Subscribed to the service using their Wiggy USB modem, under the Personal package. Being the eternal skeptic that I am, I grilled them thoroughly, especially with their claim of 10Mbps, of course under "best effort basis"

To those came to the first Hall at PC Fair to check out their download and upload speeds, and BELIEVE those speed test, either via their own speed.p1.com.my or the speedtest.net, you have been fooled and taken for a ride, myself included.

I signed on yesterday under the impression that their 10 Mbps under best effort basis is reasonable, after looking at their download speeds of 8Mbps while inside the hall. The ugly truth is this: They've set up a base station INSIDE the Hall to achieve those download speeds. Those are not the actual speeds, they are based on MAC-address-selected P1 Wiggy modems!

----------------- 8< --------- snip ----------- 8< ----------------------

I'll keep anyone who is interested here up to date on how this progresses. I will also continually monitor the speeds I'm getting around KL wherever I go, and see if their claims of "10 Mbps on best effort basis" is even remotely true. Stay tuned!

hi stringfellow,

interesting post.
Maybe you can also write to the newspaper regarding this matter so that other people will also be careful or at least be informed of the truth.
