Verdict So far..

1. Performance of wireless varies according to ..
a, area
b, number of users per-tower
c, wireless signal

2. Best to say at the moment,
a, some users have above average performance 70%
b, some users have crap performance
c, network bandwidth issues..
d, slow refund times..

3. Service is only average at most

Continue discussion here, another thing to note is wimax is "due" to launch soon middle or maybe 3rd quarter of the year, so izzi will be in a tough field if performance isn't up to par with wimax...

please PM me any important info, that should be on the first page okie..

well gaming is latency/time sensitive..
i kinda doubt wireless technology is suitable for that kinda of application..

anybody got the latest ping time results ???

you could always arrange a time for a test run. test the speed yourself. If you feel that's okay then buy it lo. If you doesn't like the speed, no harm trying it again in future.

anyone using izzi service in ampang lembah maju ? i would like to know hows the connection speed . issit stable? i hav gone through the v1 thread but i still dun get the conclusion..all i got almost in negative feedback =( coz my gf planning to subscribe wireless broadband..she ask me to suggest her and at tat moment i think of this..but after i gone through so many pages from v1 then i realize that it is kinda sux from the beginning till today.

Hi all,

New to here, but I have comments to make and queries to ask....

Comments:
1. I subscibed IZZI and mine package is the via usb package....
Bitcomet : 120kbps(max) @sunway university college condo
58kbps(max) @home near wangsa maju

*BComet running under encrpyted mode <not sure whether it affects speed or not...>

2. When I connect the modem, I get limited connectivity, got annoyed...<help perhaps??>

3. Got dc occasionally, especially when I on it for the whole night for download and RO bots...

4. Weather doesnt affects much but height is an influencial factor...<I live in 5th floor of a condo near college>

5. Slight adjustment will cause major change in speed...

6. No prob in playing Gunbound and RO but in RO lags sometimes...

7. Line speed keeps changing... <NOT EVEN CLOSE TO STABLE>

8. Surf the net while in a moving car? Think again... <OR DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!>

Queries:
1. How to get rid of the limited connectivity?

2. Where can I get my hands on the antenna? Low Yat have one?

3. Anyone can tell me the current price of PSP?

P/S: Above is all on the basis of factual events, I personally, have no intention in sabotaj act or in intention to mislead and confront any third party. And hence, not responsible in any events of suffering to anyone involved.

i'm now using izzi, not worth paying RM98/month co zi'm experiencing almost the same problem as williamyoon. Saying in Cheras. Always dc. Even dc when i'm using normal surfing actvt like checking email @ gmail or yahoo. when i wan to reconnect, i have to plug out the terminal and plug in again. Otherwise i will get error message. it's troublesome. sometime connection speed is as slow as dial up modem. I'm staying at 12 floor. The agent told me d higher d better for izzi, but it's just sucks. Anybody has solution for me?

First of all, which part of Cheras are you staying at? I stay at Pandan Indah but i do not get any disconnection. p2p ain't a problem for me as the speed is more or less similiar to my previous streamyx 1Mb. The reason i terminated streamyx because is more expensive than izziyou.

I would say that most of your problem is your setting up configuration? And as for what agents told you, its true. the higher the better. but it also have to depend if the area is covered or not. Thats why, it would be best that you do a test run before purchasing it.

Not sure about this one

2. When I connect the modem, I get limited connectivity, got annoyed...<help perhaps??>
You can switch off the warning thing at your network connection.

3. Got dc occasionally, especially when I on it for the whole night for download and RO bots...
As for the DC thing, i believe that your area of coverage is quite unstable. You can lodge a report to the izzi customer service and when there are lots of other customer facing the same thing in your area, they would consider to build a new base station near your area provided that they get the license to built it somewhere near there.

4. Weather doesnt affects much but height is an influencial factor...<I live in 5th floor of a condo near college>
Of course weather does not affect cuz its on Radio frequency.... height is a factor because of buildings interfearence. One base station could cover up about 13Km radius out of sight but if its line of sight, it could cover up to 17~20Km.

