leonalim Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Someone reported that the WiMAX modem is connected to a phone line. Anyone have better clue on this? Doesn't make sense if WiMAX needs a phone line to connect. ya it seems that was what was connected at the PC Fair demo set. Confusing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ns007 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 The entitlement for the free modem, has been extended till 30th September 2008..;) Another 13 more days before one needs to pay RM999 for the modem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent-C Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Another 13 more days before one needs to pay RM999 for the modem. There are some slight discounts too for those who subscribe before 30th of September. Just for business plan or the 2.4Mbps plan though. Pretty unfair to those whose area have no coverage. Promotion will be long ended when the coverage finally apply to most area I suppose :shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if it really works though, it is somewhat useless as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scirwode Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I didn't know there was only a one-year warranty in the first place, if so that's really disappointing. At least with Streamyx, when my modem fried due to a thunderstorm, they would replace it at no extra charge. Scirwode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be specific, by thunder and not due to overheating for long term use. This is important as if you have subscribed for a 2-year-contract plan, and your modem is fried within a month, if warranty does not cover the case, you will either have to fork RM1,000 for a new modem or pay the monthly bill for 2 years without even using the service. Is the USB modem available yet? Wonder how much it will cost for that one now. Should be safer since it requires not power input, I suppose.

Guess what, according to Cust Serv, as long as you're subscribed to WiMAX P1, if your modem has problems including fried by lightning, they will replace a new one for free, but not if you broke it yourself, like dropping it from the window etc. Even after the 2 years contract and if you continue to subscribe another 2 years or whatever, you can still change your modem if it's struck by lightning and other natural causes, or age, for FREE! About the USB modem, it is not available yet. There's no time frame when they wil launch it , but when it is, it will most probably be a separate package apart from the current ones, maybe called The MOBILE plan..then you won't get the box modem only the USB one...

Weird thing. I remember P1 showing off their USB modem (CEO showing it in a picture in the newspaper), but they are not launching it yet. By the way, what's the different between personal and business plan? Same speed but different price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
