I have been using Jaring Wireless for 2 years and I have been having my share of (wireless) problems. The Soma port is an old technology much similar to Webbit - its RF based. That is proprietary and so far does not seem to have any simple upgrade path to newer technology (re: faster speeds). It baffles me why Jaring chose to go such a route. Webbit is dead long ago.

IZZI is 4G which is another term for WiLAN and it sure beats 3.5G HSDPA hands down. HSDPA is good PROVIDED ONLY if used alone and the ISP only provides HSDPA service. Trouble is when ISP / operators mix HSDPA and 3G and EDGE etc and voice calls. Voice calls are ALWAYS given preference everytime especially during festive seasons or important events, data calls are dropped by the operator/ISP to ensure good quality voice for phone calls. IZZI is only providing data (voice over ip) and treats all users the same - there are no preferential band of users as compared to mobile calls.

I am not affliated with IZZI - I was at Low Yat today and spoke to the sales person for almost 1 hour on technical and monetary issues. Because the cost of the modem is high, they wanted you to pay 1 year up front. Also, they will refund fully if you return unit within 1 week if you find download/uploads poor. Also they claim not to cap on total bandwidth usage and do not restrict bit torrents.