5. Slight adjustment will cause major change in speed...
What sorts of adjustment are you talking about?


6. No prob in playing Gunbound and RO but in RO lags sometimes...
Do you have the additional antenna? Not the one which is RM38. With the antenna, it will boost your latency in gaming.

7. Line speed keeps changing... <NOT EVEN CLOSE TO STABLE>
Cuz your area coverage is not stable?

8. Surf the net while in a moving car? Think again... <OR DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!>
I had no problem surfing the net in the car (I'm not driving) but when i reach some blind spot, i have to admit that it get DC.

Queries:
1. How to get rid of the limited connectivity?
Answered above

2. Where can I get my hands on the antenna? Low Yat have one?
Which antenna are you looking at?

3. Anyone can tell me the current price of PSP?
Can't help you with PSP. Its not related with this topic. smile.gif

This is very humble of you to protect those that are selling the service in the forum. and i hope i did solve your problem.

Eric,

I only know of the rm38 antenna , is there any other type that is available ??? fyi i'm using the izziYou.

as for william, you are getting 120KBps or 120kbps ??? lotsa different there ... if 120KBps, that would be reaching the MAX of 1Mbps line and i would be very happy if i were u smile.gif
Anodize
There is actually another type... but i am not sure if its for sale. I'll have to look it up for you... keep this thread in tracked...

As for william, i believe he is getting the full 120KBps cuz the base station is some where there... 120KBps x 8 = 960 Kbps

Ok, I'm curious to know if anyone has had a similar experience as I have:

I signed up with iZZi, and during the first week, the speed was fantastic. But after the first week, my speed started dropping, to the point where it is now officially slower than what I used to get from Streamyx.

And I'm not even talking about torrents. I'm just trying to surf the web and play Scrabulous on Facebook. And I'm sitting here, twiddling my thumbs, waiting for the damned pages to load.

iZZi support has been pretty lousy. I took screenshots of my bandwidth speed tests and sent it to them nearly a month ago. Called a few times since then to follow-up, but they just keep saying that they've notified their tech people and they'll get back to me soon.

I've got 100% signal strength, and I got really good speed during my first week of subscription, so I doubt it's an issue with my location, the coverage area, or any of my network settings. Nothing has changed.

I never thought I'd encounter a broadband provider crappy enough to make me consider going back to Streamyx, but here I am.

Comments? Suggestions?
ubsacc2004
yes i oso encounter the same ting.
but i can surf website without dll torrent. then you may surf net.
wen u stop surf net then i just trigger dll torrent.
kwackers
Wait, are you suggesting that it's my torrents downloading that's causing the slowdown?

I'm getting 5kb/s download on uTorrent, so I don't think it's sucking up all the bandwidth. Unless there really isn't that much bandwidth to share in the first place.

Anyway, I'll reboot, turn off uTorrent and see if there's any effect on my surfing speed.
colly9
hi eric,

thanks for your reply.
I'm staying in Taman Miharja, the apartment next to Jusco Maluri. Just get iZZi for 1 week. What do you mean by setting up configuration problems? I mention b4 that when it dc, i have to plug out the terminal, then plug in again, then only i can get connected again, if i did not plug out the terminal when it dc, and just dial like that, i will b getting the same error message as below. (sorry, don't know y i couldn't do the screencaps, so i type it out for you)

Error Connecitng to iZZI
Connecting through WAN Miniport (PPPOE)
Error 815: The braodband network connection could not be established on your computer because the remote server is not responding. This could be caused by an invalid value for the "Service NAme" field for this connection. Please contact your Internet Service Provider and inquire about the correct value for this field and update it in the Connection Properties.
If you continue to receive error messages, you can enable logging for analysis.

My question is -
a) what is the 'valid value' for the service name?
b) i now putting the terminal near window, ok, i'm getting 100% signal and d speed is ok, but after 20 min later it will dc again. Everyday I online from 8pm to 1130pm and surely get dc at least 5 times per night.

Perharps you can advice me. Coz i email d sales ppl, they just say will refer to the technician and never reply my email.
thanks.

nothing wrong with your signal. It's because your area start to have more and more izzi user. One tower support 50 users, and 24 Mbps downstream. So, if all the 50 user use the service fully (p2p or ftp for example), your max speed will drop to half. (simple math).

