Demo for internet service

Adrian and myself were involved in this demo. They're trying a new solution for the broadband internet service. Thanks Jerry for loaning us his P1 modem.




Overall, the demo was success and their solution actually works!. But problem we have right now is the ISP. Yes, they need to ultilise the existing ISP in order for the solution to work. And because the signal fr P1 is so bad, the speed for the internet was extremely slow. They're looking at alternate ISP other than P1 which they think can work better.

I wont go in details on the plan. To be exact, we're not giving them the greenlight yet to start the service in CV. We have not finalised anything as we're still leaving our option open. But one thing that pulls me to this solution is because they're giving us add on service like IP phone. You guys know our exisiting intercom has endless problem. This solution can provide us with internet service and the IP phone, and we can transfer file among the resident. And another advantage is that no satelite plate is needed at our rooftop.

Ok, i wont confuse u all with more info. Let's us discuss in details with the company and getting the best plan for all of us. Please note, it is not a compulsory service to subscribe but is mainly an alternative service we're getting for all of us to think about.

Broadband service

So coincidentally, I know there's this company proposed to management for providing the broadband service in Changkat View Condo. Yes, the proposal covers the provision of internet service and a community telephony system to each unit in Changkat View Condo.

According to Suthargar during our meeting yesterday, they actually approached them last year. But at that time, the occupancy rate was low. Even, the service is up but definitely the no of user are limited to use the service. I think now is the right time.

I have study the proposal and i think the company can provide more than the one they're proposing. I have contacted the business manager and requesting them to come out with a better proposal. Expecting the revised proposal somewhere next few days.

I'm also meeting up another person in charged from another company later on at 10.15pm in Changakt View Condo. I'm not convenient to mention the names of the company but i know that there're the reputable one.

I hope we can obtain better service comes with more affordable monthly service charged. The package must be more attractive compared to existing package from Maxis, Digi, Celcom, Tm, P1 and Izzi.

I'll bring up this matter during the committee member's meeting this thursday. I'll let the committee members to decide on this matter. I'm sure the additional broadband internet facility will become an unique features to meet the new requirement for the property to increase in value.

Digi vs P1

While i searching for internet service provider, i found that Digi is having great promotion for their broadband service. Their download speed is superb, min is 700kbps but can reach up to 3.6Mbps. And is confirmed by my friend where the average speed is around 1-2Mbps depending on area. The package Explore is priced at RM108 and currently they're giving out free modem. The quota given is only 10GB. But is good enough for average user like me with limited downloading of music and movie.
Sound impressive! But when i check the coverage, Dutamas area is not in yet. It is scheduled by next quarter.

My second choice will be P1. Too bad, the sale teams stationed outside guard house not there anymore. They claimed their speed can reach up to 1.2mbps for downloading. The usage quota is 20GB. More than Digi(10GB). But the downsides, need to pay for registration fee RM100, activation fee RM60 and modem is not free. Need to pay Rm99 (after discount, before RM199) somemore. But the monthly committment fee is RM99 only. And the contract is for 12months.

So comparing head to head, both are winners. Unfortunately, if you required the service now, i think P1 will be the only choice.

I decided not to consider Maxis because expensive (Rm138) with 3GB usage only. Celcom limited usage quota, 5GB only. Streamyx priced almost similar but speed unpredictable all the time and tends to lag when downloading.

You may comment if you think otherwise.

Internet service provider

Recently there're few internet service provider ventured in and cater the needs of the resident in Dutamas area. Most of the time, i'm using maxis 3G but the price is exorbitantly high. Thinking of getting a new one. But still eyeing for a affordable one with good service. So, i managed to list out few of the service provider as following:

I do know P1 wimax is having some promotion with the modem. Not sure whether the sale representative still stationed outside the guard house. Speed wise, i think the best, but price is on the high side.

Streamyx comes with affordable price but the speed is subject to availability depending on the area usage.

Maxis comes with good customer service but i was told higher floor reception was quite bad.

Digi and celcom each come out with attractive package but i think do not cover Dutamas area. And there's this company with "A...", apparently few owners are using it.

To help me and also the other owners, I'm calling owners who subscribed to any internet service to share their experience and maybe the package signed up.
Thanks.
