You got TV, watch it, on Buletin Utama 28 October 2008, if not, watch over their sites... got playback...
I'm not working (this company, but oil company IT side)...
P1 also called Packet One Networks (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd. A WiMAX Licenced Company Subsidiary of Green Packet

BTW, Asiaspace has launched WiMAX .. it's called AMAX ... I came across it a few days ago at ACT exhibition @ KL convention center ... both P1 and Asiaspace were there. It seems that AMAX has quite good coverage .. matching that of P1 ... and they seem to have been collaborating with P1 in their coverage areas by not having conflicting areas. I tested both WiMAX .. unbelievable fast speed for both! 

AMAX Coverage Areas

I guess the inactive company that the goverment threatens to revoke license would be YTL E-Solution ... i never heard anything from them other than a very very small trial (show show thingy). Asiaspace seems to have political connection, so I doubt it will get revoked.

I think most likely it's Redtone that the Minister of Energy, Water and Communications is refering to. Why? Because it seems that they are the only one which is putting the least effort.

-Amax has got quite a coverage in Klang Valley

-P1 is currently the front runner in rolling out Wimax in Malaysia

-Ymax though no news to the public but they are a conglomerate in Malaysia with good political connections. If they really put effort in it, their rollout would be faster than P1 with all that cash.

Lolz, there is only 5 part. Go Buletin Utama/28 Oktober 08 - Part 3. One of four of these company doing well, while the other 1 is going down...
Probably, need some picture...

Er..., I'm not telling you (for sure) that P1 is going to lost license, but one of four listed company will lost its license... and P1 is on the list...

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

Currently each of the ISP is getting 30Mhz of bandwidth which is really low compared to Xohm in USA that has 120Mhz. 30Mhz bandwidth even when on WiMAX - MIMO B, can only give throughput up to 100Mbps DL on one basestation site (360 degree at average about 1-2km radius). This is very low and no place for capacity expansion for the ISP.

It's a good idea for government to revoke the license of those leechers in the industry and give it to those true seeders.

oh well, probably just a threat by the mcmc concerning the licenses..coz even though some of the companies are slow, but all of them have done something at least, even Y-MAX actually rolled out in Bukit Bintang area in 2 hotels and 1 cafe......no website yet and no publicity

YTLE, Redtone and AMAX are only faking their launching to secure their licenses but in fact they are not offering services at the moment. So what you read on the newspaper might not be the whole truth ... those are paid by respective companies to show to the MCMC. Why YTLE roll out in Bukit Bintang? Because its offices are all there, so they are only offering to their own offices but not to other offices.

The MCMC license clearly states that it should cover for residential area to increase broadband penetration but not for business users only.

I haven't read anywhere that Y-max is rolling out only in East Msia, I thought only Redtone is going to launch in East Msia?

Well if that's the way they want to run things...although it is too early to pre-judge conclusively, kinda does give an indication of the level of competency and the way they run business in these outfits. Just want the $$$ and licenses.

I personally don't have much hope.

I saw on Airzed website, they have a Wimax service too, currently only have business package at rm468 with a 1mb download! Is this Airzed wimax same as Y-Max??

Airzëd's core investors are YTL Corporation Berhad

Source: Airzed about us

did everyone read this ?

p1 claim they do not throttle BT

but don't you guys think before they do that they should atleast cover the whole klang valley first?

Last week, I had noticed the speed was set to back to the package you registered, which not anymore to 1.5mbps if you're under 1.2mbps



I not sure is it just fall on me or to all of the users right now. If there's any P1 users, also notice the same thing here. Give some feedback. Thanks

any disconnection/connection problems faced by users here??? how is the ping and latency??

do they still cap after a certain amount of download limit?

or that only applies for trial users?

pay nothing? sure? i check the website nothing wor..

still have to pay the installation fees... stamp duty.. bla bla etc
Activation Fee : RM50
Stamp Duty    : RM10
Installation Fee: RM80
Paper Bill : Rm5 <--- kenot online waived like maxis mer?

I seriously would like to subscribe to P1 WiMax and I am staying at Batu Tiga, Seksyen 22 Shah Alam - Beside the CSR Sugar Factory (ppl who knows that area should know)

Can anyone confirm with me if the place has.

I have been searching to find out the exact info. From WiMax Customer Service, they said NO. But right behind my apartment(SUBANG HI-TECH) which is a 5min walk has coverage.

