i'm new reseller for Amax, I'll check Bandar Utama Phase 12 and get back to you~ another way is to get trial, if u're interested~ it can be arranged easily~

generally, one of the main strengths of Amax compared to other Wimax providers are the backhaul ownership, lower latency for same range + throughput when tested and the planned upcoming growth~ feel free to PM me for any specific inquiries in the future or post here~

are there commercial buildings nearby?~

many inquiries, that's great~

Bandar Utama Phase 12 coverage I can demo for u, no problem. Taman Mayang Jaya I will confirm with u once I call my boss tomorrow during working hours.

Sungai Long will take a long time before Amax reaches there. The strategy of maximal penetration lies with covering the most densely populated place, Klang Valley.

Bukit Damansara is in the list of upcoming coverage, expect it to be ready in 2 months' time.

If there are no commercial buildings around, that means there is frequency inteference. Different frequency or spectrum will not face this problem but if u have people using Amax's frequency to transmit data, that is against the law as Amax's frequency is 2.3 and it is licensed. Whoever using walkie-talkie or any telecommunication device using this frequency will be illegal. Try finding out whether anyone is broadcasting this or not.

If the above possibility isn't the case, it may be because of new communication tower testing by other companies. Amax owns over 200 communication towers and rent them out to telcos but there are plenty more illegal towers around Malaysia which don't pay any licensing fee. The news these few months was mentioning about communication towers being brought down by City Council and Dr. M saying that everyone must start making communication tower look nice and don't fret, Amax towers are second most professional looking I've ever seen, I think u guys know who holds 1st place for pro looking towers~

================
feel free to inquire, I may not be very knowledgable but I try to help whenever I can, the questions I can't answer will be forwarded to technical department. Student package for Amax is RM60 and there is no throttling, no limit, no fair user policy and best of all, low congestion coz it's not many users right now

You sure about that? Because i saw Amax had covered part of the Bandar Makhota Cheras, And here is very close to Sungai Long and my taman. So you mean Amax is going to stop widening the coverage area here and build new tower on other location?

confirmed, I called the manager to inquire about Kajang side as I'm actually focused on Klang Valley~

the main plan is this... the faster the rate of subscribers, the faster their growth~ once customers pay, they use it as investments (I don't know how big a portion coz I'm not that high level in management) to build more towers~

Amax's strategy of expansion is unique compared to all other Wimax providers, Amax owns all their towers, thanks to Asiaspace

I'll not be surprised if Sungai Long has coverage if we suddenly get many subscribers this month~ bro, Sungai Long I'm very familiar, now new housing developed there has optional plantation and furniture right? I used to go Windmill to meet a friend of mine who stays there~ even wedding also I went there once, got a restaurant 2 floors popular for their package~

I'll keep u updated on Sungai Long

Taman Mayang Jaya already covered, we can meet for a demo, is this Saturday after 2pm ok for you?

Added on July 24, 2009, 4:10 pmyes, exactly~ u see, whoever has the infrastructure during a good economy is King... but during downtime, whoever holds money, or in other words, whoever has cash is King~

the infrastructure is already in place, Amax just need to put up towers but the question is "will there be customers?"

Added on July 24, 2009, 4:14 pmRaki, I'd like to help~ would you provide a short summary so that I can pass it to my boss?

This post has been edited by sexualpower: Jul 24 2009, 04:14 PM

sorry, allow me to correct it~ the infrastructure is already owned, just need to put it up~

this is a good question~ very subjective too~ generally the ability to transmit depends on signal strength which relies on the transmitter type, the angle which is it delivers (can be 60% bi-directional or up to 360% omni-directional), and the interference which may happen (very small possibility as the spectrum used by Amax is licensed)

small issues~ i'm not a tele engineer so I am not knowledgeable in technical details~ don't think there is any other issue except for health~above the range of 5GHz and at close range of about 10cm for more than 30mins to a satellite dish will anyone be exposed to radiation~ Wimax is using 2.3Ghz~

the range from one end to another in TTDI is approximately 6.8km (can't use radius to calculate this as the area is not completely omnidirectional, proper areas have been selected)~ radius wise in Taman University, PJ it's about 1.6km radius~

