Almost 3 weeks now, my P1 WIMAX broadband is DEAD SNAIL pace and after much of their advertisement on TV, Newspaper and signage, its just as worst or more worst i can say as compared with Streamyx. I am really, really disappointed with P1 WIMAX.

Just curious, anyone out there got the same problem as me? I am located in Air Itam, Penang.



I want to POTONG my P1 WIMAX broadband subscription now!!

whats your speed test?

and whats your reamaining usage?

Agree with ipodasia. Mine P1Wimax is ok in this few months ( around 2 months before), then start on november and december, already start disaster. I'm from batu uban, Penang.

1. Connection is good and connected (green light stable) but no connection.
2. Slow, lagging on loading website up to unreachable connection.
3. Low signal, sometimes red (unable to connect) for whole day + the next day.

Now, Orange light with slow speed.. Might affecting Penang user only or throughout malaysia ?..

you guys check your RSSI?

what your RSSI?

P1 also use TM infrastructure.
P1 rent TM line and resell it for all.
Main lines are from TM, but the tower which to connect to the end users are from P1.
Like DiGi broadband, they use Time Dot Com infrastructure, but you connect to DiGi.

I need to terminate P1 Wimax next year but i don't know which broadband should i subscribe......=.=
TM Net and Maxis HSBB? When will promo in the market?

not slow for me:



but pingtest it sucked.. droped from grade B to D



anyway the line is still fast so im ok with it.. signed up for 2 years plan

at least better than my phone line lar.. now keep disconnecting dunno what's the problem with TM... afraid fix streamyx later no need online for weeks wait for technician come zz (2nd time happened)

wah... 2 years you should pay 2 years payment if you don't want use wimax?
Luckly i signup 1 year only, this month finish....
Consider sign back streamyx still need under contract if i re subscribe Streamyx

what can subscriber do if the P1 line quality keep worst within the two years (contracted)?



This post has been edited by iRonTech: Dec 14 2009, 11:08 AM

The dealer said the termination fees is RM99. Don't know about paying the rest 2 years.

u sure they are using the tm infrastructure?

i notice even my streamyx 2 mb package is getting worse nowadays.

man, this new isp is creating more problems than what is meant to do. Gov should boycott this kind of isp.. from tumpang here and tumpang there.

Can u imagine how slow P1 Wimax??
It takes now more than 10 minutes to complete Speedtest.net and 12 minutes to finish their own P1 Wimax speed test!

what the..... even tm 1515 dial up could complete speedtest.net less than 10 mins

Yes. I have attached upload speed... really really sucks and F**KS

Try complain to newspaper.

Ipodasia

I think you should try relocate your WiMax Modem. In my case, my room is the only one which have green signal, yet this few weeks only get orange signal. Other area, either orange or red signal. But, yesterday because of inability to withstand the slowness, i move the modem to other places in my house. Surprisingly, i get one area that has green signal. Since then, my connection is very much improved. I think P1 have somehow relocate their com. tower or something like that, so, you might want to try this.

Today connection

Ping test

Most of the time, its green signal and i moved the modem from one place to another and also different direction but still very very slow!

Well.. its like my case in early december. Got green signal yet no connection at all, not even slow connection.. Ermm.. You should perhaps lodge report with P1 about your Wimax problem.

Today's P1 Wimax speed


Attached thumbnail(s)

why so much complaints but u guys are still using it.. above 1MB is good enough lar.

they did give 1 week trial, if not happy or coverage not good by that time can return back already.

u can switch back to TM streamyx, up to you, and bear with TM's lousy support, monopoly and risk of long downtimes.

the choice is yours lar, u the consumer decide. P1 ain't that bad... if u really wanna point out whose the real culprit, it's TM monopolizing the fixed line broadband and making crap outta it.

We complaint because we want people to know the actual situation faced by unhappy P1 Wimax customers. So anyone who wants to subscribe P1 Wimax may faced the very slow speed. Yes i agree the download is above 1MB but please look at the upload speed !!

The speed is good first 1 month but last 1 month its very very slow. Someone got to tell their predicament so that others can be warned.

1mb download speed is already very good IMHO....yeah...the upload is slow but then again, you are not paying RM200 for a 10mb upload link right? so you get what you paid for....

As said, i have no complaint with the download speed but since the upload is 2-10kbps, the sending of data to remote system is slow and therefore, the whole process is slow. Moreover, i take ages to email out attachment above 400kb.. u get what i mean!

u have to accept it...

