QUOTE(husagi @ Aug 6 2007, 01:38 PM) Final note: I don't think I'll be doing further testing on iBurst after today since I'm returning the card to its rightful owner. Hope this is helpful to those who are curious/interested in their service. Sad sad, it would nice to get more feedback. Husagi, 4G xpert  Well iBurst is a TDD system. If memory serve me right. Time- webbit is also TDD. Will users of iBurst experience like what happen to webbit when their subscriber increase? |

QUOTE(JinXXX @ Aug 9 2007, 12:02 PM) so if you want the best speed and all its better to subscribe early and use it You're assuming they have sufficient capacity for you to sign up and maximise the usage of the service. What if they don't? You'll be wasting one whole year's of subcription just to test something that very few people have had positive experience with then terminate it after 1 year cause more subscriber and move on to the next available isp Looking at the bandwidth tests done by husagi, are you really going to be happy with 250kbps?  |

But for those who are daring and with deep pockets, this won't stop them from subscribing anyway... |

Package: izzipro Current Situation: 2 pc connected to a router then connected to izzi wireless modem. Speed: INCONSISTENT My conclusion: This ISP reali disappointed me. I tell u guys wat. I get 1kb/s just now. How ridiculous. Best effort so far i can see is 101 to 110kb/s. fxxk! i try to download apache-tomcat ver6 and eclipse. Around 80mb++. And my download speed is 15kb/s to 25kb/s. This figure make me stop download the file. how pity. Guys, and recommendation? either to enhancement this '4G wireless broadband' speed or got other better ISP available?.

QUOTE(DEC @ Aug 13 2007, 12:48 PM) Hi all! Can someone teach me how to "trace route"? took d plunge at pcf klcc wif usb terminal. ref above readings - assume lower ms=better speed rite? Pardon 4 silly questions but just trying to learn I assume that you run MS Windows. From your command prompt, type the following: Seems faster than my 3G tho but duno how to confirm. Can above test b done for 3G as well? So I can compare n know whether i choset a suicide route again?  CODE C:\> tracert -d some.domain.com You can also traceroute an IP address: CODE C:\> tracert -d 202.188.1.5 There are other software out there that lets you do traceroutes in a more visually appealing way, of course. But I don't use them, so can't quite recommend you any. A lower ms doesn't always translate to better speed. It also depends on the number of "hops" taken to the other end of the communication line. Some other factors apply too. This post has been edited by husagi: Aug 13 2007, 04:15 PM |

Unless they get a good review, many people will think twice before subscribing to a new ISP.

QUOTE(yongkailoon @ Aug 25 2007, 11:13 PM) Unless they get a good review, many people will think twice before subscribing to a new ISP. It's the hefty upfront costs that is keeping people away. People are asking, and rightly so, that if a new, untested, unproven company was to launch a service and demanded one full year's payment upfront, something must be fishy somewhere? Although they do have some sort of a money back guarantee, it seems to be such a big hassle for the customer. And there is insufficient positive user feedback so far about this service; if anything, the user feedback in this forum seem to be a mixed bag. |

QUOTE(DaViDcHiN @ Aug 27 2007, 02:26 AM) So all in all, SPEED is nice, but only at OUTDOOR, indoor = no connetion... Most, if not all, wireless broadband require you to be close to the "outside", ie. near a window, opening, etc. These signals don't penetrate deep into a sheltered structure. That's why you see Maxis and Celcom installing indoor base stations in busy shopping centres to address this. UMTS/HSDPA signals are the same - the further inside a house you go, the less the signal becomes. Most people lose HSDPA signal completely once they are inside the house, away from windows.-.-" Who's going to online outside?!?!!! Under the sun? Kopitiam? Sure no aircon 1, those got aircon is indoor 1.... Disappointed leh... If anyone wants to have some information on ping times, tracerts, etc on the Izzi network, post them here and I'll do them once I've finished downloading |