source : Amax coverage <- click here

how about a comparison with P1? I can't be biased as I am a P1 reseller anyway~

P1 is agressive, now available in Alor Setar (Kedah), Penang, Kuala Terengganu (Terengganu), Ipoh (Perak), Kuantan (Pahang), Tampin (NS), JB (Johor), KL

the range from one end to another in Tampin where there is no overlapping is 4km~ radius in Seri Hartamas is about 0.8km~

source : P1 Coverage <- click here

the above numbers are based on single communication tower capability with the assumptions of my ruler being accurate, the websites posting accurate coverages, similar transmitters used of each provider~

i'll mail my boss by tonight, on the move now~

1) there is a better choice than going registering with technicians, they do charge more than resellers! customer is always right, you can say no and take the 7-days trial first to test

2) that is true for all wireless connections in Malaysia, u have to be in the range to receive signal

3) ip address keep changing for website viewing, Amax is aware of this for a while and they're coming up with new plans but no implementation yet

4) yes, FULL REFUND in 2 weeks~ everyone here can tell u the same old story of Maxis charging RM200 for 7 days trial back in Feb09 and P1 is doing it the same, giving back only half of the deposit when u return 7 days trial~

5) I can go over to your place for demo and even provide u student package 7 days trial, just pay RM60 and we'll refund the full RM60 if u return it within 7 days~ get a sister or a brother's IC and student card to register also can~

appointment is nothing, customers are always right~ just make a call and cancel appointment, simple~ i come over to your place ready with 7days trial for u, demo for u, do ping test, speedtest, whatever test~ up to your liking~

at the end of the day, whether Amax is suitable or not, I will still provide free consultation based on my experience with Streamyx, Celcom, P1, SentralFon~ it's not only 1 choice~

sorry, my mistake~ i read back what the customer mentioned and I found that i interpret it wrongly~ it was a question rather than a statement, apparently~

all technician from Amax don't charge anything upon customer registration, only pay 1 month up front

I'm desperate for women, sex, girls, money, fame, fortune but not to the extend of giving a wrong statement~ u assumed or interpreted 2 things wrongly~ i didn't mention anything wrong about trial and there I'm not giving wrong statement because of desperation, just an oversight~ 7 days free trial wasn't mentioned in relation to cooling off period as there payment was mentioned~ anyway, no one asked on "cooling period" without any payment~

no intention to get an apology or anything of that sort, just want things clear~ thanks for your comments, most important is to get right info to clients

offtopic : hi boon, received your PM and got a call from your friend, thanks

thanks so much for your help on the Amax thread, the friends you've intro to me and I learn a lot from u too~ if u ever have lubang for hardwares like desktops, laptops, servers, RFID, barcode printer and scanners, do tell me, I'll support

it's simple really~ look at P1, they are out of cash and has dumped everything into the business and is out of cash so much so they need what the stock market calls "cash call", rights issue is additional call for more cash from stocks, which is a much better way to get cash as compared to going to a bank for a loan~ kindly refer to
->> Green Packet: Looking to turnaround in 2010
->> Green Packet to raise RM100mln via rights issue for expansion

Amax has its own plans and is wisely keeping cash flow running~ u can purchase a bi-annual financial report through the government

what about YTLe then? they mentioned spending 2.5b for Wimax but no news since then~

Redtone only has license for east coast though~

by the way, share market is one of my self-employed part-time~ advice.. time to sell, bubble burst estimated at 1,190 - 1,200

Amax is working on Taman Mayang~ wait for the map as the website will update the necessary and specific places~ the map is very accurate from my testing at Sri Petaling area~

that depends on how much support we get~ YTLe has 2.5b located for it's Wimax but it hasn't rolled out commercially yet~ Amax has similar allocated funds and has its own strategy and proving good service, unlike expensive services with Fair User Policy and small omnidirectional coverage which has much lower efficiency to cover residential areas as their base tower cannot be placed too near to homes~ bi-directional and multi-transmitter strategy as used by Amax is seen by me as a winning strategy~ it's more efficient and that is one of many reasons why Amax is able to allow Unlimited Usage~ once our sales figures increase, we may be all in a shock at how fast Amax will roll out it's coverage

let me leak out some info~ we are only using merely 10% of the capabilities of the infrastructure available~ there is more to come~

for now, I'm happy as I don't get to rest on Sat and Sun coming to forum coz I'm outside attending to Amax customers on weekends~ would u like a test at your place? free of charge, this is what I offer~

is it the area near MMU, Cyberjaya? there is no Amax coverage there~

[quote=huiqing88,Aug 9 2009, 09:07 PM]Dissapointed. The bad situation starts from afternoon till now (9:06PM) and yet not recovered!  

