I hate those vendor always ask us to sign contract-contract !

If the service is good enough , why need to sign contract for 12months or 24months !

Hopefully there is no contract period while sign-up for any broadband plan in future

Eh... Wimax 1.2Mbps - RM99 (12months contracts) ; RM89(24months)

But, Wimax 2.4Mbps is over price la.....

vote for no contract service!!

YaY!!!

Get it from P1 website


Kuala Lumpur – 19 August 2008 ‐ Packet One Networks (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (P1),
the first Malaysian WiMAX converged telco and subsidiary of Green Packet
Berhad, today officially opened its doors for Malaysians to subscribe to its WiMAX
services, branded as P1 W1MAX.
Yang Berhormat Dato’ Shaziman Abu Mansor, Minister of Energy, Water and
Communications was there to officiate the historic accomplishment at the grand
launch of P1 W1MAX services.
P1’s CEO Michael Lai said, “We are indeed proud of the fact that we have put
Malaysia on the world map of WiMAX. Today, not only is P1 the first WiMAX
operator in Malaysia to open for subscriptions, but we are also one of the first in
the world to offer WiMAX service commercially. We believe that WiMAX will
change the Malaysian broadband landscape and the way we live, learn, work and
play, and lay the foundation towards achieving Malaysia’s National Broadband
Plan and MyICMS 886 objectives because of the very strong proposition of the
WiMAX eco‐system known as the DNA‐ Device, Network and Applications are, all
in place.”
Lai also thanked the Malaysian government for having the foresight on the
potential of WiMAX as a catalyst for the nation’s development, and being one of
the first countries in the world to issue the WiMAX license as early as March 2007.
P1 today introduced two promotional packages to meet consumer and business
needs. The promotion runs from 20 August to 30 September 2008. They are:
Packages Speeds
Monthly Charges
12 months contract 24 months contract
P1 W1MAX 1200 Up to 1.2Mbps RM99 RM89
P1 W1MAX 2400 Up to 2.4 Mbps RM229 RM199
P1 W1MAX broadband is now available immediately in the following areas: KLCC,
Golden Triangle, Pekeliling, Setapak, Gombak, Seri Rampai, Sentul, Pudu, selected
areas in Subang Jaya, USJ 1, USJ 7 and Subang Hi‐Tech area. P1’s deployment is
supported by Intel, which recently invested RM50 million (approx. US$15m) in
P1’s parent company, Green Packet Berhad.
In addition, by the end of 2008, P1 targets to extend its WiMAX broadband
coverage to Petaling Jaya, Damansara, Klang and Port Klang and others within the
Klang Valley; Johor Bahru; Kedah; Perak; Negeri Sembilan; Melaka and all major
towns and cities in the West Coast of Peninsula Malaysia.
P1 made another historical milestone today having received the honorable status
in the Malaysia Book of Records on two counts,
1. The First WiMAX Telco
2. The First 10 WiMAX subscribers
Ryaz Patel, Country Manager, Sales and Marketing, Intel Malaysia who attended
P1’s grand launch today said, “This is a significant milestone in the growth of
WiMAX globally. “IDC Malaysia indicated that notebook sales in Malaysia had
continued to outpace desktops during 2008, with more than 1.3 million1 units
sold – representing nearly 60 percent of the total available market in
Malaysia. Intel believes the increasing availability of high‐speed wireless
broadband, such as P1’s 802.16e WiMAX network, will accelerate this trend
towards adoption of mobile computing in Malaysia and beyond.”
“The value proposition of 802.16e WiMAX is the Internet as it was meant to be:
open, fast and mobile,” Patel continued. “2008 is a milestone year for WiMAX,
with more than 300 trials and commercial deployments underway worldwide.
Intel will continue to support the growth of the WiMAX ecosystem in Asia,” said
Patel.

aiks, why the price different ? i read in the star newspaper today bout P1's services. RM 60 for some low speeds and RM 100 for 2.4mbit wor. wait i go check.

no best effort or some other stupic T&C?

Wat is the ping reply ms to local website? the package 1200 and 2400 say it is suitable for online gaming but need some proof for the ping

they never specify which type of online gaming, dun think FPS is suitable for wireless

Was invited for the P1 Wimax official launch today. Superb show! With Hannah Tan as the MC.

As for the prices, their brochures seem to have displayed the non-promotion deal as on their website. In the brochure, the packages state:

P1 W1MAX Personal

Speed - No contract rate - 12 months rate - 24 months rate

400kbps - 69 - 59 - 49
700 kbps - 89 - 79 - 69
1.2Mbps - 109 - 99 - 89
2.4Mbps - 269 - 239 - 209

P1 W1MAX Business

Speed - No contract rate - 12 months rate - 24 months rate

400kbps - 79 - 69 - 59
700 kbps - 109 - 99 - 89
1.2Mbps - 169 - 159 - 149
2.4Mbps - 369 - 339 - 309

Charges:
Modem fee - 999 (upfront)
Registration fee - 100 (upfront)
Activation - 50 (1st bill)
Stamp duty - 10 (1st bill)

Installation fee - 80 (Optional)
Nationwide Access fee - 10 per month (optional)

Currently, on the P1 website from 20-30 September (think they made a typo and said August) they are giving the modem FREE - worth RM999! So if I wanted to register, I'd do it before August 30th otherwise the modem fee is going to setback a ton of people. For me who's in an area that's not supported, it sucks.

Just checked their website and it seems they've updated it with the full price list now. From what I can see, it'll be more beneficial to have the Business Plan as the discount there is more. But still...no coverage in my area - nearest is SS7.

puchong not even in the list for future devolopement....

To all my guineapig, i say thanks you for testing it. I will be waiting for a week for all your feedback.

I will be waiting for at least 2 yrs, to see if they oversubscribe like TM does.

Most ISP oversold....so will this...
