P1 WIMAX "overtrading"??

Not to be confused with the term for "overtrading" in finance, I'm talking about overtrading from a different point of view.

One of the claims indirectly made by P1 WIMAX through their promoters is that "it's faster than Streamyx" (comparing its 1.2mb package vs Streamyx's 1mb package).

Well, as a user, the claim was true for me for only a few months. Me thinks that P1 could no longer handle the huge increase in user load. Silly me to be conned by their promoter when they told me that I will not experience a drop in speed even after the increase in users.

Previously, I could reach a maxed download speed of 140kb/s at any time of the day. And now it's only about 90kb/s early in the morning till about 11-12 noon and only 30kb/s afternoon onwards. I doubt my bandwidth was capped because I rarely download ever since my semester started few months back.

What made me so sure that P1 couldn't handle the load any longer is because each time it rains heavily (when most people turn off their pc's and modem and I didn't), BOOM! 160kb/s!

At least Streamyx was stable in providing their broadband service.. despite many complaints by other users, I somehow get better service from them LOL. Maxed at 100kb/s all the time for many years now and Streamyx has yet to fail me.

Downtime wise, P1's service is always interrupted. 3-4 times a week mostly at nites.. pfft!! Leave my pc on for 24 hours and I doubt I'll get disconnected from Streamyx unless it rains and I have to off it due to lightning or my d-link wireless router fails me.

P1 oh P1.. u disappoint me lots! I'm not gonna continue subscribing to u after my 1 year contract ends >=(
