New broadband service

KUALA LUMPUR: Local company iZZinet Sdn Bhd has just introduced its mobile wireless broadband service. 

Using iBurst technology from Kyocera, the service offers 1-megabit per second access speed for RM88 a month.

Users have to sign up for a one-year contract and get a free modem. The service covers Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, Cheras and Ampang.

Good news about them is that they do not seem to be connected through TMnet, so their connection to the rest of the world might not suck:

they will still all stick in KL before implement to other state 

coverage area arh? haiz... no eye see

see those Jaring(old ISP) broadband still only in KL, wimax, ... ALL　IN KL!

this arh... if want them to implement to malacca or jb side.. maybe gonna wait 2020... dunno all those isp stick in KL for what

well you should be lucky.. since KL fella will be the one to be cheated of their money first..
so in a way you should be thank full

hopefully when it reaches your place the network isn't saturated lol

Hahaha

Before everyone here gets too excited, I called them up to ask about the pricing and they said that the "RRP" stated in the price is the price that you have to pay upfront before you get the service. No monthly payment scheme (Not even a hint of risk free period if your area is not "well covered")

aiyah!! That is so so potong steam. Their website looking so canggih. Even their logo and branding of CPEs so lawa. B..b..but... paying up front a whole year's access fees... yikes! At this rate, they're not going to get much subscribers for starters.

Though I think they would've realized that even before they launched. So this is nothing more than a marketing hype to sign up a minimal base of subscribers (guinea pigs!!), while they figure out the stability of their network and coverage issues.

Good luck to them...

so how u think about jaring? the malaysia 1st ISP until now still in KL! ew...

i hope they test from malacca 1st better
