Ok, I'm curious to know if anyone has had a similar experience as I have:

I signed up with iZZi, and during the first week, the speed was fantastic.  But after the first week, my speed started dropping, to the point where it is now officially slower than what I used to get from Streamyx.

And I'm not even talking about torrents.  I'm just trying to surf the web and play Scrabulous on Facebook.  And I'm sitting here, twiddling my thumbs, waiting for the damned pages to load.

iZZi support has been pretty lousy.  I took screenshots of my bandwidth speed tests and sent it to them nearly a month ago.  Called a few times since then to follow-up, but they just keep saying that they've notified their tech people and they'll get back to me soon.

I've got 100% signal strength, and I got really good speed during my first week of subscription, so I doubt it's an issue with my location, the coverage area, or any of my network settings.  Nothing has changed.

I never thought I'd encounter a broadband provider crappy enough to make me consider going back to Streamyx, but here I am.

Comments?  Suggestions?

nothing wrong with your signal. It's because your area start to have more and more izzi user. One tower support 50 users, and 24 Mbps downstream. So, if all the 50 user use the service fully (p2p or ftp for example), your max speed will drop to half. (simple math).

It happen to some of us, including me. Its only...i already fedup and let it be...as I did with streamyx before. Customer service...hmm...entahla labu.

madman.com, if you read previous post (in V1) you will know that KJ area already congested.

I am from KJ too...and nothing they could done. I think iBurst hit its technology wall. I should be more aware...when I read the white paper, 24 mbps downstream limitation.....how on earth to provide 100 ppl per tower...

Now, even i smack my forehead pun...tak boleh buat apa already. Use it or ask for refund it. Sigh.

Getting 500kbps at best should be your best hope for most of the time (sometime during 4am to 5am you may get a bit higher). (less ppl use the service).

edited...

But some area has very nice speed (limited to 1 mbps). However, eventually, they will face this kind of problem too in the near future...when more and more people subscribe this service at that area. Look at the promoter, aggressively sell this product. Funny thing is, they have any kind of answer for your limitless question. I ask one o f them at Digitmall, how much user each tower can support simultaneously, and the answer 1000. Wow...if anyone havent study iBurst whitepaper.. they will think...awesome. But the truth is....

The good side of izzi....it rarely disconnected. Only sometime, when disconnected, hard to get connected again. Need to reboot my windows...wonder why.

Anod... Even smart consumer who ask izzi representative to come to their home and test it...fall into this problem. Because, at that moment the representative test the connection, the speed seem OK. But a month or more after that...the speed drop due to excessive and over p2p user...what can we do? Some people said ask for refund....some people said...stop complaining in public domain and some people said..live with that.... the answer is yours. I have mine.

****question*****

Do anyone of you guys know how to make other people access our PC using Izzi. I have no trouble to let people access my PC as mini online game server (without hamachi), and using No-IP. But with izzi...i have no idea. Seem, the only person could access it (via http) is me.

they do maintenence kot kevyon.

the problem with people (who did 24/7 p2p) is... they thought they already hand over a huge amount of money for the service and they must fully utilize it. That's the mentality of some customers. And it will directly hit to casual P2Per or casual http/ftp downloader.

It is more likely chicken and egg problem.

But I glad that Izzi hasn't shapping the torrent yet. Some of the legit files / software need torrent to download it. For example, WoW client from blizzard.
