Well ,the download speed doesn't matter ,c my ping ?I can hardly browse a webpage ...Everytime also error to display the page ...Haha ,luckily i didn't subscribe to Pee 1 ,it's my friend ^^

I'm sure this has been said many times (can't be bothered to go through each page and posts) but P1 WiMax's connection speed has gone down in speed greatly these past few months although not nearly as bad as maxis (talking from experience).

My average speed is halved compared to the first few months subscribing to their service. Perhaps it's due to the potong campaign, they may have overdid it and resulted in speed potong as well.

It is a little frustrating but as long as P1 WiMax service won't go down to maxis level, I can live with it.

(socialmention this suckers)

don speedtest seri kembangan.

speedtest sri kembangan or not, i still can't load lowyat.net. Need to press more than 10 times F5 and relocate modem every 10 seconds just to load lowyat.net.

Speedtest is just a tool to determine result of after bad connection. if connection is good, i dun even need a speedtest run.

We will attend to your issue shortly. Please bear with us ya Thanks.

some tips to those suffering low speeds (maybe due to base station congestion, etc).

1. Do not put your modem in front of a window with tint. seems to have an aversion to tinted windows, this modem.
2. Make a list of all the base stations in your area. take the modem on a field trip on different parts of your house, then login to the modem http://10.1.1.254 (admin/admin123) to take down the BS ID/Base station Id. Also take note of the location of the modem if you get a different BS ID.
You can also use the coverage checking map to see which direction you may have to face the modem to.
3. Disable any QoS service in your router (my previous router, DIR-300 screwed my wimax connection when i turn on the QoS)
4. Do not limit your possible wimax modem location to "just facing out of a window", sometime facing a wall there can be signal also (like in my case facing the inside of the condo at times)
5. Once you have the list in #2, do some observation per base station.
a. do a ping www.yahoo.com -t test, if it is normal you should be getting 200-400ms reply and only 1 "Request time out" every
once in a while
b. do a speedtest
6. Position is key. The modem signal can change if you even move it 1 degree or even just centimeters from where it is, or even just adding some height to the modem (like putting it on top of a book, etc)


Hope this helps, this is what i normally do when i get low speed with P1.


and btw, these are the base stations that I know that are suxx:

00:00:12:A0:01:63 - used to be good, but right now when i connect high ping
00:00:12:A0:05:72 - said to be under maintenance, also used to be good too, at the moment off peak is ok- come 9pm here comes the lag.

these base stations are ok.
00:00:12:A0:00:52 - currently using this one, getting green signal too but modem is at the balcony (where our clothes are being hung to dry)
00:00:12:A0:00:41 - sometimes able to connect to this one, also good.

Hi good friend

Really appreciate that. That info would be helpful to others though.

Dear P1,

ever since the Maintainence around the Seberang Jaya,Prai,Penang area

my connection when from good to WORST

it keeps disconnecting around every 5 Minutes,at BEST it could last till 10 minutes and thats it...

i thought my modem is broken so i decided to test it in my friend house over at Bayan Lepas,but worked fine

HELP please, this only happened after the maintainence!

my account is 101236040

Edit:

okay i logged in to the modem and tried moving the modem and now it works better than before....better speed now but still DC once in awhile

i notice if the TX Power went more than Max 27.50dBm and hit -54.90dBm , the modem will start searching for a different base station for reconnection.

after all the searching im still connected to the same 2.375Mhz,never change

any ideas?

i post your guide on the pinned thread, hope you dont mind

Where is the follow-up promised please ?

p1 buddy, i check the coverage map today, and realize that my area suddenly isnt in the coverage map anymore. im not at home right now so cannot check the connection, so my question is, did you remove the tower at my area?

my area is persiaran usahawan, seksyen u1, shah alam

I have problem with my connection speed and already emailed P1 yesterday - they replied by calling me just now.

They mention that my area (Cheras Utama) got congestion issue, and will be back to normal on 22nd December.
I hope from now onwards, P1 support can inform to all their affected customer instead of we ourselves as customer need to figure out by ourself.

Added on December 16, 2009, 5:51 pmI also faced the same issue, just realize my area has been wipe out from the coverage map
Maybe they are upgrading their tower and they show the current status of the coverage??

...or removing the areas with congestion from the coverage map to somehow stop the influx of more users in the area while the towers are being upgraded/fixed.

16/12/2009-SECOND DAY CAN'T REALLY USE INTERNET(took more than 30 minutes to add this line in)


P1, don't ask me to email the picture to you cause i can't even attach it to my mail! Remember the date i posted here and check it out for the next 5 days cause the result would be the same or worst.

And there will be a day which i can use P1 to the fullest.

How i know? cause i had been facing it since MARCH. and yes i did called, nothing has been done, and yes i did reposition the modem and it didn't solve my problem up to 80%, and yes i did reset the modem and it only works like 20%, and yes i did hang the modem out side the window with a hangar like an idiot and it only sove my problem for like an hour and doesn't work all the time.

So please, instead of sending another technician over doing what others had done before, might well just give me a solution rather than another round of act.

Appreciate this post cause it took many minutes and many F5.

FYI: luckily i copy this post before submit cause i got more than 20 timeout!!

Your area is still in coverage. P1 did not remove the tower from your area.