It happen to some of us, including me. Its only...i already fedup and let it be...as I did with streamyx before. Customer service...hmm...entahla labu.

My laptop is on the same table in the same room, but now I have difficulty getting a consistent high signal strength, compared to two weeks ago. Also, the bandwidth significantly dropped. Anyone around the Damansara Perdana area got the same problem?
Anodize
Damansara perdana line had not been very stable all this while as there are other RF interruption that is built near to the base station.

If there's inteference to iZZi users, then there almost certainly will be inteference to the other telco(s)' users... sweat.gif

currently, to my understanding, there is only izzi using RF...thats why even during rainy season, there are no interruption on the signal. Correct me if i am wrong.

I tried really hard to understand what you've just said. So, is there or is there not RF inteference, on basis of what you've said in an earlier posting (#26)? icon_question.gif

well... to my understanding, there is RF interference but have to confirm with the technical ppl.
zairol79
Is I'm not mistaken... maybe there are some RF interference with that one use by Sri Pentas building.. and I heard izzi based tower are built at the same place too.BTW about bandwidth. it getting slow and slow now.. From my apartment at Flora Damansara, 7th floor, I only manage to get less than 300kbps only.. and the answer was very easy.. coz many people are using it already..

I also test it at my sister house at Pandan Indah, new based tower ( Feb 08 ) at 90% signal,the speed are around 600+kbps.. I'm wonder the speed if the signal was 100% huhu

i m also a subscriber of Izzi.Currently i mostly use it at Kepong.The fact is most of the time the connection is really bad,until i cant even open one page,eg google.Before i subscribed,the salesperson said that the coverage is quite ok in Kepong but in the end this is not true.I tried to email them on this problem but no reply from them.I think i will just discontinue my subscription and ask for refund.After all,it doesnt really worth it at all.
Anodize
Like i say it before. Many izzi sales person would focus on their sales. they do not care much about the feedback of their customer because its not their business. All they know is to hit their monthly target so that they could get extra cash. I do not encourage end users to buy directly without doing a test run first. Still, if anybody want to subscribe, kindly contact me.

Hi Eric,

I considering of getting an izzipro to use with my two pc. Can it use with my existing router w/modem aztech dsl3100r? Thanks

Steven
Anodize
Izzipro could be used with routers but not a router modem. My suggestion would be for you to sell of that modem, buy an ethernet card so that you can link both PC together to go online using one as the main com. Else you will have to consider to buy a new router after selling your router modem.

Got one for myself, apparently signal in Wangsa Maju is super duper strong, but terribly weak in USJ 5
Anodize
Cuz there is a tower in Wangsa Maju area while is USJ, the tower is at USJ 1. The distance between USJ 1 and USJ 5 is pretty far thus making the signal weaker.

i didn't know there is a downgrading service... smile.gif
but since you feel that usb is slower than your pcmcia, i believe is your hardware that causes it.
BenjaminTakeyo
New subscriber here, finding the speed good, although stability is a bit of an issue.

I have got two drop outs and last night speed was not as fast as it is now, I maxed out only ~60 KB/s in torrents last night, but now I'm getting ~80 KB/s. I can only hope speed will stay this way.. and the drop out issue to be resolved.
Anodize
if you want the line to be more stable, you could always add antenna
kwackers
BenjaminTakeyo: Good luck. My torrents were rocking along at between 70 and 100KB/s when I first signed up. Now they crawl along at between 5 and 15KB/S.

And the antenna may make the line more stable, but that has no bearing on the speed itself. 100% signal and 15KB/s download speed? Seriously?

This is what I paid RM1.3k up front for? mad.gif

that is the thing... do you realize that there is a socket on the anetnna itself to add an additional antenna? You can add the iZZi PANL012 antenna which is 12 dB Gain. This is suitable for the izzi pro. while the omni antenna is suitable for izziyou users. If you wish to get it, do let me know.

somehow, there might be lag for playing dota as the latency might that be that stable. To get a stable latency, you can try to add the antenna. it helps a lot.
