Wrong , your concept is wrong. TM has a huge International link. Try comparing TM's Lease Line to your Streamyx. You'll feel the difference. The problem with residential package is that TM just applies QoS rules aka fair play , since we have been allocated some resources , and in order to manage it , TM just has to throttle connection , etc to ensure everyone gets to enjoy the broadband. For lease line , the experience is totally different - its you and the Internet and there is no middle man. No funny QoS rules , that speed belongs to you and there is no way TM can throttle.
Whats wrong with 406kbps and 194kbps. You're on the 512Kbps package and it seems fine to me. 75% of the advertised speed , so whats the big fuzz ?

Sauce !

You sure its Fixed IP. I know JARING Wireless provides users with dynamic IP , but if you keep on the modem everyday , you'll notice the IP doesn't change unless its off for a really long time. I think its the same with P1 as well. It doesn't matter if you are using Dynamic or Static IP , people can still trace you.

That is up to 3.6Mbps. In reality , its impossible to get more then 3Mbps unless there is like nobody using it. At last P1 is offering something more realistic. Get the difference between 3G Broadband and WiMax !

Thats the limitation of technology. When they say up to 3.6Mbps , meaning that it can go anywhere from 0 to 3.6Mbps whereas P1 advertises it as 1.2Mbps and 2.4Mbps , meaning that you should get at least 70% of the advertised speed. (same goes for streamyx as well)

Website might take few seconds to response in this case a local site will take 128ms to response. Surely you might notice it , but once its loaded you'll see things will load fast. Speed and latency aren't inter-related , as there are many factors that would influences latency

If you notice , the port is still blocked. Not recommended for those who plan to host games such as DOTA , as its not possible to do it !

JARING Wireless is way better as they give you an external IP , in other words you could host your own games , port forward for p2p application. Its not a problem. But P1 gives you a public IP address and then blocks it ! - Sure today you can torrent as there aren't much people but what if the user base starts to pick up
Its like a NAT. That is why they say its just plug and play as its been pre-configured. I'm not sure if users are given the WebUI Interface to disable NAT and if possible to dial manually

Not half , its 64Kbps - Imagine from 24Mbps to 64kbps

Nobody knows , unless someone is willing to post their P1 Modem MAC Address , so we can determine the make of the modem and its chipset - which allows us to explore more and find out what they have imposed in the modem (QoS rules , firewall rules)

It can't be P1 for sure , cause they were promoting their WiMax back then , couple of years. I am guessing it must be Redtone

I wonder why they don't want to give the license to say DiGi or some other key players. Like out of the 4 companies , I dare to say that P1 and uh is the best. This what happens when you give WiMax license spectrum to a VOIP company

Its of course NAT Type 3. Not recommended for "hard core" gamers such as you. P1's modem pretty much blocks any port that it thinks isn't worth it and going to take bandwidth. This is why I am not recommending P1 to gamers , including nairud who wanted to try P1. Its a no-go.

It will be Type 3 , no matter what you do. This is why , streamyx is the only choice that gamers have (Despite the fact that it sucks)

Guess , it seems that another Maxis broadband in the making. Providing you good speeds during trial and then slowly then to do funny things and once you have reached your cap , they'll cap you to a lower speed. Seems that Streamyx is still the King of all the lousy broadband services here. P1 doesn't seem to impress me at all. Heck , I dare to say even JARING Wireless is way better then P1's lame policies

Okay guys

I am officially on WiMax. Will be testing and posting reviews from time to time

Now for the speed test




(Keep in mind , I am using some of the bandwidth. My family members are using the Internet. So the results might be biased a bit)




Can't do speed test - It takes forever to download (Streamyx)
Beats the hell out of my Streamyx. I'll post pictures later. Oh yeah , kudos to Miss Naomi for being very friendly and uh thumbs up to P1

Edit : Gonna disconnect and try Streamyx

Edit : I've posted my part one review over here. So if you guys want to see how it performs and such , I recommend you to do so

I'll do that. Its in my next part. How it performs in certain sites such as YouTube , etc

I noticed , the cap seems to be nice right now. I guess its mainly because of their cap. Anyway I'll have to wait and see how it performs

I'll be writing more review. For gaming , gamers might not be happy. I'll have have to conduct more tests !

Yah ! I am being throttled

Not bad , youtube takes a longer time to buffer and its around 400kbps-ish - but one word - the upload is pathetic after being throttled - 64kbps and at most it can go is like 96kbps

Well , I just hope that they don't turn into another Maxis Broadband. So far their services seem to slowly declining (as in the speed , throughput). I guess ever since the firmware was upgraded , I did notice disconnections , frequent "lag spike". Lets just hope that they'll improvise the service !

Video calls do drop a lot , I believe its because of the high latency and its not able to pump the same speed (with minor margin for a long time). Alternatively it may have been caused by NAT !

Nope , it just only transmits data in small amount. So you don't worry about it

Even if you get throttled , it would be your speed basically !
