hahhaha, good idea of u
then let us pay u back monthly without charging so much at one go lar

Hmmm....its sad to know they are izzi sales guys here who are unscrupulous.. However, take my word for it sales guy are always salesman and they don't know much about technical issue.

What old data its just 2weeks. Am trying to share my experience here and some young punk trying to be rude. Youngster nowadays are really $^%$^&$^&^

FYI, I don't might paying premium for good service but I am only getting 10% of the promised bandwidth. You think its ok ?

Btw, I have antenna provided by izzi and I am staying in SS4, KJ. I intend to lodge complaint to MCMC soon but filing and accumulating all evidence first. Here's the latest result for Mr.Izzi to see for himself.

And another think, for those of you who are getting good bandwidth then I am happy for you. But in my case do you think its ok paying RM98 for <150kbps and getting cut off or unable to sent email at all ??

Common sense. Everybody has it, use it wisely.

I went to the demo at Giant Kelana Jaya.

Ping to local servers around 80-100ms, but as with other wireless service, it has some spikes at 120-150ms but generally stable at 80ms.

This looks promising but I did not subscribe because i want to wait and see first.Remember what happens to Jaring Wireless? Initially there was such a hype on it with hundred pages of post, but today died already.

I dont understand why there is no concerted effort by these local players to combine their resources to come out with a reliable wireless solution? TIme Webbit, Jaring Wireless, Izzinet, Umobile 3G -- why cant they just merge?

simple, all these hypermarkets are backup with solid parent companies and models that work. Wireless technologies only sound good on papers. The companies that run these services are mostly near-bankrupt (TIME and MITV). Which makes me think twice before i subscribe to any of their service.

Since you are so 'unfunny' and generous, perhaps you should subscribe to Izzinet and let us know your experience since you are so loud

Irrelevant.    people talk apple you talk orange.

every month RM89 is only valid for credit card members?

YOu could talk like a salesman, because it is your intention to sell , and I do not expect you to be impartial in your view on Izzinet.

ROTFLMAO!

Using big words do not make you look intelligent.  Kyocera manufactures the hardware for Izzi.  In fact, they are the only hardware manufacturer for iBurst equipment in the world, IIRC.  The only major customisation for each country that offers iBurst is the frequency it operates on.
When you distribute, aren't you selling the service?  Selling the iBurst hardware without the service is absolutely pointless, the hardware cannot be used for anything else apart from Izzi's service.

I am sorry if you think that it made me look intelligent. but lets put it this way... Kyocera is a huge company. They too wanted to market their product. Izzi is the sole distributor of the iBurst gadget. Kyocera wouldn't let Izzi fall that easily.I am not in the marketing line but i do understand a little of Marketing strategy.
If you think that Distributing is selling, i wonder, could you buy a BMW by just pure selling? and if the word distributing means selling, why would the word distribute come in the oxford dictionary.

Clearly you need to do a lot more careful thinking before you embark on such an ambitious endeavour.  You need to iron out those misrepresentations and inaccurate statements from your selling pitch 
More inaccurate assertions and incomplete market research.  If you subscribe to Maxis Internet2Go, there is no minimum contract period.  You can cancel anytime.  It's currently priced at RM99 monthly.  You do, however, need to buy a datacard or phone that is HSDPA capable to enjoy the service.  This is a one time investment.  In case you haven't noticed, subscribers pay for the hardware when you subscribe to Izzi.  How else can you explain the difference in pricing between Izzi's different hardware packages offered, when all other terms of service remain the same?

True enough that one needs to buy the datacard/HSDPA phone to use internet2go... and of course pay the RM99 monthly.... and yes... its a one time investment... If you did the calculation correctly, how much would that cost for Maxis Internet2Go plan + the datacard/HSDPA phone for 12 months? Which price is cheaper?

An alternative to Maxis would be Celcom - its Broadband product.  They have a daily plan, a monthly plan with speeds capped at UMTS, and a premier plan on HSDPA.  Again, as with Internet2Go, you need to buy your own modem.  And again, you can cancel anytime.

IZZi plan also could be cancelled anytime within 6 months period. But hey... they refund you though you need to give them back the UT. While the datacard/HSDPA phone would be stucked with you if you unsubscribe Internet2Go.

Contrast this with Izzi - you pay upfront, then when you want to cancel, you have to wait for a refund cheque.  With the others, you just wait for the final bill before settling it.  And even if you opt for interest free instalment payments using your credit card with Izzi, you would still need Izzi's consent before your credit card company will cancel the remaining monthly instalments.  If there were no such controls, what's to stop me from buying an expensive product using interest free instalment, then unilaterally cancel my remaining instalments? 
Please post the technical specifications of your antenna here.  For example, frequency band.  Gain.  Horizontal/vertical beamwidth.  As far as I'm aware, there are not many manufacturers who produce antenna optimised for iBurst.  Even if they did, you still need to find one that covers the 1800Mhz frequency for it to make a difference for Izzi.

