Streamyx was down today. Half a day. My colleagues had to tap on unsecured Wifi (scarry – insecure) . I called the helpline and had to go through process. I was very professional so they escalated my problem to Level 2 Tech. That is the trick. Convince them, and go through the ping and gateway ping processes in order to identify the problem (DSLAM or My connection), I also informed them that other people in the area could not connect and Cyber Cafe around the corner had to put up a sign * No Internet – LOL.
The connection recovered at 2.45pm. I suddenly realized that we need a secondary connection. P1 / Or Amax. I picked Amax. Fiz my colleague and best friend called their agent and she returned the call 10 minutes later (she was driving 
). Amax sent two techs in orange car, me and another colleague saw the car on the way to the parking lot. I said to my friend, look at that amax car, they probably looking for our office.
Amax WIMAX
When I was at the Datacentre installing and troubleshooting servers, Fiz called me up to inform Amax already done testing and deploying our backup internet connection. Yay!. According to him installation was a breze and yes the guys in amax car were the assigned installer techies. I took the modem home and use it to surf and blog today.
Here is the continuous ping result. We subscribe for 1Mbps package only 
My SSH connection is also stable compared to 3G. Please take note this is Wireless so you could not compare with Streamyx (my office) or Time Netlynx (my home)
One thing I noticed about AMAX, they tend too keep changing ips, upstream and downstream not too sure. I had problem with my company billing system. Thank god I tweaked “Disable Session IP Check” and I managed to log in to the billing system. I had trouble logging to other pages that require session IP check though.
What is the point of all that? Load balancing? Keeping Bittorrent tracking confused? As for normal surfing I think it is sufficient, Winamp and Youtube, stutters though. To sum it up. Good job lah for Wireless. Definitely better than 3G.

I’m considering to subscribe to Amax too, since it’s the only unlimited usage ISP (for such a low price) in malaysia besides streamys…May I ask u a few questions?
1. How is it compare to streamyx 1Mbps package in terms of speed and stability? Isn’t wimax suppose to be faster than broadband?
2. Never heard of Netlynx..where’s their website?
Streamyx is more stable. DSL is far superior than Wireless.
For Netlynx, if you condo phone line by Time than you can subscribe
here is the link FYI http://time.com.my/consumer/time_broadband.asp
I see..Thanks for your reply!
yeah..if want stable then is streamxy.if want portable is wimax. If u want try amax aso good..because it no capping ..Unlimited download .I agree too. Amax better than 3g if your place got coverage.

My AMAX IP always changed, how to overcome this?
My office system detect this as brute force + dictionary attack which i cant use the system while using AMAX. thinking to unsubscribe soon
Hi Mat,
Yes this is one of the drawbacks of Amax, I could not log in properly to secure web sites that enables IP session check. If you have that option please disable that. Another way is to request IP range from Amax (ip address used by amax) and put them in whitelist (server or firewall).
