Eh? What RM180? IIRC, the RM180 is only deducted if you cancel within 7 days or 1 month. After that, they just charge you your package's monthly price. So for the IzziPro package, the charge is RM 118 per month. Of course you won't get the activation fee (RM82) refund lar

It is good for those who stay around KL PJ Klang who are able to get higher speed and want to download/surfing a lot.
My celcom 3g only able to get 10 to 14KB/s transfer rate. but the good thing about 3g is, I can bring it with me to Johor, Melaka, Port Dickson, Kuantan, Ipoh, Penang. Even a small town like Tangkak also have Celcom 3g. And when I go back hometown, althought it is only 2.5g, but it is stable and quite ok for email. |

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?

QUOTE(wr6969 @ Sep 22 2007, 06:45 PM) arjen, I'll join you in cancelling! I'm unsatisfied too with their quality of service. Like I mentioned, it used to be good when you first started, but then it goes downhill after that. It got so bad that I'm using it very little nowadays. It's much better to spend my money on 3G from either Celcom or Maxis. according to them, they have done troubleshooting n checking on satuday n sunday.they said everything is ok & no problem. but when i came back from hometown today, connection stil the same. yeah, the 1st 2 week when i just signed up, the speed running almost full from the package i subscribe. but after that, hahaha. just like a dial up connection.

I read about iZZi broadband in a magazine and was about to post a new topic in the thread when I stumble upon this thread..
Too bad that we have to rely on Streamyx as I do not think iZZi broadband can prefer a better service than Streamyx. From what I have been reading, seems that it is very difficult for iZZi users to get a line indoors and the overall speed is much lower than Streamyx. Even the customer support is not very good in dealings with problems.. Erm... than what about those who have been using iZZi and decided to terminate the service? kena penalty ar? |

it wud take a wired isp to rival streamyx. wireless nvr can match wit wired so b fair in ur statement. u cannot expect a wireless to perform equally to wired one .
Added on September 25, 2007, 12:10 am we can only hope wireless isp to improve but seeing our takapa country policies, limit so few thru license (no competition) so we as customers suffer, get subpar products too. tis situation i don need to remind u. Added on September 25, 2007, 12:13 am don misunderstand me. my area cant use maxis. celcom 3G equally priced wit izzi 1mb. streamyx hse no phone line so im stuck with izzi. in fact im not entirely satisfied with it recently This post has been edited by wayfeel: Sep 25 2007, 12:13 AM |

Well, for me at least, things have gotten from bad to worse. Previously my torrentflux server gave me 120KB/s. Then it dropped to 70KB/s. Now it's 45KB/s. Very soon it will drop to zero, and I hope the company ends up this way too

QUOTE(arjen_robben81 @ Sep 24 2007, 04:45 PM) Sorry for missing your question, arjen, didn't mean to ignore you I'm using the IzziPro desktop modem. It's by far the most powerful of the three devices, according to Kyocera's website. Signal strength is good to excellent, never dropping below 70%, often 80-90%, as reported by the iBurst utility. My guess is that the increase in new users has congested their base stations (there is only a small-ish number of concurrent users that an iBurst base station can support according to my research), as well as these additional users using up IzziNet's existing capacity. So, two factors are contributing to the slowdown in surfing/direct download/P2P - base station congestion and international capacity congestion. Since I don't have a utility program to query a base station to see its load, I can't prove this theory. None of the iBurst utilities out there which I've tested can show this information. |

first 2 weeks use, even raining, speed still lik full blast.
recently, the line is very bad is it? as if theyr maintening the antenna or wht i dono. even i get signal dropped below 50% oso got around wangsa maju lastnit. more feedbacks la ppl. if u guys really really wanto return even b4 3months duration, if i were u, i gonna blast the co. asking refund even b4 3 months lapse. if they say must 3 months according to t&c, u can say ur best effort basis is also against the t&c when i signed it. cus 100kbps & 1,000 kbps is a world of difference ,is not even close to best effort basis & i cud probly sue u for cheating customers with vast difference in service. ths might scare them, cus they new i doubt if they want bad publicity moreover, the staffs r very flexible in terms of payment n stuffs so if u threaten them abit tis way, i suppose u can get money refund wihout the 3motnhs lapse. my opinion la |
