i see that their marketing is mostly everywhere but nobody is applying ? ..
something must be wrong for it to receive such cold treatment..

its an alternative to sucky streamyx, but if it sucks too then too bad lol smile.gif

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

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.

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  wink.gif

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

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 wink.gif"

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

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

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

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 ?

allanphang,

why u say ur bt dl  only 40kbps.
bt dl IS IN kBps de. i can get 80kBps which translate to about 700kbps. in my iB status bar dl rate in kbps ~300-1200 with good avg 900 kbps

900/8 =1xx kbps =dl-ding 80kB +other surfin/FF/MSN 20KB
make sense to me.

11pm-11am total 3.7Gb DL is tht good by bt standard? i dono cus not familiar with bt


Added on September 5, 2007, 11:18 ami don mean to sound selfish but why do ppl seed. any technical reason?
its easy to end it after uve finish UR portion. but human r selfish by nature, don argue with me, i study ethics.

so seriously, any other reason than just being pure generous?
*
well got 24 hours 3.7GB is considered not bad.. tongue.gif @ least its better then screamyx.. tongue.gif
well the most optimal/ideally will be

800kbps X 60 Sec X 60 Minx X 24 Hours = 69120000kbps = 8640000KBps = 8.6GB for 24Hours continues download

i choose 800kbps as it will be most optimun dl speed for a 1mbps line..

well there are two reasons people seed
1. to help local peers
2. to give back something

leechers should be shot and killed

wafeel

ya same with urs, the link speed show in the iBurst terminal changing every second.
what i mean is when u 'save target as' from certain link, sometimes it went up to 100kB/s - 120kB/s.however, another link shows only 40kB/s to 70 kB/s. so i think that's depends on that server itself.
*
has anybody tried downloading the same file from the same server(rapidshare best example) during different times of the day ? eg every 6 hours ? or something like that to test ?

so far the review for izzi has been 50/50 which doesn't seem to give a strong indication of their service performance..

honestly, after paying premium price, of cos i expect premium speed. it don hit rock bottom speed. i only complain if it drops below premium speed. u know wht i mean?
PS: im not an agent, i just inject hope into new tech smile.gif if this newtech is really reliable, its a real blessing to msia custs

yeah man.. i understand you tongue.gif

QUOTE(wr6969 @ Sep 12 2007, 08:59 PM)

Do your own research on the iBurst technology in online forums.  I've done my own research and have concluded that it's not the best thing since sliced bread; some online forums will tell you this too.  I just subscribed for the heck of it; and I intend to return the modem and cancel the service upon the three month anniversary to get my money back; so far this has been a rather expensive and unsatisfactory experiment on my part.  Others may have a different opinion though.

well like they say, different people , different location different outcome...
but mostly i'm just following the outcome.. good review vs bad review..

unstable connection on izzi tonite. speed only 100 to 600kb/s even signal strength is 100%. dun know what happen.i cant even play online game.sigz.. hopefully only tonite or else i will terminate the contract in the 3rd month.

according to their technician, they claimed that there was earthquake in indonesia n affected the undersea cable. but did not promise when could solve the problem...! how come ah

are they stupid or dumb ?

how could an earth quake in indonesia affect a submarine cable that goes to taiwan ?
or they are just thinking we(customers) are dumb..

btw i don't see any complain about subscribers in sg have bad internet ..

Just to gloat...  rclxm9.gif

As I write this, I touched 100KBps on BT through Izzi !! Woo hoo!

Average for the past hour has been more like 70KBps to 80KBps though (plenty good enough for my needs). Comparing this to Screamyx and Maxis Wireless BB (which I used for 9 months), it's nothing short of miraculous...

This is indoors (at my office - 2nd Floor) very close to KLCC. Signal strength is 95% to 100% (I think, extrapolating from eyeBurst reporting -80Db upwards).

Strange, when i first using iburst, i can easily torrent at 70-80kbps, but soon after i can only reach 20-30kbps, hmmm...i wonder whether they tracked ya usage and if u exceeded the limits per month, they slow u down. Any idea?

or the other possibility is that more and more subscriber is subscribing and their network can't take the load ? tongue.gif

i found that the download speed is much more faster during the morning time, achieved 70-80kbps for xunlei.

however, DL speed during night time sucks. <10kbps.

i think is due to conggestion during nite time...
*
well streamyx , and all blady isp problem in malaysia in congestion.. can't they just upgrade and add a few more "pipes"....

i think in the long run, adding more pipes is better, rather then investing in throttling application, which in the long run costs more to maintain..

