The Asiaspace Wimax Sdn Bhd (Amax) website has the info on coverage, packages and pricing: www.amax.my
Note - no 'com'.

The Amax T&C don't have the Fair Use Policy. P1's have the policy which limits total download per month to only 20GB (where got enough! ) , while Celcom, Maxis and U limit to -worse- 3-5GB per month, all for roughly the same price of about RM99.00 per month.

I put the question on the absence of the Fair Use Policy to Mohd Zamri Salleh, the Chief Technology Office of Amax. He told me they had gone thru that and deliberately decided that they shouldn't limit the amount of download for Wimax users.

On the downside, for the cheaper (RM99.00) package, only the USB dongle modem is provided, which means one can't use it to wi-fi the house, but the advantage is it is entirely portable. If wanna the modem with the RJ45 to plug into a wireless router, one gotta take the RM138.00 package - that's 40% more pricey with slightly higher speed, and needs a mains powerpoint. The modems are provided free with a 12-month contract.

P1 provides only one type of modem which needs to be plugged into a mains powerpoint.

On sign-up, Amax is cheaper by RM100 as it doesn't charge the activation fee, which P1 does. Actually, why should ISPs charge those nonsense registration, activation or connection fees? Monthly subscription enough la!

No. Am a prospective customer considering signing up and have done my homework on comparing the ISPs, and went to the Amax 1U roadshow to ask questions. But am held off by the Amax USB dongle thing coz wi-fi-ing my house is important, so that I can terminate Streamyx and the house phone TM line. Will wait till its economical package provides the solution to wi-fi.

Why're you making this kind of assumptions? It's irrelevant to the topic at hand, and it shows your deduction skills are wanting.