Geez, I'm paying for 1.2Mbps dumb** ! What is this ? Signal is green but speed suck a** ! Agreed with most of you here. First month good speed, but nowadays like a freaking snails. Those who consider to POTONG better not, it is just as worst as Streamsh*t.

Today i cant even do Speedtest.net as i can't go into any website at all. It just hang up and after that Page Load Error!! The connection to server was reset while the page was loading.

F**K P1 Wimax

This post has been edited by ipodasia: Dec 23 2009, 12:10 PM

thankfully i avoided P1.. seems like the 'after 1mth slowdown' myth is true

time to un-potong?

give us full throttle within 1 month
but after subscribe more than 3 months i just get 30kbs download speed overall for home package plan (1.2mbps)

my recomendation for high end user... plz dun use the service of yours if u got a hell of things to download... capping is on best effort basis

Been Struggle for a year of contract.

Finally terminated the service.

Registration and payment then Activation take 24 hours

Termination, once they enter your details in to computer. Your Modem cant connect instantly.

I thought i would try Wimax as i have been using streamyx for years. Generally the download is good, but the UPLOAD speed sucks bigtime. That means i cant webcam to family in UK, i cant VOIP etc, it even took 2 mins to upload a very small .doc file to my hotmail.

Sometimes its good, sometimes its bad. Streamy is stable, always 420kbs upload speed.

why use hotmail? got try gmail uploading or not? i upload anything takes me seconds with it...

upload FB pics also just upload all, go shower, come back kau tim. Upload pics to photobucket also fast.

Using package 99... i dont find upload a problem.

I just got P1, i will return it, so far i find the download speed acceptable, and some times faster than streamyx, but upload speed, is incredibly slow. You can not have decent broadband without upload, how to do webcamming, VOIP, upload pictures to facebook.

Now it may improve, but i do not want to be locked into a two year contract if this is what im going to get.

Whatever it is, streamyx have always been the best in Malaysia, when i do have a problem they try to fixit. My speed is stable. STAY WITH STREAMYX.

---

Added on January 2, 2010, 3:01 pmThis is the problem, upload is very unstable and yours is still half that of streamyx. Try webcamming, and VOIP, yours would not be good.

Anyway they gave me 7 day trial, i have seen enough not to want to use them. They salesman in Digital Mall lied and told me i could get a refund on the spot in head office, i found out its 45 days.

The main problem i have is that they lanch a huge campaign withought haveing the capacity to cope, but they lock people into a 2 year contract, 7 day trial period is not long, and then 2 years contract, it can be very very slow, but under the terms you still have signal so can not break contract.

Its one sided contact with no consumer rights

Went outstation for over 10 days and come back hopefully, P1 WiMax line is better... Sigh... still the same... did speedtest.net test.. takes over 15 minutes to complete the test..

Result?
*download speed - 1.16mbps -- good
*upload speed - 0.005mbps -- F**K

i guess u shud just stick to streamyx... when can switch?

Guys the speed depends on which area you are in.


Congested areas usually will have slower download/upload limits, and people start to complain, that's when P1 take actions. They will ask their technicians to install more towers or upgrade the towers in that particular location.


It has nothing to do with 'after-1-month-throttle'. All you have to do is complain to P1 and ask them to improve the towers nearby. Please don't go around b!tching P1.

This post has been edited by leelc99: Jan 16 2010, 10:00 PM

+1 to leelc99..

that is what I wanna hear from a P1 user...

we have testified that it is good.. so stop making P1's name sour for no reason.

we can jz forget the ping test actually.... wbb is very hard to achieve A in pingtest, the only major problem about p1 that occurs almost everyday is super slow upload, but at least faster than the test in my sig

one of the earliest customer, actually wimax technology is okay , greed for

more customer + money and thats why congested accusation use now ,

they gave good speed within cooling period and then .. thats is bad . when

you ask cs - your area is congested , we try to do our our best

after contract over then sure bla adi after that..

i'm still monitoring mine, but it seems performance did dipped a little.. maybe more users at area now.

in KL, got good thing (infra), sure must share, is sooner or later
coz too many ppl here already haha...

Nearby here is in the congested list too...most of the time DC & DC

Complain to P1 careline if your place is congested and frequently getting disconnection so they know that the tower in that area needs to be upgraded or another new tower needs to be added.

getting tired of wireless... next will consider TMnut streamyx... no choice wireless lack the word stability.

and i hope the government could remove the monoply of TM streamyx on the local wired broadband.. and encourage more competition. Currently it's just stupid seeing only TM offering such an important service?

TM is manage by Khazanah which is also part of Government's income, do you think they will open?

Jus to share my experience for using the P1...

