Hi everyone XD

I just want to share with everyone about Amax Wimax. My friend just subscribed for Amax last week. And he printed screen for me the Rapidshare download speed. He subscribed for rm99*/month package using the USB dongle modem. Both of us like to download stuff from RS & MU.




In this picture, I am using Streamyx. I wonder why so slow? Anyone can tell me why? It is Half of the speed of Amax Wimax Well, I was thinking of want to subscribe for either Amax or P1 too. But too bad, none of them cover my Area yet
If anyone wonder why I edited these two pictures. My answer would be because it is my friend and I privacy……

Yo bro, Nice Speed for Streamyx ( 1439kbps DL & 420kbps UL ) on speedtest. But it doesn't actually impress me at all! Why? Because those results may not be so accurate!

I am also another amax Wimax subscriber here and i am also still having Streamyx at home. But the different between Wimax and streamyx i would say is Wimax has better advantage on any watching online video because of no loading so far i experienced and the download speed for torrent & direct server download is actually faster! Watching online video using Streamyx is like dying for me because of the loading, so frustrated to wait, wait, wait, until i give up most of the time! As for me, I take download speed & watching online video as my benchmark in comparison!

FYI, I am using 1 Mbps Streamyx package. The good thing about streamyx is they have low latency as compared to Wimax. However, the download speed actually doesn't give me the satisfaction at all such as 30, 40, 50 KB/s & the speedtest shows 1292kbps, the download speed is still slow! In contrast to streamyx, Wimax can reach up to 120 KB/s++ to 130 KB/s++ easily using the Wimax USB modem. Maybe my area for Streamyx has been overloaded of Streamyx subscribers. And even though speedtest on streamyx give me 1300 kbps, the smoothness for surfing internet still doesn't give me the satisfaction and i still find that Wimax have a better advantage on that!

So i would actually say that speedtest on the P1 website really doesn't give a accurate results at all! So i would really advise people to give Wimax a try at least especially you are a mobile user and not so much of a gamer. Btw, i haven't try Wimax on online game yet as i don't play online game! And one exprience i would like to share with everyone is i was having a very heavy surfing on internet, a few downloads and watching video at the same time during heavy raining day, i was actually surprised that my speed has not been decrease at all and i didn't face any disconnection! I thought that raining day will effect the wireless connection, but it actaully did not effect at all. Cool


In my personally opinion,i think that Wimax actually has overcome/overtake ADSL line already whether someone said that i can't compare wireless and fixed line. But the Biggest disvantage of ADSL is that if your area has too many subscribers the speed would actually slow down and also depend how far or how near the distance between the TM exchange and your house. Based on one technician experience, he told me that even if your house is too far away from TM exchange, even with good ADSL modem also useless. The only thing that Wimax can't really compare with is Fibre Optic i guess. In Conclusion, I would still say Streamyx suck!!! Not worth paying RM88 for it, i am still using it because in case of backup use only...
