HONEST REvIEW of IZZI
Right now, I'm typing this post on izzi ISP with that setup box with antenna (not the PC card). It's running on PPPoE (Lan cable, not USB). This setup box belongs to company, so I just take home and use a few days.
First of all, I want to say that when I plug into my computer, it gives me the "LIMITED OR NO CONNECTIVITY" icon on my taskbar. But once I plug in everything and login, it works fine.
Speed is....... lousy..... My BT downloads is giving me 1% of the speeds i get in office. Setting all the same! same computer!
But to be fair, the nearest station is blocked by a hill, and I'm staying in apartment on low floor. To be fair, when I saw demo in lowyat, speed also lousy. To be fair, inside PWTC also lousy.
BUT... when field tested in Dataran Merdeka and Bangsar Telawi where i yum char and see girl... fuh.... speed boleh tahan.
in conclusion If you want to take up izzi, and its a heavy investment, please arrange with the tech team to come your area and TEST FIRST. I know i know... the pretty promoter girl want to press you to sign up at the shopping centre. Tell her dun worry, if the tester come, and you satisfy, you not only sign with her, but you also buy her xmas gift.
Remember... TEST FIRST... your area might have lousy signal.
I hope this helps the lowyat.net community.
Go back to ur 1st problem, u said "LIMITED OR NO CONNECTIVITY". R u using xp sp2? I have the same problem just like u... last time. U need to go online look for the patch for ur xp. Either bad for ur location or not, u need to do sumthing be4 u can start u iZZi.
1.Identify the nearest iZZi wireles seed reception location. No choice u have to carry tat stupid modem hop up wif long cable walk here n there to find the best location for it. How to test it? simple, everytime u place the modem at the new place. goto speedtest.net do a diagnose speed test. Tat wat i did.
2. place the iZZi modem near window. Or better if place at the balcony there( meant ask u to surf outside only). Rite now i place the modem beside the window.
3. When raining, speed can goes very low.
4. cross ur finger hope u don get disconnected.

Now at my house when i check the speed using their speed test, i got less than 100kbps =.=|| I was so piss off but then sometimes i still can play my online game and when i ping to the game server site, it is constantly 300ms..
iZZi is really time and location dependency.... =.=||
Haha, call their customer service n bark them la. I still remember last time when i called n complainted y the speed is fxxking slow. U know wat the technical support say ah?. "Er. Strange Mr xx, We never have service coverage at ur location, how can u subscribed to iZZi?" O_O!| . This is the problem with iZZi.