My P1 connection is down since 11 Nov 2009, call CS many many times.... they said bcoz the modem is not updated yet, and need to be updated. Ask me to bring the modem to their HQ... ok... do as wat they told... after tat, call up the CS again coz stil no connection and they said will fix it 24 HOURS later...
Guess wat?? until now i stil haven got my connection back!!! !@#$%^&*

The BEST part is everyday i called up, different CS will ask me wats the STUPID problem again n again... til i fed up n ask the CS go look at the complaint notes... and then fr tere wait 24 HOURS again.

This is totally unacceptable to have 2 month no internet connection and you should bring this to CMC and ask P1 for refund!

--- .... potong saja -lah .... as what they say ... ... .....

Oh ya... forgot to tell...

Their CS can buta buta said the connection is resume when i called them for the waiver

I shouted back at them said stil no connection then onli they agree file in the application for waiver

But until now the waiver stil not reflected in my account

My friend just P1 since last 2 week, the first 7 day is fine and connection is stable, just entered to day 8, the signal drop and he received sms said the base station is upgrading now. After that, every 2 days the signal will drop until yesterday still the same..... I heard someone said the P1 modem in-build with booster and it will boost to the max during the testing period and the booster will shut down after tat and your line will up and down like yoyo.

Well most of them were WTF.
Better their telco engineer become the care consultant...
Same like me, they have no idea about what happen here...
Well im subscribe office plan and what i get is .52kbps and freqent dc...
They failed in 4g data specrum... Haiz... Expensive and slow.. .

it should be ok 1.2mbs dl speed and 500kbs upload for p1
but, the problem is the payment and the bills...sometimes we forget to pay coz dont have a bill...they will cut of the line then if you make a payment it will be back for 3 days...for maxis its just 1 hour or 2 hours the line back again..i maintain my speed coz i limit my dl...if you use to much your speed become slow,......on my maxis the speed was almost same as p1...

there's someone on my facebook who posted a very angry comment about p1.
regardless whether it's true or not, i don't want to commit to anything else and stick with my tmnet.

Hi All,

I am have a very slow upload using P1 previously. (Speed virtually - stall). And call up their CS, which is sucks too...

after complaint and complaint, they pass the case to level 2 engineer and found that its due to the signal is weak.(Dunno why, previously was ok 1).

Then they offer me an Outdoor CPE, means find the one big modem outside the house 1. with the outdoor cpe, i only can get wat RSSI -68 and CINR 24.....but the speed is back to normal, 1.2Mbps down, ~500k upload.

So if you are facing upload slow problem, i guess might due to the modem cant punch back the signal to the base station. i think u might consider to get outdoor cpe.

hope this can help

*(Streaymx is very slow in my area, i keep complaint for the same problem for more than 3 years and finally only get resolve after complaint to MCMC)

they bear the cost?

so far i use my P1 no problem..

but after hear so much complaint.. once finish 2 years will switch to TMnet.

P1 still got limitations, like slow upload and cant play online games... will lag teruk

However~you can try to complain them~to get a month fees weave ~ hehe~ at least they will compensate if you drop a message on their facebook and their customer service~XD

guys....

my speed today...



i think it's good..
for 99 a month...
subscribing for 4 month now.. no MAJOR snail speed yet...

p1 glory......

I can't really understand some of the guys crying and shouting here.

If you're mad because of the connection problem then i can understand.

If you mad because you have exceed the limit and getting slower download speed, IMO YOU ALL ARE CRAZY.

20gb / 30days = 666mb / day.

666mb / 24 = 27mb / hour

It's more than enough for everybody.

We should think of others. We all share the same boat.

Those torrent downloader is the reason broadband in M'sia become so slow.

Be considerable and reasonable. Everybody wants a piece of internet so just because you want to download a lot of things doesn't mean others have to suffer for you.

yeah..terminated my p1 without any penalty fee(still have 13month contract). yeah...after suffering with the poor connectivity and poor CS for couple months.
i will sign back streamyx, any 1 got better suggestion

use p1 wiggy...
very2 fast connection...
at midnite can up 1mb normal is 600kbps - 800kbps

streamyx i register for pakage 1mb but i test can't get 1mb but 512kbps
myfwen also register stremyx pakage 1mb but can't get 1mb..512kbps also..

It is what Tmnut is doing for the past donkey year , i believe everyone of us are the victim in tmnut (Still now i also the victim no choice in my area). Calling the doing the same stupied thing .

I wonder did they have L1 or L2 support on this..

It happen same in malaysia polictic . Revolution come in and time is needed to have change happen , we can't expect a totally new player to be good in a Tmnut territory
The more competitor the best around.