Appreciate if somebody can come up and let me know. Thx

For those who think 20GB of bandwidth per month is a bummer, keep this in mind: Streamyx has a 10 GB cap. ISPs caps bandwidth for fair usage. Once you've reached the cap, you won't be disconnected, but you will get lower speed.

Off topic:
Last year I was in Japan for a few months to visit relatives. I was shocked to find out Japan is charging 10Mbps the same price as Malaysia is charging for a 1Mbps connection. But then again, its Japan. I hear that HSBB is projected to be ready by September next year. They are already doing tests in certain areas in Malaysia. Speed exceeding 9 Mbps will be charged at minimal rate. Believe me, it's lower than you can imagine. Oops, I spilled beans.

Well, I did that of course.
and the Customer Service could not very much convince me. They seems so blur when you ask about location and of course I understand their difficulties to memorise so many locations.

So here I seek advise from someone who could know better.

This will only affect minority of people, and this minority of abusers can always look for other alternative ISP (if there is one) that can allow them to abuse the network. For the majority, hope the service will remain satisfactory, good and stable.

So many ppl have come here to ask this question .. and yet not a single answer. You know what they say when you discover a super beautiful unpolluted beach? Keep quiet and it will remain that way.

Since I haven't seen much complaint about P1 WiMax here. I'd assume its connection is super fast and stable. I'd keep quiet too if it's really fast to prevent more ppl to subscribe so I could continue enjoy the fast speed.

So are you saying LYN forumers knows nothing too?

I am trying to see if anyone here PERSONALLY USING this service in that area. Who knows I could meet one and who could tell me better. Aren't forums are anywhere for us to seek answer and sharing knowledge?

Based on what you posted, you are trying to draw a picture = since most ISP are offering customer service, why bother to have LYN right?

No offence but if you think you can help or you would like to help, I would greatly appreciate else ...............

Have a read at this month PC.com mag, FTH (Fibre to Home) might launch next yr if i not mistaken, it will hv a substation on each housing area, if u subscribe to it, they only pull the fibre to u home, quite interesting, i havent read it yet, just hv a quick glance only.

The slogan actually meant for Malaysian to feel proud because we have something that Singaporeans don't have.

But Singapore too has WiMAX but deployed in a smaller scale, the ISP is called QMAX, not very famous but they have it.

the p1 website don't seem to be very update. that day i went to the roadshow, the guy show me that taman bukit maluri gt line..bt sayang the signal until the yellow mosque and i am just like less than 100m away

I'm gonna try P1 WiMax later. Just now they were walking about in Bangsar.

sadly not whole lembah pantai area is covered.just called them today.
but before i commit,i wanna ask them 2 come and try at my house 1st.dunt want a repeat of past mistake

damn my place in Subang no W1MAX coverage. I went to the roadshow booth and sign up. They said can sign up and try.  If no signal u can cancel off. But have to go return the modem to their HQ at Jalan 222.

I am a P1 W1MAX user in USJ since August this year.
The speed was excellent and I could download with 200k+/sec using xunlei.
But lately its download speed has reduced from 1.2M to about 400k and this is what I get from their email

Fair Usage Policy Notification
   
show details Nov 23 (4 days ago)

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for being Packet One Networks (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (P1)’s customer and one of the world’s pioneer WiMAX users.  P1’s commitment and goal is to provide our customers with the best broadband experience possible. In order to accomplish this, we have adopted the P1 WiMAX Fair Usage Policy and we closely monitor and manage our network constantly to ensure the best service quality is provided to all our customers.

A minority of customers consume so much data that they impact the online experience for other customers. Like other similar broadband services, P1 W1MAX is a shared broadband service, whereby the connection to the Internet is shared between multiple customers. This allows us to offer affordable broadband packages to our customers.

We noticed that for the current month your account has been consuming large amounts of data and have exceeded P1’s Fair Usage Policy of 20GB per month. Among the possible reasons for the high bandwidth consumption by your account include the constant use of peer-to--peer (P2P) applications like Bit Torrent and other file sharing software, regular downloading and uploading of large files such as movies and videos, and frequent & repeated viewing of high resolution streaming videos and video on demand.

We seek your kind understanding and cooperation in managing the data usage of your account, as once the 20GB per month limit is exceeded, our bandwidth management policy will be automatically implemented and you may thereafter experience slower speeds until the end of the month especially during broadband usage peak hours. This action is required in order to safeguard the overall broadband experience for all our WiMAX customers.

If you have any queries or would like to understand more, please refer to our Frequent Asked Questions and Fair Usage Policy online at www.p1.com.my or call our P1 Careline at 0154 848 8484/8448 from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.