Yeah... you are right about the "Waiting for refund thing" But heck... whats wrong with that? it is the same with all other interest free thing.. and you are very knowledgeable regarding antenna and stuff... and i do not... 

And of course you're absolutely correct - signal strength and performance are different things.  Although it may seem logical to assume good signal reception gives better speed, this is not always the case.  With wifi, I've survived on 30-40% signal strength and still managed to download at 150KB/s.  If you play with wireless technologies often enough, you'll see what I mean.  I currently subscribe to Streamyx, Celcom HSDPA, and Izzi, and use wifi extensively, so maybe I know what I'm talking about

Unsubstantiated insults will get you nowhere my young padawan.  You have to learn to argue intelligently, backing up the points and assertions you make, otherwise you'll end up looking sillier in the eyes of fellow forumers.  And it appears that I am not the only one questioning your motives in posting all these rave reviews about the service.  But, I digress.  Let me begin my retort.

Once again, for reasons unknown to me, you have chosen to be totally inaccurate in your statements.  Out of the 4 wireless internet service providers (which 4 exactly are you referring to?  I only count the three major ones having a threshold of minimum service coverage, ie. Maxis, Celcom, and to a limited extent, Izzi), you mean to tell the people in this forum that Maxis is not mobile?  Even their home wireless broadband service is as mobile, if not more mobile than, Izzi's.  Of course the same goes for their Internet2Go service.  Are you deliberately leaving Maxis out of your arguments out of spite, because you've had a very negative experience with them before? 

Secondly, I have found nothing in your reply to warrant a thought-out reply from me.  You have attempted to cover up the deficiencies in your replies by making generalised statements without basis in fact.
What interest does Kyocera, a large Japanese company, has in the success of a miniscule Malaysian company apart from an arm's length relationship of selling its products, collecting the money due, and providing support?  Do you mean to tell me that Kyocera has a stake in Mobif/Izzi, the provider of this service?  I can't seem to find any publicly available information that this is the case, perhaps you can point us in the direction of one to back up your statement?  This is akin to saying that BMW wants Auto Bavaria, one of its distributors in Malaysia, to succeed, and that it cannot and will not let it fail.  This is pure hogwash.  They couldn't care less who does the distributing of their product, as long as anyone is capable of selling their products, they'll work with that party.

And you seem to be implying that if a large company is supplying you with the product, your company cannot fail.  History has shown that even when global, seemingly well run companies release their own products there is no guarantee of success - think about Betamax from Sony.  Think about what Sony is trying to do with BluRay now.  Think about Jaring's wireless service.  Think about Time's foray with its Webbit product.

Can you quote me authoritative studies of the rule where "large company = guaranteed success?" in every instance of its product launch?

To paraphrase Alexander Pope, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.  When people say they know a little, they think they know a lot and comment like an expert commentator, making all sorts of unsubstantiated statements and sometimes telling outright lies.

I really don't understand what you are trying to say here.  Got your panties in a twist is it?  What I am saying is that when you distribute anything, you are selling that product or service, directly or indirectly.  Why bring the venerable Oxford dictionary into your argument? 

Try to take a longer term view of this situation.  With Izzi, the product you buy cannot be used for anything else.  You own it after a year.  If you terminate, you'll have a hard time selling off the hardware to a very limited market.  With 3G/HSDPA devices, you can sell it easier, try looking in lelong.com to see how many HSDPA devices are on sale.  And if you already own a 3G/HSDPA phone, your hardware investment is nil.

Izzi's hardware is limited to 1mbps at the moment, perhaps 2mbps in the future.  HSDPA devices are already capable today of going up to 1.8mbps.  If you buy the right device, it will support up to 7.2mbps.  Speed wise, all other things being equal, you'll get more bang for your buck with a 3G/HSDPA service.  But of course this service is not for everyone, just like Izzi's is not universal panacea that some in this thread have made it out to be.
Sell off the datacard/modem/phone on lelong.com.  Plenty of buyers if you're not an unreasonable person when it comes to price.  It's not a throw away proposition when you buy a HSDPA datacard.  If Celcom doesn't work, try Maxis.  If that doesn't work, try U-Mobile.  With Izzi's hardware, you're stuck with Izzi, full stop.

And I've always wondered why there is no money back guarantee after 6 months - perhaps Izzi will just kill your connection on the 6 month anniversary.  After all, you can't cancel, so what are you going to do about it? 
Come on, my friend, you can do better than typing motherhood statements to back up your claims and statements.  Post something intelligent and which makes sense so fellow forumers can see that you are impartial when it comes to selling this service.
