u wait after alot of people jump ship you will be slowed down also, then we'll see if the company at like tm or not...
Won't likely happen because so far none of the other isps give you any sense of hope when they are newly launch .
P1 Wimax is still struggling to offer anything close to 3-4mbps while Streamyx is near to useless in my area.
4mbps is as far as my line can go because of the old copper switch infrastructure in front of my housing garden.They still refuse to install a new remote fiber cabinet here at my area despite the high Streamyx subscription of homes here.My attenuation aret and SNR value is at the borderline already and it wouldn't allow any speed increase anymore.
Yes would not suffer the same fate as the other wireless isps because of their PAY as you use model. Bandwidth hoggers will be penalized heftily if they even try to act funny.
People could jump ship but could they afford to use it they way they abuse their Streamyx lines.
This network was meant to be use for mobile internet for convenience. It's not a fixed broadband line which works based on best effort basis with line contention.
You're charged based on your meter usage and in return you expect near leased line-like quality.

i think when more people come in, they need improve the bandwidth to feed so many people, if not, someday it may become like tm. but 1 things diffrent is pay as you use, tm didin't apply this rules, means you pay rm88, you can use 1gb, 2gb,10gb or even more... this is seem cheap for user, but this is nightmare for isp, since they only earn your monthly rm88, but you use more than you pay, every1 use the line 24 hours, every1 BT. how much the bandwidth need to feed so many user on9? this method seem not work, so pay as you use will be the trend of broadband, just like water and electric we use. Pay as you use, pay less if you use less, pay more if you use more...this is fair for everyone user.
When more people come in it won't cripple their charging model as every megabyte is charged just like your electricity meter.
They'll have enough bandwidth as more people joining would increase their revenue instead of TM's best effort pricing scheme which the telco have to think carefully for justification before increasing their bandwidth. They still continue to charge a flat rate monthly pricing and if the they don't achieve minimum subscriptions to justify the bandwidth upgrade they'll lose more money further.
Worst yet bandwidth hoggers will make things worst.
An area with just a small amount of subscribers but with just a few bandwidth hoggers will be enough to put your resources to waste.In this circumstances, if you're in the position of the telco would you still consider to upgrade your backhaul pipe just to keep these few bandwidth hoggers quiet?

got question...1) actually this payu system is pay what we used or only use what we paid ?
2)is it true that after our credit limit/data usage finished we will directed to the YES pages ?
because im using DU meter...from the report till now said i already used over the free data usage 10G,but still can surf and download more ...
afraid my account will shows negative next month..

Minimum commitment is RM30.You need to use up this minimum amount every month to keep your line active.
So to put it clear RM30 top up is a must monthly.
No credit limit involve whereby you would get a bill shock! such as Maxis. Minimal risk.
Say you top up RM100 and someone stole your password.He used it all up.Once your credit hits RM0, your account gets suspended and you can't surf anymore. That is when you know your password has been stolen because of the unrecognized usage.
Thing to watch out is you need to estimate how much usage you need before using. You might not want to have your line interrupted in an important call or internet session.
