What I was known is this W1MAX is a very new ISP, the user not yet much. As we know, last few years the streamyx very fast. After few months, the user has been increase. Hence, the service gets little bit slowly and month by month the services getting slow then slow until everyone leave. After that the Celcom and Maxis 3G arrive, by that time I have use celcom until now and maxis for 1 year. The time that celcom 3G lunch, I brought the Huawei E220 modem at RM1, 500 can’t believe right that time when I purchase the 1st generation of Huawei E220 that is the 1st modem of 3.6Mbps. After I use 3 month of celcom 3G the service getting slower then slower. The definition is the much user use the service the ISP will get slower as my knowledge. The maxis 3G I don’t want mention already, not recommended to gamer, it’s every time DC and some time can’t connect besides the ISP every time giving the reason that they are under maintenance and so on. That is all the reason of the all ISP when slow connection reason “Maintenance”. In my opinion, I think that the W1MAX surely starting fast due to still don’t have any user using only test user. The entire ISP is same as 100 GB connection divide by the total user for example. The more users the more slow. Furthermore, they going give us a contract of 2 year that the 2008 PIKOM at KLCC Convention Center Promoter told me that I only guest have 1 year but is 2 years. If 1st month you use the ISP good speed, after 2nd month slower and the 3rd month sucks, you have to pay the $$ for 2 years due to you have sign the 2 years contract.

On the other hand, we still don’t know there is any limit on the maximum download per month such as 3GB Maxis and 5GB Celcom. If 1 month they allow you do download 3GB total Bandwidth how much you can download, that only target to some heavy download people.

It reminds me the old story as Feng Shui master find the $$ spot at the house…. Kind a zzzzz and the iZZi connection are very sensitive and when move left or right a bit the % will drop.
Added on August 7, 2008, 6:03 pmIn my conclusion, test two week is fine due to try period is two week, after two week W1MAX will need you to sign 2 years contract, unless they are gave us trust and prove their quality of service. Otherwise, if you sign up without do any survey, who knows what its end up.
