Anyone using AMAX right now? Can you comment on speeds conencting to overseas websites?

I am now on my 5th day of trialling AMAX. Honestly I am hugely disappointed. I am going to return this tomorrow as I am still within the 7 day trial period.

While speed tests to KL and Sngapore shows full speed:





It's a different story when you go overseas:










Some might say SpeedTest.Net may not be accurate, but surfing speed tallies well with the results. Even local sites are slow. Bittorrenting is medium fast though. Can get up to 40KB/Sec (slow to some but acceptably rapid to me). Forget youtubing. Forget streaming radio. I have to reload Photobucket each time I upload an image because uploading more than one image at the same time will stall it.

THESE SPEED TESTS WERE RAN WITH NO OTHER BACKGROUND APPLICATION UTILISING THE CONNECTION RUNNING.

I really wanted to support AMAX so they can be one of the forces to make Shytmyx eat the humble pie. I am sad I will probably not see that happen..

Kudos to the tech / customer support though. They really want to help you.

I am hoping it is a small hiccup.. I have one day left to test.

BTW thre has been a general improvement since Friday, though it kind of fluctuates and also depends on time. Test to EU is generally slow, thouhg much better than before.

SPeed test this morning:

I agree. I thought it was my area only that had problem. Speed has been good since Sunday night. Suddenly the word broadband brings back good feelings.

Kudos to AMAX for their friendly and dedicated staff!

What's your location, clivengu? I experienced the same when I was within my first week trialling AMAX. It went OK on the last day and I have decided to stick with it since. Have you tried other servers overseas?

This is mine just this minute:

I mean try speed test with servers in other countries as opposed to the one in KL. Drag the window or simply select Singapore below KL (the recommended server)

I'm on the 1.5Mb package actually.

KUALA LUMPUR:


SINGAPURA:


HONG KONG:


LONDON:


NEW YORK:


LOS ANGELES:


SYDNEY:


TOKYO:

Manyak best wooo. Downloads steadily even before it begins playing.

The multi user modem (RM 138 package) is not a WiFi modem. It has far better reception than the USB because of itw two wimax antennas.

AMAX, at least, makes use of existing towers its parent company AsiaSpace owns, and even that not as freely as it involves paying for 'licence to broadcast', so to speak. They can't even freely transmit wimax signals on their own towers, so I think 'putting up wimax transmitters' anywhere just for the sake of widening coverage is unlikely.

Uh I dunno, that's what was told to me by AMAX staff.

FAST! No throttling, no limit, for the time being. International link very good - I usually do speedtest with a London server and I get almost full speed. Certainly redefines broadband and gives that word a whole new meaning again, especially after it's been tainted by Shytmyx and Sialcom.

The CPE is better because it has two wimax antennas.

@DUOCORE is an agent.

Err...you asked for signal quality so I answered. If budget is a constraint then no matter which is better than which I suppose you're going to be stuck with the dongle, no question. I've been "demoed" with both the USB dongle and CPE - the USB dongle could barely detect the signal when used indoors.

I did experience some hiccup round about the same time...what I did was tu turn the CPE off for a few seconds and turn it back on. Then it was OK. Then it happened again a few times and I did the same thing. Now seems OK already ( so far la).

Si senor! I just need to reload speedtest and I will notice the IP changes, every time.
