i'm dumping maxis wireless broadband, just got it for 4 days and it sux since the 1st day. Around 100 kbps onli even though i got the hspda package. download an attachment from email like 3kb per sec. most probably thinking of getting izzinet. anyone around serdang area subscribe to izzinet? any feedback?

great news. i just got myself izzitnet today and boy am i glad that i dumped maxis. speed much better at nite compare to puny 100kbps from maxis (3.6Mbps) last time.




the bad side about izzinet is there is a hidden cost for RHB credit card installment thingie. Izzi have to charge me extra 5% for the total subscription for using RHB card. Others like maybank and chartered dun have this hidden cost.

yeah my signal kinda fluctuates quite a lot although i put it near the window. Never reach 100% before, always around 70-90 though. mine is the usb version. the DIY antenna looks kinda complicated to me. maybe i'll get the external antenna from izzi. the girl from izzi told me i can get it from her for RM50 but when i checked izzi website, there are RM68 and RM38 version so now i'm a bit confused here.

you still can return it in 3 months time though but u'll get less refund.

yup, fair & square.

wat mtu u r using? 1400?

i'm using izzione without any antenna and i'm staying in desa serdang. i found out that i need to face my UT towards MINES then onli can get 100% signal consistently Bandwidth also has gone up

well that inclusive of the previous 4 towers that was proposed to be online by 15th October. i guess now they postpone it along with the other new 5 towers to 31st October.

ur own antenna? cool, can show a pic? how u make it?

2% only ar..y they charge me 5% somemore using rhb card. i went to the booth at the centre hall there and then the girl brought me up to a shop to subscribe. they said if i charged using rhb card thru them they have to charge me 5% unless i use other card like maybank. me also confused liao somemore say no hidden charges in their website.

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

yala, i think they can't differentiate maybank card with mbf card

maybe you can try out the MTU Optimizer from www.iburst.com.au first . It will shows you your current MTU and option to set a new value. But nevertheless TweakMaster has fail safe feature whr u can backup ur registry first just incase anything happens. Do it in your own risk k i've tried mine and nothing broken yet

Added on October 24, 2007, 6:40 pmso far so good lor using 1400. last nite was kinda slow around 8-11pm. but after that it recover and even went past 1024kbps, i think i saw it reach 1090+, hehe, and when i look at xunlei my file was downloading at speed 116kb/s max. i tried not to leave it overnite download too much, scared later they ban me for heavy use or something since someone mentioned it b4 in their terms & condition.

u must be using the Pringles eh

i guess that would be a monopoly then

As i know, Izzi offers the most flexible payment scheme comparing to other current wireless broadband provider. Maxis, you are bind to their contract for 18 months and you can't cancel it if you have exceeded their 7 days cool-off period meaning if your bandwidth sux after that cooling off period, you are doom paying every month for that poor bandwidth unless they can fix ur problem. For izzi, you can cancel within 3 or 6 months time and you are refunded for the remaining months. oh yeah, i was one maxis subscriber but now i'm a happy izziOne

well for my case its all becoz i can't afford to fork out one large sum of money one shot therefore in my list i cancel out those wireless provider that requires you to buy the equipment. plus once i have bought those equipment i can't be sure i'm getting the performance as stated. then if u plan to cancel the plan, then you have to think of how to get rid of the equipment you just bought which is not cheap.

Don't u think I'm aware of buying things with credit card with interest free instalments. just like what anodize has mentioned that the total amount of purchasing the equipment and paying every month for the services (celcom, internet2go) sum up more than what izzi can offer for now. do the math and i agree that if u can't afford something then don't buy it but in my case the TOTAL amount chargeable by izzi is within my budget and best of all i'm getting the bandwidth i paid for so far. what's more can you ask, right?

well here is a good channel to have an idea of what's end user feedbacks on their services. They (izzi or other wireless providers) should have a forum on their own site too for user's feedback. So far i think izzi dun have la.
