I went to the demo at Giant Kelana Jaya.

Ping to local servers around 80-100ms, but as with other wireless service, it has some spikes at 120-150ms but generally stable at 80ms.

This looks promising but I did not subscribe because i want to wait and see first.Remember what happens to Jaring Wireless? Initially there was such a hype on it with hundred pages of post, but today died already.

I dont understand why there is no concerted effort by these local players to combine their resources to come out with a reliable wireless solution? TIme Webbit, Jaring Wireless, Izzinet, Umobile 3G -- why cant they just merge?

You are a funny guy.... ask yourself this... why not, carrefour, tesco, giant merge?

simple, all these hypermarkets are backup with solid parent companies and models that work. Wireless technologies only sound good on papers. The companies that run these services are mostly near-bankrupt (TIME and MITV). Which makes me think twice before i subscribe to any of their service.

Since you are so 'unfunny' and generous, perhaps you should subscribe to Izzinet and let us know your experience since you are so loud

Lol... if you had read the previous posts, i am planning to be one of the distributor for them. Perhaps by then i could give you some firm answers...

By the way, regarding hypermarkets, if you had read some previous newspaper, it is said that the license for the hypermarket is reopen now... and walmart is planning to come into malaysia... and IF walmart does comes in, existing hypermarket would be affected.

and as for TIME and MITV, their timing wasn't right... thats why they are near-bankrupt... Investments must be put on the right time... and on the right place.... look around you... there are more and more people using mobile devices compared to the old days where basic laptop cost you at least RM3k...

I hope you understand what i am trying to say...I am not trying to flame you...  blush.gif
and you think Izzinet is putting investment at the right time? Their area of service is overlapping with Maxis wireless broadband , DIgi Edge and Celcom HSDPA service - all the 3 big brothers now offering their wireless service for < RM 100 a month.

Izzinet can only break even IF their service is consistently good , supported by good customer service - which is yet to be seen . Only time will tell if they succeed in this model. At the meantime, I am just telling you that I am not willing to put RM1000 ++ commitment fee to a service that binds me for 1 year, as compared to Maxis / DIgi/ Celcom where I could terminate at anytime.

YOu could talk like a salesman, because it is your intention to sell , and I do not expect you to be impartial in your view on Izzinet.

WEbbit died, Jaring wireless static already - any more proof you want?

as I note before, our local internet is dominated by TMNET , with Maxis showing some effort to break their monopoly. However, for smaller companies, they need to merge and combine their resources IF they want to break monopoly of TMNET. I was just bringing up the hypothetical scenario of local smaller companies like TIME, Jaring, Mitv , Izzinet to share their resources to build a bigger company to tackle TMNET, rather than going solo in their endeavour.

anyway, good to have izzinet people around in this forum. I tried out their demo, it was quite impressive AT THE MOMENT.

but i will wait for at least another 6months of 1 year to find out whether this company has what it takes to survive. until then, i will still stay with streamyx

Hmmm,i'm working on izzi customer service,so the technician still on the way to solve the prob.Of cos there will be ppl to complain,so far we will solve the problem by calling up customer.I just working no longer than 1 month,but i can see there is potential to build up their reputation as broadband provider.As long u have the prob,can call us up,and report us,to get the attention of the prob. smile.gif
