Promoter : Hello sir, we got CNY offer for iZZi broadband, do you want to have a look ?
Me : T.T, Sure sure ...
Promoter : As for CNY offer, we a giving "ONE MONTH extra" for iZZinet broadband user.
Me : What do you mean ?
Promoter : We are having special package that is only available during CNY, normally any broadband company will offer you a 6 month package, some of them offering one year package like Maxis. But now, iZZi broadband giving you an extra one month, a total of 7 month of internet excess with the same price.
Me : Okay, what makes iZZi broadband so special compared to the other internet provider ?
Promoter : Okay, i'll explain few advantages of iZZi broandband over the others, let say for Celcom broadband, as you took package of Rm99, you are allowed to have a total download size of 5Gb, more than 5Gb, their service will block your access & you will not able to use a p2p program anymore. They (Celcom Broadband) even offer to provide a 3.6Mbps connectivity, but not everyone knows that Malaysia only have connection with 2.2Mbps maximum unless you at Overseas & its too dependent to certain area, if your area have 3.5G, then will enjoy a good connectivity, if you a living in a bad area, say 2G, I am sure, you will not have a good connection. What about Maxis broadband ? You will have to take a one year contract with Maxis Broadband & if you are having problem with their service because get disconnected more often, I am sure you want to terminate the service. Somehow, terminating contract within a year will cost you Rm200, do you want to pay for their mistake & we do not want this. For Streamyx, they only have one tower for each area, which means, if problem occur, you will have internet connectivity problem only in your area & have to wait for few hours, but usually more than 3 days to be fully recovered. What about Wimax, P1 ? They are very good to provide a 15days trial with the service if I am not mistaken, they offer to have 2.4Mbps connectivity, somehow their registration fee is Rm100, with 12month contract of Rm99 per month, not included with the modem, it cost you Rm300 (Modem) plus its not mobile. Rm100 + Rm300 + Rm99x6 = Rm994 Wimax compared to package iZZiyou6 with Rm699 for 6months. iZZi broadband is cheaper. Furthermore, you know hackers manage to get their connection even with protection is applied.
Me : Erm, not sure. (@.@) . . .
Promoter : Furthermore we are using radio frequency. Just now, I got customer using Maxis Broadband, he/she says, I live at 7th floor, I got disconnected frequently. Do you know why ?
Me : Oh ... really ... explain ...
Promoter : If you are using cellphone broadband such Maxis, above than 5th floor you will have connectivity problem, and Wimax@P1 only able to get connectivity up to 8th floor. iZZi broadband would not have problem with the height, the higher the better.
Me : So what kind of packages do you have ?
Promoter : We have iZZiex, one, you, pro & wi with 6months of internet access. Latest packages are iZZiex & iZZione. Personal use packages are iZZiex, one and you. For sharing or multi-user packages are iZZipro6 (Rm899) and iZZiwi6 (Rm979). iZZipro6 can be use up to 4 person in single line.
Me : How do I know my area in covered with your connection ?
Promoter : Where do you live ?
Me : I live at ...
Promoter : Okay, let see (opening google earth & while waiting), btw, our tower have a wide coverage of 13km in radius, that is quite big for you to get connection. Oh great !! Your area only 2.xxkm away from this tower, the second tower is just 2.xxkm too, the third about 3.xxkm. So you should not have any problem if one of our tower get caught in problem, you still can have an access using another tower surrounding. Yet, it still much better than Streamyx with one tower per area.
Note : Any location outside these area may not available with iZZinet broadband.
Me : Anything else do you have with iZZi broadband ?
Promoter : Hm, oh, there is one more thing, with iZZi broadband you will not have any problem like Streamyx service, let say, if you wish to discontinue you may do so because iZZi broadband is manageable, after 7months of service with the package you have taken, you may stop or continue our service by top-up just like your cellphone. We have Rm50 for 17days, Rm100 for ... and Rm200 coupon. If you have credit card, then you only have to access our sites and continue get connected. Compared to Streamyx, you will still continue your subscription unless you give them a call or pay them a visit to discontinue.
Me : ....
Promoter : This is my contact no., you may call us if you are interested.
Me : Thx..
Personal Conclusion ?
4G Broadband is something new to Malaysia, but 4G connection with 1Mbps speed is something that must be change. It should be faster than this, iZZinet broadband in my area has connection 1.3MBps or 164KB/sec of download speed. This is still low compared to US with 300KB/sec download speed at least. So where are we ? Its a very good opening for the next generation with faster internet connectivity. The price range actually the same, as for now, there is only few user of iZZi broadband, so they won't have "crowded" problem like streamyx do.
