Anyway, I always have some good excuses for not actively posting over here. Yup, there will always be something or someone to blame for my lack of enthusiasm... To begin with, there will always be work and Facebook games. These two contributed to about 20% of my absence in the blogosphere... Work is work and it will not be going away for at least another decade or so and as for Facebook, there will always be something new that comes up and drag me away from blogging. However, as I said, they are only the 20% factors... So, what's the big thing then?
That's what the title of this entry is all about. For those who have been following this blog during its active days might remember the entry about the P1 Wimax that I posted on 24th August 2010. Everything was well and despite the abundance of negative comments on the net, I still gave them the benefit of the doubt.
In early November 2010, the nightmares began. The connection was simply horrible and we could not even open our Google Mail even though the modem was showing full signal received from the base station. Upon contacting the customer services for a few times, we were told that the base station was congested and upgrade would only be carried out in the next two months time. Two months with marginal or no connection! Would you accept that? They told me that they would waive th charges but I told them that the waiver would not be able to compensate our losses and they just went quite and close the case! Personally, I think P1 is not that bad but the people who are running it, are a different story altogether...
So, to cut the story short and to make sure that P1 fans would not get overly upset and leave this blog for good, last Friday, 19th November 2010, Maxis installed their Wired Broadband at our place. If you are Facebook friends, you might have read about my status on how many Maxis staffs did it take to get this Wired Broadband installed. I really had a field day of scolding people that day... Oh well... Once I got myself connected, all the anger flew away...
For those who are not familiar with Maxis Broadband, this is NOT the wireless broadband that have not been getting favorable comments from many subscribers who live further away from the KL city center but this is the WIRED broadband provided to selected areas by Maxis.
The verdict so far. The line is fast and stable. However, I would not say that this is the best that we have so far since we want to see how this service would perform 6 months from now. Too early to throw praises at Maxis at this time. Stay tuned for our updates on this!
Next battle: To return the P1 modem without incurring contract penalty! Wish me luck friends!