Best regards,

P1 Careline
This policy never appears in the contract when I signed up for the service.
Think twice before u wanna switch to P1 W1MAX.

i am a p1 w1max user in subang jaya too.
beegees is right that there isn't a clause about the fair usage policy nor the 20GB cap in the T&C. fyi i still have a copy of the T&C with me.

my download speed is merely 35k/s or less.

I'm a new P1 wimax user. (Pandamaran Jaya)
27/11 @ 7 pm - register at their roadshow (bukit tinggi,klang), they give the modem.
27/11 @ 8 pm, testing signal at home - very-very bad..can't have a stable light at all (red light keep blinking)
28/11 @ 8.30 am - call P1 hotline and make report.
28/11 @ 6.30 pm - test again, now its at least connecting even with red & orange signal keep changing frequently.
Around 7 pm , I got the green light( only for 10 minute). Then it back to orange.

Either way we the users end up losers since they can amend anything in the T&C.
Anyways, i am going to their HQ on monday to make a formal complaint.

HI All,
I am in a dilemma stage now where i shall return the P1 modem to P1 tomorrow before the 15 days trial. I still have my streamyx line with me. The problem for my streamyx, is that the phone line quality is not clear. I have tried on the P1 and the download reaches 1200 and above for downloading speed in Subang area. Should i continue to sign with P1? I called the P1 up and they mentioned i can only resubscribe to P1 after 60 days and that would be another package. They did mentioned that there would be a new promo package launch next year. Can anyone suggest on what i should select. Any P1 subcriber from Subang SS14 area? How was the experience with P1 compare to streamyx? Is there any issue so far? I need to decide and call up P1 tonight.

Anyone at subang jaya get internet connection from the wimax? My modem even shows solid green light signal...but unable to get data on Internet...is it their server down? 

Ive just gotten my P1 account activated around 2 days , 1.2 package , so far so good , im staying on the 7th floor apartment in an area where the website did not mention it was covered.They were worried that i was staying in an apartment that my signal wouldnt be so good.

The sales guy was kind enough to advise me,that maybe he should come over to do a line test.But i knew there was a 15 days trial at a charge of RM50 which i was ready to pay if things were not good because i was losing my head with Celcom.

So far so good , my modem is showing as Orange Light,which is average signal , speed maintains between 1.1 - 1.4 mbps during morning , noon , night , early morning.

Downloads consistent 100kbps and above.

So far im very pleased , i was using HSDPA Celcom and was going through a rough time with them. Im so glad i switched to P1.There was a time where i coudnt connect to the net at all for 3 days,i almost slammed my head on the keyboard. So close to go back to TMnuts,but something told me to just give P1 a try.So here i am.

Will update if things go sour with P1, regarding the 20GB max,its clearly stated in the form and site as well now , and also if you ask the sales guys, they will not hide it from you. I just want a stable connection,im not too demanding , i understand that there will be times where shyt might happen, all things need maintainance.

I pray that P1 can maintain this way for 12 months at least =]

PS : im from JB. *in case you were wondering*

wow, getting nearer to Cheras huh...yea more south that's what we 're waiting for..

just changed to wimax in my jb house recently.. haven't tested it but my sister said so far so good..

will it sucks on rainly days? just wondering..

got mine working last night.. but tested the speed couple times at speed test... it fluctuate . the download speed not consistent.  highest i manage to reach is 1.3kbps. sometimes .  normally it hover around 0.5kbps to 0.8 kbps

the connection not very stable... i get timeout from time to time. but the modem signal show connected.

FYI the location in SS15 houses after subang square. P1 website say no coverage but i get yellow signal most of the time when i tested last night. 

i have been using wimax since july..
guess wat??
the total downtime during this period  for me is about one month plus...
hell yeah~~

using p1 wimax nearly one month~very stable~very good~

Do you guys think W1Max will give us better service, even better than the "GOOD-OLD" Tmnut Screamyx, if got then i will change ISP.

can anyone post some modem webUI screenie? the connection is based PPPoE ?

Hmmm , but why should my downloads be managed when i havent even downloaded more than 5gb?

Regarding their customer service , its 2 thumbs up from me,compared to ANY other TELCO company in malaysia.

Er just asking, is P1 coming to Ipoh?

Does P1 works fine at a high rise building/apartment?

i cant seem to navigate properly in their website .. anyone here from Puchong (specifically Kinrara area) and know if p1max reaches out to this area.

My place no coverage ... lol ... still waiting.