[/quote]

TM's fault, I can confirm 100% coz I have Streamyx wired + wireless and Amax dongle + CPE~ there was a report on the problem of the Kuantan - Balakong - Singapore line that may have caused this~

No offense bro, but your answer had a very big difference with what i saw on Amax website. Until now, Amax still claimed that they can cover entire Klang Valley by 2009, i also received email regarding the coverage issue saying that my area is in their schedule of expansion(Taman Rakan close to SG.Long)
But from your reply, it seems that u don't have confidence for that?

[/quote]


what company thinks is my opinion and speculation from what I see and think~ once something is confirmed, it will be already in the newspapers~ what u read in news is also words chosen to be written by the reporter~ what u hear from someone else is thought out by someone or passed from one person to another~

if Amax chooses to cover the entire Klang Valley by end of this year, I'd say it's superb news~ I didn't say that it isn't possible, I just mentioned that the more supporters, the faster the expansion~ which company doesn't want to expand?

Amax is the rare kind of wireless internet that provides student package RM60 Unlimited access~ no need to pay for modem~

let the people be the judge of whether Amax should be supported or not~ as for me, I'm definitely seeing a bright future and a good support, one of the reason being the good packages provided~

[quote=cannavaro,Aug 9 2009, 10:20 PM]
Even Amax's very own 'hometown', TTDI is not fully covered, according to their website.
Oh and I find it strange that TTDI Hills is barely covered since Dato Ghani of Amax lives here.

I wanted to subscribe to Amax a few months back. Went to their TTDI hotspot, was told they will send someone over to check the coverage. I specifically told the guy to call me first before coming. He said okay. Without calling me, their technician came to my house when I was at work. According to my surprised (since he came from out of the blue) family members he did the test in front of the house and in my room.

And that was that. I was thinking of getting a follow-up call or something like that. It's either there's really no coverage or someone's just slacking off.

don't let one bad fruit bring bad name to the whole farm~ allow me to tell u that no ISP is perfect~ take a look at how many threads are up complaining about Streamyx, P1, Celcom, Maxis~ u choose the best one that suits u~ that is my advise~

i apologize on behalf of Amax for the guy going over to your place~

Do you stay at Bukit Damansara, it's not covered yet~

[quote=KiddoSeller,Aug 10 2009, 02:15 AM]
wow can't believe seeing you here.

I'm QIDuo from cari.

Still waiting for coverage for your area? Good luck..

[/quote]

Coverage won't be hard, Amax do own a lot of communication towers~ feel free to take on the 7-days trial and try it~ if u're happy, we're happy and glad that u get Unlimited Usage at a cheap price and that way, our sales will increase and coverage will definitely be better~

This post has been edited by sexualpower: Aug 10 2009, 02:38 PM

it depends on how far are u to the Amax tower but being wired, Streamyx don't need to take into account any distance~ P1 definitely higher latency when the distance is the same, because of how they place their base stations~

well, everyday is a new day~ nothing stays the same forever~

but then again, it's only a speculation of yours that Amax is same as Izzi~ by now, look at the map and see how many areas are covered~ know that there are more than 200 communication towers owned by Asiaspace (Amax's mother company) and these are facts~

I'm on a neutral stand-point since I'm a reseller of many internet (except Izzi, lol)~

The map you see at Amax's website is very accurate indeed as I've tested it myself just at the border of Salak South, Sri Petaling and Bukit Jalil~ it is amazing how Amax isn't using any dirty tricks like lousy signal or not fully refunding deposit for 7 days trial~ so far no problem~

I think u guys should know, I won't hold back when I criticize, when there are anything bad about any ISP, u'll hear it from me~

feel free to take the 7-days trial~

can, no problem~ that's my job, lol~

free on Mon afternoon, Tuesday morning, Saturday anytime~
