Hei nobody mention either the Weather gonna effect the service or not like astro and jaring wireless.

I am willing to pay that much if it is true that they are not throttle P2P. afraid that its just a hype of a they marketing strategy, at the end they all like the STREAMYX THE SAMPAH!!!!

Just called Izzi Customer hotline and they say (at least) that they do not shape bandwidth for P2P services. If this is true, then well worth the additional cost compared to our favourite Screamyx. A little skeptical if this is true in the long run....

Yeah, but they did NOT say that they will not shape P2P traffic, right? tongue.gif

I believe that since they operate at 1.7GHz, rain attenuation will be an issue -- just like DiGi's 1.8GHz GSM service. But relative to those who operate at a higher band, it's slightly better.

They also said the service is now on in commercial/city centre areas, and will be expanded to residential areas (such as Bangsar) by end-Sept.

No risk-free trial yet.

Currently using Maxis Mobile Broadband - service not great (they definitely throttle P2P and reception on high floors limited) but I must admit the convenience of a wireless connection is very appealing.

Perhaps you want to read the T&Cs of service closely. It's available here ---> http://izzi.com.my/terms_condition.php

In particular, clause 10.6:

QUOTE
10.6 iZZinet reserves the right to suspend or terminate a Customer who consistently uses the Service to download or upload extremely high volume/content/traffic data. For the avoidance of doubt, the Service is not designed for consistent or extremely heavy users, particularly using peer-to-peer applications constantly or consistent use of any other applications that will have a detrimental effect to iZZinet Network's performance and that of other users' use of the Service.


wink.gif wink.gif wink.gif Don't go signing up without reading the fine print now!

And paying one year upfront without a clear explanation of dispute resolution? Hhhmmm... grumble.gif grumble.gif grumble.gif

well guess the truth is out and i can say .. izzi.. time to close shop tongue.gif
that's the worst statement that you can put, what the point of broadband when you can't broadband, using broadband applications aka p2p ?

other points to consider

1. suspend/terminate high bandwidth users
2. no statement regarding quality of service
3. no statement/info regarding iburst techology * we can just google this*
4. affected by rain/weather and etc or not..
5. no point subscribering.. since its wireless it will always have "wireless" loopholes
6. good luck, most of the subscriber of this site have made up their mind and well if there are those who subscribe, means your taking in desperate customers
7. no news/information about investment on your backbone and capacity support..

another company that will kick the bucket soon sad.gif next..

Malaysian ISP seems to hav a bad habit on using the term "Unlimited"....

say is Unlimited package, then they say "terminate a Customer who consistently uses the Service to download or upload extremely high volume/content/traffic data"..... how irony....

I called up the company and they told me with my iZZiPro, i am like having a hotspot at home, with the ability to support up to 21 users concurrently with no drop in speed. I have yet to try that. Howzat man

Before everyone here gets too excited, I called them up to ask about the pricing and they said that the "RRP" stated in the price is the price that you have to pay upfront before you get the service. No monthly payment scheme (Not even a hint of risk free period if your area is not "well covered")

Probably someone else here got better information that I do. Is everyone willing to plonk that much money into a service/company which has no track record of providing Internet service ? .... better think again coz they may not be able to deliver the quality of service after a few months and you are stuck with a 1 year contract and a gadget which you cannot use for anything else.

Doremi: Hey, check the iZZi website again! They have Easy PAyment plan lah - 12months zero interests with selected credit cards. I bought one straight away and paid RM1,138 on my card. I also got my free "4G" card, cool! Now I only repay about RM95 every month to my credit card company, still monthly repayment mah. It's the same. With 3G, you have to fork out RM1,300 and still pay RM120 monthly. Streamyx you pay RM78 and RM25 for the phone line, and no free "4G" card. You all know how pathetic Streamyx service is!!!!
With iZZi, I paid with credit card and within 10 minutes, I am connected. The best is I am now mobile and can surf anywhere in KL city. They said by end September, 95% of Klang Valley will be connected with iZZi. Wow, no make it double wow!!!
Also their refund policy I believe very reasonable and fair. Go check out their website - www.izzi.com.my

nice try, but as far as wireless broadband is concern i am not buying whatever you said.
stop talking and promote your product here, come and paste the speedtest.net and ping results.

LOL. Gosh, OziBurst. You sure are funny.

First, you say that you're using their Desktop package (iZZiPro). Furthermore, you claim that the iZZiPro desktop modem can act like a hotspot at home... last I checked on iZZi's website, that unit does not have built-in WiFi. But of course, you said that you haven't tried it yet. So I'm wondering how you managed to bring your notebook out of the house? Unlike the ZTE HSDPA modem provided by Maxis or Jaring's SOMA port, iZZiPro's modem does not have a battery pack... or does it?

Next, you claim to be using their PC Card UT too (iZZiOne)!!! Wow... so in the end, you're paying for two packages?? That's RM95 + RM125 = RM220 every month. Not bad... you're paying more than Maxis 3G users. *LOL*

My ass, Setapak is nearest to KL edi, but still no connection to that area. So how come they said cover 95% Klang Valley ha? Klang their head. Valley my ass. tongue.gif

Added on July 27, 2007, 3:57 pmhi OziBurst,

please know that customers now days are not the stupid and naive, show us some hard facts about the quality of service.. tongue.gif

apart from that you say you can pay it easily with credit-card 0% installment..
what about students who don't have card ? pay with their realrewards/bonuslink card ?
duh ?

if your an employee of izzinet, and i'm your manager i will fire you cause your dumb.. tongue.gif

oh yeah! Forgot to add... their iZZiPro modem purportedly functions only if you connect via USB port. The Ethernet port doesn't work. (According to a user comment here: http://forum.mypdacafe.com/viewtopic.php?t=16336) SO!! There's no way you can hook up a WiFi access point to this modem, right? doh.gif

I dunno what's with that 95% thingy. Coverage 95%. Signal strength also 95%. hmm.gif

BTW, am told that indoor coverage may not be that good. Esp. if you're using their iZZiOne or iZZiYou UT. E.g., >70% signal strength outdoors but 0% indoors. Hope a genuine user can verify this claim.

laugh.gif OziBurst is trying so hard to sell his company's products! The more he posts, the less credibility he has, and by extension, his company. I think by now almost everyone here has given up with this company.

When I went to their "roadshow" in Digital Mall recently, I discovered that:

(1) they are not sure how to hook up a router to their IzziPro unit through the Ethernet port. They claim only a few router brands/models work with the unit. Having done my research, I do not think this is the case, but I'm not posting my findings here as I don't do marketing for them wink.gif

(2) I asked them to bring the unit further indoors into the mall to test the signal. I got all sorts of excuses for them not being able to do so. I suspect the main reason being that once inside a building, you lose the signal totally. This means that you would need to be next to a window or opening to use this service. And the PC Card and USB devices don't come with external antenna, so this probably makes their reception much worse compared to the IzziPro model (although the PC Card and USB devices have external antenna ports, no antenna is available yet, according to the Izzi folks there, and they couldn't give me a timeframe on when this would be available)

Hi All nod.gif Think I've found the right site to get some advice on bband. Any recommendation on a good bband service in KL area? Currently on 3G...but finds it a bit expensive and crappy except in certain areas... icon_question.gif

Thanks in advance, ya'll.
