Guys, i am new user of wireless broadbands....thinking of getting one soon...i am staying at Brickfield near KL Central. Do you guys think it would be good choice if i choose izzi broadband? I mainly wanted to download movies and use p2p.
karheng would the guy that u mention earlier come to anywhere to test the speed. and guys what would be the good speed. I know we can't get 1Mbs as mention in the package. but what is the acceptable speed to download movies from p2p. 600-800 kbs izzit...
Do you guys think i can go for izzi service? thinking of getting izzieyou service. Please advice me...

QUOTE(4ns @ Oct 22 2007, 08:34 PM) 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. If u telling ur latest speedtest.net ot KL is 473 kbps/142 kbps means is that 100% of the speed. isn't 100% is 1000 kbps? 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...

QUOTE(kevyon6 @ Oct 24 2007, 09:29 AM) i'm getting pretty good bandwidth here in serdang. last nite the speed has been constantly around 800 to 1000kbps. just finish downloading 3 dramas 170Mb each probably less than 2 hours i think coz i left the pc on when i sleep  one file reach a download speed of 100kb/s  Since i subscribed to izzi for the past 3 weeks, i've downloaded more than 10 series dramas (>170Mb each), 5 full length movies (>3Gb) and been surfing webpages smoothly. just sometimes there are a few hiccups (stagnant low speed) which i try to disconnect and reconnect again and its good to go again. maybe you could try set your MTU to 1400 to see if there is any difference. i've used tweakmaster free download to set mine. i'm pretty satisfied with izzi so far except for the early 5% credit card charges for subscription only  But how to know the current MTU setting. I am using Windows XP service pack 2. And how about for windows 2000. Can we check that with the tweakmaster?

QUOTE(expertester @ Oct 24 2007, 10:55 PM) I choose Izzi USB. Deal with one salesperson (very nice and professional), he offer to come to my house, setup the demo unit to my pc and test as much as I want (well, he still in my house la)...i really satisfied with the product. REALLY satisfy. I have countless of unhappy time with streamyx before and migrate to Izzi seem a very good step for me. I get 100% signal strength and still, that guy has no hesitation at all to offer me the antenna for free. The bandwith, even not as fast as streamyx (sometime), I consistently get about 800-900 kbps. The latency to various website about 150 ms to 250 ms. Hi expertester, could you please post the contact details of the salesperson that u mentioning about. I feel it would be better to get this service from this type of salesperson rather then the one that dono anything abt the product. thanks man....
