sound a little negative towards the notebook. It definitely is not a high end notebook. However, it is more than adequate for normal to intermediate use.
Celcom
I’m so happy if available for a monthly unlimited access,active used only for 10 days in month,for example RM 25 per month.I thing many people will be more interest about it.Thank you.
Celcom should come up with a choice of various packages to make broadband more friendly user.
i.e.BroadBand Modem + wireless router(12V) using
mobile car battery support at remote locations.
Existing Celcom broadband modem is just stand alone usage.