If my area got P1 Max, i will support them as my backup on my stremyx line .

Added on March 4, 2010, 11:04 pmeven cheaper than p1 cheap package which is 49 rite??

This post has been edited by axsk8er: Mar 4 2010, 11:04 PM

Hehehehe.. Damn good package ur getting. P1 really sux.



Look at the speed. So slow. Might as well downgrade to the lower package if like this.

Maxis...
hehehe

fren
i think you reach your quota

wow i thot they claim they internets the fastest with the potong thingy

its been a long time since i last see their TV ads~
congested i guess~ too many potong potong ppl

holla ppl....any of you of course know that p1 allocate you 20gb/40gb for download using p1(im usiing a multiple user)...but when i check on my self care account,a day by day passed, the number allocation for download decrease by 20mb per day...

somehow,i ask my fren to double check but not any of my fren download anything nor updating their antivirus.....who with me?

The moment you start google you already wasted a few kb, facebook a few MB, etc etc
Basically when you load a website, it "downloads" the information to your browser. That explain why even you didn't download anything.

but i also checked when my fren play on9 dota....it didnt move any single mb...can explain it to me?

This post has been edited by expandwhyze: Aug 9 2010, 02:34 PM

Play dota counts too, probably the system havent get updated?
Anyway surfing the net is consider "download" already, not just downloading stuff.

owh...how about watching muvie at youtube? still count as downloading?

Yes, streaming too.
Whatever you use with your browser is download already.

so lame r this p1...just now checked the quota remaining only 6gb.....zzzz

All the broadbands are the same la.
You don't want quota get streamyx

i have streamyx at home...im using p1 at college only....what broadband u use? or u use streamyx?

Oh, then nvm la since you have streamyx at home.
Im using celcom broadband.

how gud for u if comparing p1 with celcom broadband....include their quota and coverage area..

P1 gives more quota compare to celcom.
Both covers quite a LOT of places in the whole country.
Speed wise depedns on where you are.

how fast celcom broadband download and upload speed in average?
lets say just using a typical modem

Not that fast
Im just using the normal package which is only 384kbps
Can only download max at 50kb/s

owh....u have experiencing p1 before? it seems like u know better...

Hai meh? Asked them to pay my phone bill they refused.
And why I asked them to pay? Because I have to call them many-many times to get waiver.
At the end, I got only RM4 rebate. My phone bill to call P1, close to RM20.

Everytime also do upgrade. Technical problem also say do upgrade. Lousy hardware also say upgrade. Why keep upgrade to lousy hardware. Like this never ending la.

Added on August 11, 2010, 10:40 pmThey potong too much until got nothing to potong more.

p1 run out of money for advertising already... haha... they now even have a korean partner to feed them some capital....

yaya. For a company to give up about 25% of shares (please correct me if i am wrong coz it is been a while since i read that news) to a foreign company and did not mention any of sharing technology or some other benefit other than cash, it seems that they might need some cash for their operation.

Now they keep on promoting their prepaid plan and new modem. But i am not interested in the both plan because:

1. I do not want a monthly committment now. I want to use the prepaid once my p1 contract expires.

2. I already using the Digi Prepaid Internet Limited Edition. Their prepaid plan is not my taste. I am looking for a higher speed under prepaid package.

Right now, i am just tolerating with p1 only and wait for the contract to expire. Once expire, i will switch to Prepaid Internet fully.

yeah.. me too.
im just waiting for my contract with P1 to expire.

P1 has been down since ysterday night: http://twitter.com/P1W1MAX/status/24007036050

up until this evening, certain areas are still down: http://twitter.com/P1W1MAX/status/24094072591

I'm also very frustrated about P1. Their stupid technical procedure is rediculous, where by need to observer the consistency line for them.

Now really upset and regret to signed up 2 years contract. Already wasted one year. Always disconnect no service. Upgrade, maintenance, slow connection, seems never finish.

Latest joke, ask me to get Free Wiggy, paid RM49, then when my normal modem cant uses, i try wiggy. Then also same, cannot use. Then call up technical dept as usual, they said wiggy is only for outdoor lol.

Today, my 2nd consecutive day without connection from wimax. I wonder how many more days will continue and how many more days i need to wait for their 2nd lvl technician to reach me?

Added on September 18, 2010, 3:57 amtoday finally they reach my house. but same problem, and he said due to line congestion. Nothing happen, same problem after 5th day. I wonder tomorrow afternoon what they will said when I call them and complain again.

Judge it yourself. Is this service worth to subscribe?
