QUOTE(dgtel2 @ Oct 20 2007, 09:18 AM) Like I've mentioned previously, I may not need antenna if I stay near the transmission tower or whatever they call it. But if I travel to other places or if I'm the road warrior, I will definitely need the antenna for OTHER locations that are receiving weak 4G signal. Logic isn't it? 2nd point is, I can re-sell the whole hardware (plus antenna) to other ppl who need it. I cannot re-sell the hardware when potential buyers evaluate the performance as bad due to lack of antenna. Now that the antenna is free upon request, I would definitely request one. For those who already signed up without the antenna, I advice u to get the antenna while it's free. And any other potential subscriber who planned to signup, request for the antenna even though ur signal is good at your current location. Who knows u might "berpindah-randah" from one place to the other and find that the 4G is weak over "there". The guy said now new subcriber come with attenna...i'm not sure true or not.

QUOTE(Anodize @ Oct 20 2007, 12:50 AM) okay... one of my friend is using izzi wireless broadband... He stays in serdang. his coverage was 40% before he added the antenna. When he added the antenna, it was 100% coverage already... The speed is good. Before Antenna 233 kbps(download), 30kbps(upload) After Antenna Download Speed: 983 kbps (122.9 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 170 kbps (21.3 KB/sec transfer rate) i'm using izzione without any antenna and i'm staying in desa serdang. i found out that i need to face my UT towards MINES then onli can get 100% signal consistently  Bandwidth also has gone up

Hi. I just got my izzi internet, and I'm getting abysmal bandwidth. My area is Bandar Utama, and I'm quite near Centrepoint. So I'm not sure what to do about this connection.

you will have to wait little longer... cuz from the coverage area, i see that they are covering TTDI... Since you live in Bandar Utama, your signal strength might be better...

Well anyway, the guy at Lowyat told me the Damansara Perdana station will be ready by the end of this month, so he said the signal would be better. I take that to mean that it will be much better than the less than 100kbps I'm getting. lol I am trying this service first because I checked out the website, Centrepoint supposed to have a station. And that guy told me a customer tested in KDU, getting 300kbps bandwidth.
Pinged to KL using the speedtest.net website, I get a ping of 500, the best result I got was 260+ ping, compared with my Streamyx connection (via wireless router) of 115 or so ping. But still the download and upload speed is terrible, less than 10KB. Sometimes the ping is ok for a wireless service that isn't at nearly full strength, but occasionally it appears to cannot download anything even when there's a signal.

Well for the promotion dates, I went to their website and it was from 16th to the 21st. Last friday, the guy told me they could extend the promotion there. Sure enough, today I logon to Izzi's website, and they posted that the promotion at lowyat will be for another week (22th to 28th).
Anyway, went back there today, asked the guy why I didnt get an antenna and told him about the terrible conenction I was getting. Well he said if I like to, I can deposit RM50 to get one of their antenna (I believe they are called resellers, so they got the antenna from somewhere and they claim to have limited supply). Shortly I got it for RM30, went back home and tested it out. So I am quite satisfied at the speed currently. My signal goes between 90-98% as long as I don't move the laptop or antenna, and it can actually reach 100%. Of course I had to position my laptop a little nearer the edge to have some more space away from the wall.
My latest speedtest result at speedtest.net to KL is 473 kbps/142 kbps. Well since the signal already nearly at full strength, I'm not sure if adding another base station (They said Damansara Perdana) will boost the bandwidth even more.
edit: pings to LA and Cananda are around 350ms on average. You might expect something like 108/97kbps with that.

And guys did any one got the antena for free before? I heard one may just get it for free if the connection is very bad. But how we know, wireless broadband is meant for mobility rite. So we might need it while on move rite. So can't we request for it and get it free? did any one got it for free under this situation...

I got my antenna, and the sales person just told me that it was part of thier current promo. No need to even ask for it.
Well the speeds in KL at my office is good, when using speed test I usually get around 850 to 960 kbps for download. And large file downloads from http, I get average of about 70KB/s. Highest it has peaked was 130KB/s......
