i tried loggin on sunday near pavilion but the server is not responding at all...

i think this is juz for deco purposes....

Every time I've tried this week I have gotten a message that the service is down for maintenance. Maybe they gave up.

This is not the correct "tree"? Read this http://web7.bernama.com/bernama/v3/news_lite.php?id=361318

The news state it's WIMAX provided by P1 not Wifi.

Saw their notice on their website regarding to service upgrade of WiMAX sites two nights ago. Maybe it solves the problem now.

Wimax meant to cover a bigger area not somethin' like hotspot. So, in my opinion Wireless@kl is not a type of Wimax service, it is just a gimmick by P1 whereby they put a wireless router at location where you basically have to "pay" to enter the strategic location e.g at Dome KLCC.

The real Wimax is when you able to log to internet eventhough you are inside your car driving around KLCC area.

So, don't expect to get wireless internet service while you are relaxing at KLCC park. For the time being, I'm still thinking that Wireless@kl is a joke! I would rather sit at KFC and enjoy their wireless service. Here is the joke from wireless@kl :

No one ever claims Wireless@KL is a WiMAX. If you are looking for WiMAX, I think you should look for the P1 W1MAX solution.

Wireless@KL is running on wifi (wimax as backhaul, wifi as last mile), that's why people can get connected to use the service (using wifi embedded notebook) without having a wimax modem.

Wireless@KL is provided free by the government (DBKL) not by P1.

Is it just me or is WirelessKL rapidly falling apart? Most of the hotspots just say they are in "maintenance mode" or are otherwise not functioning. It's rare that I can use it at all anymore.

Its weird. I can detect and connect to it. But browsing is impossible. Blank screen is all I get. Beginning to feel that it is a fake for the sake of publicity. You know our society.

The should have requested for Wireless Perak(Wireless Ipoh) proven expertise.

The company responsible, RedSnapper-Jaring is partly owned by the Perak Government has provided their assistance to many other cities like Wireless Melaka Project.

QUOTE

The Red Snapper (M) Sdn Bhd is a Perak SEDC Associate Company in which The
Perak SEDC has a 40% equity stake.TRS deploys long range wireless broadband
equipment.

Wireless Melaka is a State Government initiative with the objective to transform Melaka

local ISP – this synergistic partnership endeavors to assist the Rakyat who are not
online, gain access with an affordable yet efficient broadband Internet Service, as to
enable them to use the technology to improve their educational, employment, health and

Perak is now the leader in wireless broadband implementation in Malaysia.The KL City Council should seek their expertise in this.We have a proven model here which could serve the city well.

Close to 80% of the Ipoh is covered by this long range WiFi and they are now pushing for unlicensed Mobile WIMAX in the near future.
