Just to add a little.

They don't serve you directly but instead you need to go through their authorized service providers which is where you'll get your hardware from and made payment to. Actually at the price that they are charging, it probably makes more sense if you go for the Celcom / Maxis 3G plans as you'll be able to get Internet access in more coverage area than these guys.

These guys would need to improve on the price points and go for the monthly payment scheme if they want to get critical mass. Whatever their intentions (testing the market or whatever) are, I'm sure that they'll need a minimum number of subscribers in order to break even unless they have huge piggy banks to spend on.

The rich guys / real mobile users would likely sign up for Maxis / Celcom 3G packages. I don't think anyone is that stupid to go for a service which such limited coverage.
*



well for mobile network eg maxis/celcom/digi, the best you can get that matches with wireless will be HSPDA where by the coverage isn't well everywhere.. i'm staying like 5 mins away from KL and i dont have HSPDA in my area the only fastest i can get is EDGE rclxub.gif ,

but we still need to see their terms eg "unlimited" = unlimited ?, and also bandwidth consistancy factor..

I smell fishy. Will it be a TMNUT child company?? Using other name to mask their presences.

Until now, we still dunno their downtime will be 2-3 mins or 2-3 days since it's a new company. But as long as everyone can get out from screamyx or TMNUT then it's ok edi biggrin.gif

Anyway, good luck for those signing with them.

A whois query on the 2nd to last hop to their webserver:

So... nope! not hosted at NTT. tongue.gif

That is consistent with using NTT. AIMS is an interchange point.

I can semi-confirm that they interconnect @ AIMS.
They're one of the ISPs connected to MY-IX.

nope didn't went to the road show yet..

ps: of all placed they do it in digital mall rclxub.gif do some place more accessible la eg One Utama /Curve/Midvalley..

Couldn't agree with you more on the 1 year advanced subscription fees. Nothing worse than a company without any reputation getting your money for one year and they'll do whatever they like once you already pay them. If they start using - "Best effort basis" as an excuse, then dunno what to say lah.

I think they should adopt a monthly subscription model instead of yearly - no one is Malaysia (I think) trust a broadband provider with no track record, as many have failed to deliver. Even current providers with so called "contract period" and charging on a monthly basis is already scary enuff!

And what are they thinking on marketing the service ????? Yes ... should intro it at places where there is potential buyers and more accessible to public.

Two possible reasons why they ask for 1 year advanced payment...

a) it's to "quickly" recover the cost of their access device. Which, in turn, implies that their funding is... um... "tight".

b) or, perhaps, like I had mentioned earlier, they don't want too many takers just yet... which implies, they're still "trialing" their service.

Either way, doesn't sound good. And that's sad.

Remarkable gizmo - this iBurst 4G card. Used it on the run in Australia and was so satified with its connection reliability, great speed and amazing mobility, no hesitation subscribing to one when heard about it in Malaysia. Best pricing compared to 3G and Celcom. RM1,138 compared to more than RM2,500 for the competition. Plug and play, no waiting time.

So far so good when using it around KL city, I even downloaded a Christina Aquilera video and watched her sexy moves while waiting for my Sar Ho Fun in a coffee shop in Petaling street, but not so great in PJ, but otherwise cant complain. Told by the company they will have the whole of Klang Valley covered by end August.

Also easy payment scheme if paid by credit card. Zero interest for 12 months instalments meaning I dun have to pay my bank back for 12 months with no interest charged and best yet, you get their "4G" card free. Beats Streamyx anytime anywhere.

Why this sound like a ads from Oz "iBurst". Why not put some latency (ping time) and bandwidth test, Internal IP or public? torrent speed?

Yeah right, new user with zero posts comes in and writes a glowing review of a company so shady they are asking for 1 year payment up front. Can you say "shill", ladies and gentlemen?

Good news about them is that they do not seem to be connected through TMnet, so their connection to the rest of the world might not suck:

and the bad news is that it appears that by looking at various internet route servers, they are single-homed to global transit aka aims. that's a recipe for a service f-up in case of a gt outage.

Just called Izzi Customer hotline and they say (at least) that they do not shape bandwidth for P2P services. If this is true, then well worth the additional cost compared to our favourite Screamyx. A little skeptical if this is true in the long run....

They also said the service is now on in commercial/city centre areas, and will be expanded to residential areas (such as Bangsar) by end-Sept.

No risk-free trial yet.

Currently using Maxis Mobile Broadband - service not great (they definitely throttle P2P and reception on high floors limited) but I must admit the convenience of a wireless connection is very appealing.
