check the thread a few pages back there was a talk and etc on trace/ping time and etc...

well thats true i doubt they will install a wireless repeater in house like shopping complexes

you mentioned "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 "

meaning you have access to izzi and can provide us trace/ping time ?

Repeaters are not cheap, it is highly unlikely that they will do so. You're more likely to strike the jackpot in the lottery

Yes, I signed up. I have the IzziPro device, using the Ethernet connection, not USB. I am not in their coverage area but I can get a signal.

Any requests?

well they can get those so called nano-repeaters, based on ASDL tech..

your not in their coverage area but you can get a signal ? ok some people are in the coverage area but get no signal

so far how good/stable is the link/bandwidth ? &
how stable is the ping time, will the device lags after lets say 24 hours for a month ?

Link/bandwidth is rather stable so far. I have premium accounts for HTTP file hosters, so can usually max out my download at around 110-120KB/s. No disconnects, even after continuous session of heavy downloading. P2P sucks, big time.

As for ping time, be more specific. I can't answer motherhood type questions.

As for lagging, sorry, I switch off my modem every night as I have to place it on the grille to get the best reception (remember that my area supposedly has no coverage, so I'm getting coverage from a far away base station ). And the longer you switch something on continuously, the higher the chances of the device going kaput. And since you can't simply walk to LowYat and buy an iBurst terminal modem, I am not taking that chance not knowing what Izzi's RMA process is like (although they do give you "rebates" for downtime caused by equipment failure).

My offer to do some ping tests and trace routes still stands, but it won't be forever

Ask quick before I lose my generosity!

wr6969: no one taken up your generous offer yet?? Lamerz.

OK. I'll bite, since you're using their desktop modem, which would, by right, have higher dB gain than the PC card form factor, especially for the uplink.

So here's the poser. In my earlier tests, I consistently got ~250kbps for DL and about half of that for UL in speedtests to MetroFON. Can you do better than that with your modem? I'm curious because you've managed to achieve a downlink of nearly 1Mbps (110-120KB/s).

i admire your generosity but more important your bravery for subscribing to the service even though u know that its not in your area. u must be downright wealthy or really desperate for broadband. no puns and flames intended.

Izzinet called me & talk abt their new service is up and alr using in wangsamaju here. he told me students in the past 1 wk has been using n no complain i dono true onot rm88 (for laptop only) cheapest. now i feel like wanto try it

Added on August 30, 2007, 11:05 amohya. i live very very near to the source (i know is unhealthy) and i surf indoor. they say no dl cap speed/bandwidth. wat u think. u think itl work for me? 88rm(1mb) x 12=1056

maxis 68rm (384kb upto 512kb but i think tis one once in few moons) x 12(lock 18 months)+rm100 activation=916rm
98 (7xxkb~1.5mb) x12 (same 1.5yrs lock)=1176rm

so wat u think

Trace complete.


So... wat does the result mean? I traced www.yahoo.com.... agree tho the outside speed seems to be faster than in-building. Fine for me as I'm always moving about and accessing even in kopitiams, mamaks and offices. Maybe psychological (since I invested $$) but I'm more satisfied with this than my previous 3G:-) hehe...

BTW, is there any other tests I can run besides tracert? Or any other test anyone wana test this izi? Letme know but gotta instruct me how to do it ya. Just wana learn more from all of ya ere... Dun mind sharing info since I'm already on this... cheers! And Selamat Hari Merdeka! Hapy 50th Birthday to beloved Malaysia!!

Haha, only one single bite...gotta work on my lure

Here are the test results, to the same KL server, as well as Penang and Cyberjaya servers. Tests done three times.

