dear P1~
is it my modern cannot on for 24hrs? how come after i hav been on it for 24 hrs den my line is shit...loading slower than snail
wats d problem?~~~

hello, i live in Section 8 Putra Height, does P1 Wimax exist there? How the speed there? please PM me about that and other information to start subscribe.

I believe there will be no contract for new subscriber ?

Torrent slow of course is because they throttled and limit the bandwidth for torrenting. No need to complain, even MCMC cannot comment when ISP throttle torrent because the content is usually not legal anyway.

If you can't open a website, then that's something to complain about.

OK starts count down to the day to terminate P1

their service getting worst each day.. lets count down...lol..

Dude, based on your assumption. If the ISP offers you 400kbps per user...

1 user = 400kbps
10 users = 4Mbps
100 users = 40Mbps
1 million users = 1,000,000 * 0.4
= 40000 Mbps
= 40 Gbps

The speed must be there no matter you are sleeping, eating, taking bath.

40Gbps only to serve the 1 million users 24x7 at RM49 per month per user (inclusive administrative costs and tax)?

Bittorent is a legal service. The contents of shared files via bittorent might be illegal, but bittorent, in of itself, is legal. Open source software for instance, are being distributed through it. If the ISP decide to throttle the software itself, while the user had not exceed its monthly quota bandwidth, then the ISP is not adhering to its own fair usage policy. I could understand that P1 Wimax feels the need to limit its bandwidth usage, but doing the throttling before users exceed the given bandwidth quota can be considered as a breach of trust, if not breach of agreement more so.

The term and agreement explicitly stated that users are given a certain quota of bandwidth to use, and if the the bandwidths are being used up before the end of the month, then ISP have the right to impose a traffic throttling.

Another clause in the terms and agreements is that the service is being provided at "best effort" basis. I don't quite remember the details, but "best effort" basis means that the ISP should provide the speed not slower than the 70% of the advertised speed. I think thats the guideline laid down by MCMC.

Regardless of the legality of the contents, bittorent is a legal service. As such, the ISP that throttling bittorent deprive its user on their overall internet experience and can be deemed for not providing its internet service at "best effort" basis.

If not mistaken, the TnC also mentions they will manage P2P activity on top of the fair usage policy.

And the 70% advertised speed is only applicable to fixed broadband and not wireless broadband - someone mentions this before last time.

The tricky part for all the wireless broadband provider is that they always advertise as "UP TO 1 Mbps", if the speed is 500kbps it's also as according to their advertised speed and it's fall under the 70% as well.

I believe not just torrenting, file sharing also being controlled by broadband provider nowadays.

StreamyX even took a step forward to throttle based on file type.

I can understand why Wireless Broadband providers do that because their wireless station has limited bandwidth due to the frequency spectrum but StreamyX is a fixed line provider

If that is true, then they should clearly spell this out in their advertisements. Does MCMC has a guideline for advertisements? Saying that for instance, a user is given a 20 gigs of bandwidth without telling them upfront explicitly that a certain mechanism of traffic shaping is being imposed to them for certain type of internet services, is not really an ethical conduct that should practise by the company. Users should be well aware of the quality of service that are being provided of, any shortcomings should be disseminated throughly to the users for the users to understand.

Just for your information, in the medical world, even the advertisements are being regulated strictly, leaving no error for misleading informations, and henceforth, avoiding "false claim".

Just an update. Continued slow speeds for up to 9 days now. Any news from P1?

WE WANT JUSTICE!!

omg bro. this post is like going to be one year. and u bring it out and talk ? how about can i ask you, what u eat on nov 25th 2009 for dinner ? LOL

OMG!!! i just signed up with P1 yesterday.

i signed up their Home Plus package which comes with the new DX230 modem (which supposedly come with wireless router built-in).

but i'm having problems!
not sure if it's the same problem as what you guys are facing, but i can only connect ONE device wirelessly to the model at one single point in time.
if my laptop's connected, then i can't connect my phone to it.
i called P1 tech support, and they told me to change the router channel manually from "auto" to "9" to "10" and then to "11".
but... it didn't matter! problem still exists!

did i make the wrong judgment of trusting P1 again?

still ok la tu bro 9 days...i already 2 month now...lol

try check ur dhcp server..what is the start and end ip add..or mayb u enable Wifi Protected Setup...ask eseong...lol

I'm with you mate. Thing is the P1 reps will not necessarily admit that they are throttling torrents. Fact remains torrent speeds are clearly slower than usual.

I hope it clears up soon. In the meantime, word of advice to P1 - always keep the customer informed! Good news or otherwise...

thanks for your probably answer!
and you're right, i'll just wait for the tech pros to answer.

huhu my p1 at cheras now at 1~2 kbps sad sad sad

Whattttttt, the Fair Usage counter at P1 website start working again, arrghh! luckily I downloaded like crazy before it worked, now its working my data usage when it was not working is not counted

lol u oso noticed their FUP not working for the past few days...lol

but what for coz my speed still slow ..lol

There is no point for me to continue using P1Wimax.
20GB that only able use less than 2GB due to those speed.
Afterall, I still need to paid the bill every month.
Even until they give me free 6 month of free Wiggy last time & few month waive for the black brick, I also returned back to P1.
