You are referring to YTL Wimax, right?


1. YTL WIMAX is NOT a replacement for a fixed line service.
2. 4GB usage (cheapest rates, including all rebates) will cost you RM86.01.

Installing windows and updating all your software will cost RM50+ in bandwidth alone!

Wanted to sign up but my area no coverage and thats just next to Kota permai golf club. So no go.

yup, i did a little research, whilst my friend who subscribed to it gave positive review to it (super high speed and cost saving), it failed to meet my most important condition - coverage.. YTL's coverage is superbly lacking.. if you check out the coverage, only urban areas are well covered. none in East Malaysia, if i am not mistaken.. in Pen. Malaysia, rural area is deprived of its coverage, thus, causing me not to jump in the band wagon just yet :(

my main reason of wireless BB is network coverage as my nature of work takes me around places.. and i need the internet...

Looks like we'd never see cheap (broadly affordable) HS broadband for the mass. Most will be stuck with screamyx, 3g low speed wifi capped and so on. These companies are here to stay and ride on monopoly, make as much money to bleed the rakyat indefinitely. Idealy I'd like to see say Rm50/month for 5Mbt. My guess it won't happen.

Haha...I agree....

Few years back in a mgt meeting, we were talking about the chicken and the egg situation of bolehland's project implementations....

It is a case of whether the chicken has grown up into a hen or the egg has hatched....
:D

Cheers!

:p hmmm... you, me and the rest of the regular, ordinary, bottom of the foodchain citizens of Malaysia....

and what if you are on the upper levels of the foodchain..???. tis no secret that you'll get complimentary iPhone 4s, complimentary Unifi 20Mbps, complimentary this and complimentary that... which in actual fact is NOT complimentary, but porobaly paid for by the subscribers or users of these overpriced services... :rolleyes:

[bslee]

They can blardi give another few dozen spectrum licenses and it won't change. There won't be any cheaper broadband for the mass. Trust me..its ALWAYS rakyat ditepikan, kaompany plofit didahulukan dan cukai dipersilakan.
Bah! Bolehwood for you all forever!

The last time questions were posed to the garmen, STOOOOOOPID answers and retorts were given.. To a plain Joe like me...it means ZILCH in a hundred different languages including expression language. They're NOT going to do anything to cheapen broadband!. To a layman like me I don't care if they're headed by Guy Fawkes conspiracy gang but I just want CHEAP, EFFICIENT, RELIABLE, HS BB!..Is that too much to ask?? I bet every subscriber wants that!..AND NO!...its NOT HAPPENING! JO hit dead end flogging a stubborn horse....that seems to me!

There are two supposedly 4G providers in Malaysia namely YTL YES and P1 Wimax. There was some confusion earlier due to claims by networking gurus that P1 Wimax did not meet 4G standards. P1 Wimax has recently received ratification of meeting 4G standards meaning Malaysia has two 4G providers.

Hmmm.. I really don't care who have what and what is where..
all I want is CHEAP AFFORDABLE RELIABLE HSBB!... yes...too much to ask in Malaysia! :rolleyes:
Its seems VERY EVIDENT and APPARENT, that people have to pay higher prices for progress or an upgrade. (ESPECIALLY IN THIS CASE).

Aiyoh... this is the 3rd time you are asking for cheap and good in this thread of just 11 or so postings and yet you also said it will never happen... so why ask and ask when it won't happen.

[bslee]

Maybe some almighty reads this and make it happen?.. YOU oso untung lah! IF my wish do come true. hehehe! otherwise consider me stressing my disgust through and through. Stab! but make sure you stab and stab and puncture it SEVERELY!

YTL? the company that is one of the IPP? The one that tenaga has to an obscene amount of money for electricity generated even though TNB dont' need it? and you still want to subscribe to YES? :eek:

If your gomen is such a big sucker, why would they not take advantage of it. Just like plus , if one can get the gomen to guarantee minimum traffic and toll increases and get paid if those are not met why not. Only in a country like us, we can accept rubbish like this and still sing praises of our 1 gomen when they throw a few scraps here and there when there is a coming election. If it was you, i think you would also do it if it is going to make you rich beyond your wildest dreams.

I was a Digi user, and now I'm using Yes. If you often have to go to many places, Digi is better. I can't get signal in many spots inside Sunway Pyramid when using Yes, but not for Digi (though not perfect as well). I didn't get any signal when I was in Muar, Johor too. If coverage is your concern, don't switch. If u only go to limited areas where you could have strong Yes signal, I guess, why not? If you're a heavy user (download or stream a lot), don't use Yes as it's quite expensive (to me lah)

Hope it helps.

[cml]

At the end of the day it really depends on your usage and also please consider the fact that over time your usage requirements also change and what may not be suitable for you now maybe suitable for you later. We have to realise that there is no such thing as a free lunch. It is just that they are exploiting a niche or a specific sector of the market and that market may be huge because currently the market is forced to accept what is thrown at them by the existing telcos.

If it was so profitable, do you think Vincent Tan would wan to give up U-mobile to YES mobile?
