Up to 1mbps is rm99 package while Up to 1.5mbps is rm13x package

I think s/he is referring to Streamyx

i dun work for amax but i hv done scanning around BU areas to benchmark their coverage with p1. seems like amax do indeed have a larger coverage. but tat is probably due to the vendor pumping the stations at max power...

=off topic=

this is normal, i apply for 384K, modem show 1536K, constant speed 45KB/s (95% speed)

that proof one thing, TMnet DSLAM are preset with speed or else they are lazy reconfigure. you should be happy

Wait until there have lot of customers ... choke on the base stations & intl links ... that should b d same wz p1 oso

Broadband industry in Malaysia is so sad. Tmnet was the one who start this oversell thingy now new ISP have to share the fear of customer that the ISP will oversell their bandwith.

base stations should not have much problem..I was told upgrading capacity is as simple as adding a module...it's the international bandwidth we need to worry about.

I say open up the local market to SingNet! Hahaha

yeahlah....so sad about this.......wait them test,then baru sampai u .

so which one better? anyone tried both?

Unless both basestations (p1 and amax) are placed at the same place, else I don't think you can compare the size of the coverage.

I tried amax at their launch at 1 utama. The ping to local server (www.jaring.my) did not look stable, fluctuated from 40ms to 200ms. But it did have a lower ping as compared to 3G definitely

AMAX site listed 10 locations ... only 1 location has coverage ...

i emailed signed up at the website funny whn the map shows there is coverage here where i am bt the email says i dun hav....hmmm

Capacity limitation of the basestation always cannot runaway from to the theory. Every 10Mhz channel bandwidth (per sector) can only offer maximum 18 Mbps (for 2:1 TDD ratio). When MIMO B (both basestation and end user devices) arrives, every 10Mhz channel bandwidth will be able to reach 36 Mbps.

few months ago....i sent an email to amax inquiring about their services and asked if cheras was included into their service coverage....they said after september......i wonder what happened now.....it's now October going on November.....it seems that the hype on amax just died off....

i wonder if they had finished building the base station or the base tower for cheras...or other locations as written in their list of places under their coverage...

Pandan Indah not yet covered ehh? =_="

i can't wait anymore...this weekend i'll buy 3G modem...and i'll give U Mobile 3G a shot...heh

ORIGINAL THREAD: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/856034

now P1 got competitor,but coverage is different..good strategy..

so expensive...
no use for wimax got this price

rm99*/month - USB modem, up to 1Mbps

-->chooncc, So expensive? You don't have a proper knowledge of Wimax yet!

The fact is i gotta let you know that Streamyx RM88 or Combo RM110 cannot even get 1Mbps connection speed actually. You know how fast is the speed for 1Mbps streamyx? Ans: Probably 60, 70 to 80 kb/s only. This one can download more than 110 kb/s. If you don't believe, you can try them on Pc fair, but i am not sure whether Amax having a booth there or not this coming event on december 2008?



This Multi-User modem 1.5Mbps vs Streamyx 2Mbps, about the same price, but i think Wimax still win! Some people have experienced that even though they have 2Mbps. Their download speed is only 110 kb/s maximum or even lesser than 100kb/s. However, this 1,5Mbps can go up to 210kb/s <<< i got this speed during Broadband fair, testing using Rapidshare & Megaupload. Youtube super fast download, no need loading! What about streamyx?

hahaha, no prove yet at the moment If i can get a print screen of Camera Shoot. I will post it here!

Well, Do you felt cheated by TM-NET?

Streamyx very clever to con people. All their package is only their marketing strategy, and don't really provide good service at all
