lol is streamyx can beat P1, then P1 no need service already.
if streamyx better then izzi, izzi wouldn’t operate until now.
If streamyx very good, jarring wouldn’t operate till now.

chingeh, awesome review! nicely written. Thx

nice review

when is wimax coming to seremban?

i'm waiting for wimax to reach keramat area..last month checked still not yet, salesperson say maybe by november..i'm soooooo waiting for it..

but i still think streamyx download will be faster than any wireless provider... hope got more broadband provider in malaysia.. lol.. streamyx know nuts

cool review... at the time being, P1 is better.. but we can't guarantee once the subscriber has increase.

lol not bad... hmmm.. p1 quite fast download

Well, I really want them to support all of PJ now since Bandar Utama area is now a recognized MSC cybercentre.

As for the CPE, I think there's something confidential in there they don't want us to know. And since you mentioned port forwarding, I wonder if it'll increase download speeds further later.

hey guys.... is there wimax coverage in subang ss15 ? i ask P1 they said no coverage but ss 14 got...

According to the contract, you only use the CPE at the location you are registered to.
Hence, you can put the CPE wherever you want within your home (that's your freedom) but not bring to one place to another. That's what the nationwide access charges are for. I think it's not activated yet.

Added on October 2, 2008, 4:43 pmP1 is the name of the company, and P1 W1MAX is the name of the WiMAX service.
At the moment they only have one WiMAX service that's for the home user.

Hey nicely written but i still need more comments from other users... u have many other frens using wimax as well or not?

What about the bandwidth? I thought is was limited to 20gb per month? or something?

No most of my friends are obviously on streamyx. There is a forumer near my place who says he is happy with the speed as well and agrees on the need for good modem placement. He experiences slowdowns at night, which i don't so far.

This is my simple take :

1) UNHAPPY Streamyx subscriber - getting speeds below 1Mb/s
Try it out. You have 15 days to give it back. to taste the pie you might stand to loose RM50 in admin charges.
This is me. If TM had a 2MB line closer to ~100 i might be willing to pay. so my decision is simply on whether to pay RM10 more better speed on W1MAX 1.2M. There's why there's no verdict

2) HAPPY Streamyx subscriber
What the heck are you doing in this forum ?
But seriously if you're in a new area with new infra speeds can be pretty good. So you might be happy going for TMNet for a new line.

The rest of the considerations like 20GB cap are really on technicalities. Although i realize it's got an effect on me coz i've slowed down on my torrents but recently realizing there's a cap i'm downloading like crazy. human nature no?

No ISPs nowadays will not have in their T&Cs some form of fair use or bandwidth capping disclaimer. What they'll do to cap you or if there really is a cap i'll need to find out myself or maybe wait for some other forumers to confirm it. Although i have to agree that even for me without an active torrent lifestyle, youtube itself can be a real sucker and 20G/month if insufficient. But maybe they were thinking of the more casual surfers, which if you think rationally, is quite a bit.

BTW i took W1MAX 1 year contract at RM99 instead of RM89 because i am certain the landscape and price will change soon. 2 years if i'm still at these speeds at the same price i'll be terribly disappointed.

thx for reply.

i will just say no to P1 then.

Not whole KL and PJ yet. It's selected areas only still. I'm still waiting. sigh.

That's what they say but from what I heard, they're not limiting just yet. Coz as you know, most subscribers haven't switched just yet.

WHAT? we can only use 20GB per month....
