Tried out their connection via speedtest.net at lowyat (izzi booth) today, 42kb/s down and 30kb/s. The sales-lady says she will bring me outside lowyat if i really want to test their connection speed (outside for what?), also reiterated that we are surrounded by tall buildings and other interfering radio frequencies like cell-phones and static (-.-').

Told her my usage is in enclosed building parameter (-.-' again) around northern Damansara (LDP toll area), she replied that she will include a free anthenna for me as a temporary relief and her main point is that a new kepong base-station will be up and running by end of this month, 31 October (i doubt) which will cover areas as far as LDP and Sri Damansara area.

Asked her about bandwidth availability to support, she quickly regurgitated that each base-station on the coverage zone can support 1 million users (i am not kidding, that is what she told me, but she missed the point of my question). I have to use another method to explain my question, stating to her that 'yes, you have 1 million (dunno true or not) large pipes, but will it have enough water(bandwidth) to be given out evenly to everyone?' she said 'yes, and everyone will get at least 1mb/s if you download outdoors...' (LMAO, in disbelief)

Then i asked about the pricing for each of the package, she told me no need upfront if using credit card. I asked her about any other hidden charges or cost, she said no, but the device(pmcia card, modem, anthenna..bla) will fully be mine to keep after six month cause i am buying it via the monthly fees.

Up to this point, i am fully aware that izzi will really face a tough time very soon...but good to keep the iburst device after six month cause it is usable in other countries which have the iburst coverage.

good development from the public to trace their credibility. It is fun to trace which poster is a 'shill' and knowing how they respond to counter the countless technical details XD

I noticed all their salesperson are girls with advance mascara goop..lol
