Just my 2sen on iZZi, I got it yesterday and have been testing it thoroughly ever since.

- It's STABLE, which is a who-hoo in Malaysia, the data rate doesnt fluctuate and delivers what it claims till the last kb.

- It's LAGGY, but, were you all seriously expecting to play WoW on an european/american server here in Malaysia without lag? Go get your easy2game subscription and things will improve a lot. (tip of the day: although Singapore easy2game servers may seem faster, the best ping is obtained on chinese servers, use those!)

- It's PROMISING, with a 2mbit service "in the pipeline" as they fondly say.

- IzziPro terminal is BAD, as the ethernet plug on it is for PPPoE only, I was expecting to use it as a stand alone modem for my network, but it looks like I still need a computer to activate the connection sad.gif

A note to Mac users: the instruction PDF says it won't deliver full speed on OSX "as it's obviously OSX's fault" .... . .. . L O L. I mean, big LOL biggrin.gif no worries AppleBros, full speed here on Macintel and latest drivers smile.gif

I have to thank you guys on this forum, as I was about to do the big mistake to get a stupidly expensive 4mbit Blowmeyx service...

Edit: Forgot to add:

BT nerfing: Quite REASONABLE, as I get stable 50KB/s+ downloads

Signal strength in central KL: 100%, nuff said

I live in Central KL, was using Celcom 3G before and was EXTREMELY dissatisfied with it. VERY low transfer rates even with HSPDA @ 70% signal (maxx 30-40KB/s) massive BT slowdown, countless disconnections and connected-but-not-data-exchanging sh#@e every single day I had the displeasure to have it at home, ah, and totally ridiculous latency, with or without proxy. Thank god I was borrowing it from a friend, to pay 1year for that crap would have been... Vile for me.

So, iZZi, what are you waiting for? Just deliver a better always-on modem/router, buff speed up to 2mbit and up (iBurst supports up to 5mbit afaik) and give us some nice proxy service using some snippy Ciberjaya fibered servers, and we finally won't have anything to envy to almost every other civilised country in the world!

Trust me, and I mean it from the bottom of my heart, there is not a chance of a snowball in hell that the Celcom 3G reaches 3.6mb speed. Using HSPA at 60-70% signal strength I VERY rarely went over 50KB/s, with a much more realistic peak of 30KB/s and CONSTANT disconnections or data transfer interruptions. Downloading a 100MB file for me was a TRAGEDY: Connect, start the download, at a certain point, although connected, 0KB/s for like 20 minutes, so disconnect, reconnect, and so on and on and on for months... I am really glad I got rid of it.
