Leisure: Portable Mobile Broadband Convinience


Lately in the 20th century, the internet age had been growing rapidly and guess what, you can actually enjoy so many convinience directly to your fingertips. The technology that I am going to introduce to enhance our life is the Portable USB 3G Modem together with the Celcom Broadband Prepaid pack. You can go everywhere, no matter where within Malaysia, with just a laptop and an ISP (Internet Service Provider) as well as a USB 3G Modem, you are connected to the cyberworld with just a click. Convinient isn't it?

If you are a simple user who requires a basic internet connection with only downloading some e-mail attachments, surfing some simple graphics webpages and uses the internet ONCE IN A WHILE, I can recommend to you the Celcom Broadband Prepaid pack which comes with a preloaded RM20 airtime inside (SIM PACK is RM25). More info http://www.celcom.com.my/. The speed for this package is up to 384KBPS maximum. It very worth it and you have 2 plans to choose for which is the Daily Unlimited (24 hours for RM6) or Weekly Unlimited (7 days for RM20). For other unlimited package (non prepaid), you can still use but this one is much more cheaper for those who required heavy internet usage.

If you required a portable modem instead of using a phone to connect to the Internet, I would recommend the Prolink PHS100 3G HSPDA Modem. It so simple whereby you just need to plug and play the modem into the USB device of the laptop (see picture below). Then you need to insert the Celcom Broadband Prepaid SIM CARD into the protable 3G modem and that's it. Just hit the connect button and you will be connected to the world of internet. So simple isn't it? The modem costs about RM218 and the SIM PACK cost about RM25 and below RM250, you can connect to the internet already. If you are interested, you can give it a try and see how the connection goes. The Prolink modem website is http://www.prolink2u.com/.

I have tried the speed here in Kelana Jaya and then I found out that I can get maximum speed of 384kbps for download and the loading of the pages was pretty fast. It's very good and value for money. I have choosen the Daily Unlimited to test out the connection and then it gives me maximum performance. Thumbs up to Celcom Broadband. Not only that, I also do listen to feedback that the Celcom Broadband was stable and fast as well. After I've tried it, it's very true. I have connected for about 5 hours for now and no disconnection so far. Welcome to the cyberworld with minimum hardware and software requirements as well as convinience! CELCOM BROADBAND PREPAID RATING: 5/5 ; PROLINK 3G MODEM RATING: 5/5
