A whole day exploring and learning of Ubuntu did give me a wider view of open source operating system. This is good, I like how much I can customise with it. I have not yet get myself a meal yet the whole Saturday
Sometimes, when excitement came appetite suppressant is the only way to help me, as well as some constipation pills. I get these 2 a lot of time. Must adjust my time to suit this whole fulltime + freelance environment…
Anyway, today was good, cause I’m getting a decent learning of Ubuntu from the net and self exploring. Speaking of Internet, I was afraid that Celcom mobile broadband doesn’t work on Ubuntu. It turns out quite impressive. I don’t need to setup anything at all, well, beside choosing country and service provider. It works out of the box with Ubuntu, both my P1 broadband and Celcom doesn’t require me to setup anything at all (I wonder if I call in P1 support and tell them I’m using Ubuntu, how they going to instruct me?).
Anyway, previously I blog about how to force Celcom to do faster connection, I can’t seems to find any non Ubuntu. And yes, it gets slower and faster quite unstable. Now that doubt me about Celcom broadband. I’m not saying I want to cancel it after half month of subscription. It works well in Windows, if I adjust it to WCDMA.
Speaking of Internet, I tested on the download speed by downloading stuff myself
By using P1, I get up to 100KB/s download speed, the first time I experience such a fast connection from Malaysia ISP. The best download speed I get previously in Vista was 48KB/s. However, I don’t know it is the operating system or the mood (of P1) that differ the speed.
I’m using Ubuntu 8.04 and Celcom broadband stick. I think its works properly but not in KL (my house is in Gombak). But when i was in Kuantan (workplace) or Kota Bharu (hometown), its working at superb level… That means the OS and internet connection working well except because of the line strength.
Need advise especially somebody know how to set up the line to get stable 3G or HSDPA line.