About the tracker timeout, happened to me as well while downloading a file. On sunday it's all good. Then at monday night (10 pm+) I noticed a timeout from a tracker. But later after a few hours it managed to connect back. I don't know if it's related to the problem above ^, but I have never got error from this "particular tracker" before.

And no, it's not mininova, meganova, torrentspy bla bla whatever. Stop guessing.
*
time out from the tracker ? are you able to ping the tracker ? maybe izzi doing some unannounced upgrade and maintainance this giving problem to the site ? that is one of the possibilities..

hi just a question i would like to know..
it has been a while since izzi has been around..

did some of you see some performance improvement since the 1st day you subscribe or a decrease of performance since the 1st day you subscribe..

cause as time goes by performance should increase but what i'm seeing is a decrease sad.gif

More users = more load = more load = performance decrease

Same goes for streamyx. Have you tried streamyx back in 2001 or so. Their 384Kbps and their 512Kbps package was blazing fast. People could download at very fast speeds. Less downtimes and things like that. It was great back then. But then take a look now..It goes same for any kind of ISP. When there are more users , there would be more load on the server...Same goes to my Maxis Wireless
*
well shouldn't it be

more users = more revenue = more $$ for upgrade = more customer satisfaction ?

guess such theory doesn't apply to malaysia money hogging business style sad.gif

I would support JinXXX saying.
More users = more revenue = more $$ for upgrade.
But as you can see... there aren't that many users at the moment. but i am sure when it starts to boom, upgrading service would be tremendously fast..

they are building 4 extra signal post in Damasara Perdana, Kepong,Serdang and Cheras 9th mile... the would be a good start.
*
well for your part of upgrading service would be tremendously fast, its kinda hard to eat such words.. based on history of "scream my ass" ... tongue.gif

how would you come by such knowledge ?, that there are 4 extra signal post ? , if can i would like to see the location of each transmission tower for iburst on their izzi website..

any info about the ETA to fully completion of those towers ?

Oh... by the way jinxx, i was told that the signal post would not be given the exact location... this is to prevent users to  have conflict of coverage...
ex: if a user knows where the exact location is, the user would move to the nearest he could get thus making that area loaded....I hope you get what i mean.
*
well if more people move there.. then they should upgrade it to support the amount of users what..

dont tell me next time they are going to give us the bullshit not enough port/bandwidth for that particular tower and all ? , i think users have enough of this kind of bullshit from providers already..

JinXXX, i know that you are being skeptical about this. but heck... didn't i say that there aren't that much user yet? don't you get it? lets say there are 1000 subscriber... 100 of them goes to the same signal tower... the rest are distributed evenly.... what about those that is slightly futher from the tower?

Sometimes you can't just stand on one side to talk about things... try to stand on both sides... i am standing on both sides to review about izzi cuz i plan to get one next month. THats why i am reviewing every single customer's feedback here.
*
well i understand what your trying to show/say, but then we are people/humans we look @ history , and we tend to compare from there...

on your other posts about iburst technology, there have been great reviews OVERSEA.. but remember its OVERSEA with different people implementing it, there are two kinds of business..

1. make money
2. provide a proper service to the country..

based on history and all, for malaysia is mostly point no.1 , but we all can argue over this.. but then let's wait and let the customer/subscriber share their experience tongue.gif

Hi, Raya is ain't an reasonable excuse for them to postpone the base station to be on air on time, dude.
At first they said will be ready on air on 15th Sept. Luckily that time i haven't subscribe izzi yet (Afraid they will delay).
Next update from izzi, 4 site will be on air on 30th Sept. As predicted.
Finally i tot they should be ready on OCT soon. I was subscribe it. Now i was just like paying the money but w/o getting their service.
Do u think is fair for me? Although is said to be tentatively to be ready, but they shall keep their promise ma ...
no offense, just my opinion and express out my dissatisfaction.
*
yeah true they can't take a public holiday as an excuse.. if they learn PM, they should know to include such days into their deployment..
if its technical reasons i'm willing to forgive, as i have done technical network based implementation so i understand sometimes..

certain things needs to be configured differently tongue.gif ..

another thing on another matter.. the so called wimax.. until today there is no news what so ever.. when we are promised its deployment end of this year November is coming and we are all waiting and waiting..