Tests done at 1330 MST, 30 August 2007. May do another identical test at night if sufficiently motivated

KL:



Penang:



Cyberjaya:



Ah, I've reached my quota of attached images per post. Someone post a reply, and I will post the remainder of my test results - from TMNet, Jaring and Izzi's own speedometers, as well as my terminal status screenshots

BTW, to preserve much of my anonymity, I am posting this reply from Celcom's 3G. In case a mod looks at the panel and wondering why is it that an Izzi user is using Celcom's service to post

Added on August 30, 2007, 2:48 pmNo offense taken, cause I'm a pretty stupid person. What to do, when you're a wireless broadband junkie? At the last count, I have a couple of Celcom's 3G lines, Izzinet, and countless other wifi hotspots at my disposal

You should pity me actually - I am now a very poor person because of this obsession with all things wireless

This post has been edited by wr6969: Aug 30 2007, 02:48 PM

Haha. You should use a bigger bait next time.

Hmmmm... The downlink to the KL server (MetroFON) seems to be the same as what I got. Though your uplink is obviously better, as expected.

Yes, do please post. Thanks.

As promised, here's part deux.

Jaring's speed test



TMNet speedometer



Izzi's own speedtest



I've leave people to comment on these test results. One thing I have to say though - testing even to Izzi's own speedtest server doesn't give me at least 80-85% of subscribed speed - I wonder if I can ask for a proportional rebate for not getting the bandwidth I paid for?

Here's my iBurst terminal "About" screens showing signal strength and also hardware/software information on the terminal:

Mind sharing the test site address please? Didn't izi ...or izzi.. (spelt it wrong till now) hehe... Theoretically, your results indicate the speeds are lower than 3G but thus far I'm more satisfied with izzi than my previous 3G based on actual use. So does it mean my 3G is slower than the 200+kbps you charted? Plz plz let me have the test sites ya... like to satisfy my curiosity Thanks ya!

Wow awesome results wr6969. Very very much appreciated for all your trouble.

655 kbps for a 1mb line? Man.. thats sorta looked bad o_O;

No problems. Just helping out.

655kbps for a single thread.

Pssst - don't tell them, but if I use around 6/8 simultaneous threads to download something from HTTP/FTP, I get around 110/120 KB/s. Been downloading like a crazed madman (oxymoron alert! ) for the past week (catching up on some good TV series )

Now to figure out why P2P speeds suck so badly when they claim that they do not throttle P2P (for now). Strangely enough, P2P streaming via Octoshape works just fine (most of the time). Octoshape's performance sucks on Celcom's 3G network, but works fine on Izzi's.

@DEC:

The test websites:

(1) http://www.speedtest.net

(2) http://www.izzi.com.my/speedtest

(3) http://202.188.95.52:8080/speedometer/

(4) http://www.speed.jaring.my/

Some prefer testmy.net but I've never gotten accurate (at least to me) results from there, so I avoided them. I can do them, if someone asks

Hope they help!

I'd take that with a pinch of salt. It could be server-side limitation. 655kbps, to me, is quite good already when you juxtapose that result to the other speed test results.

Considering how speed tests to networks outside of Izzi consistently stays below ~300kbps, and yet, you're able to achieve 655kbps within, there's only one conclusion in my mind... their upstream provider sucks.

Hmmmm.... broken bandwidth shaper at AIMS? Hehehehe.

I would bet my life (almost...) that this is indeed what it is.

I doubt it. I get almost consistent results with Celcom3G. Only with a download manager downloading using multiple threads for the same file can I reach what I term an "acceptable" speed. Same goes for Streamyx, especially with those file hosters with whom I have premium accounts. Oh heck, who cares, so long as I get close to what I paid for, yeah?

Haizzz.... after read all of these.... better stick to Streamyx.... atleast it still has good IP for a litle bit fast connection.

Ok..if near window but wnidow close...is the collection still available?

Added on August 31, 2007, 11:55 pmIn izzi.com...

I saw a picture where a people playing with his laptop in the car while the car is moving with window close....

So means...in the car still got connection, but how come some people say close window = no connection?

i m subscribing izziyou package.

here is the test result at my area ( miharja , staying at 8th floor )

only around 75% of 1mb package but sastified me as my area only streamyx coverage. so i rather go for izzi.
