IT PVP

Few years ago, in Malaysia, when talking about ISP company,
most of the people will think about Tmnet Streamyx,



but today, people will think about another ISP company-P1 Wimax.





Before P1 appear in Malaysia, Streamyx is the only choise of malaysian,
And now, these two ISP fighting each other, this is what the user should feel happy.
But what is the strength or weak of them, this is also the user more care about.

There will still be many factor to effect the connection , speed, and others,
so here is just for reference:

1st Speed

Speedtest for P1 on the left and Streamyx on the right:





From:http://v1.hehehunter.com/updates/speedtest-for-p1-and-streamyx/

As we can see, P1 is more faster then streamyx.
P1=1 Streamyx=0

2nd Price

Streamyx


*1st bill received will include the following fees:

1. RM75 for activation.
2. RM88 for installation (if applicable).
3. First and 2nd month advanced subscription fee.
4. RM10 for stamp duty fee (effective 1st May 07).

P1

*Charges
Registration Fee	:	RM 100 (Upfront Payment)
Activation Fee	:	RM 60 (1st Bill)
Paper Bill	:	RM 5/Mth (Optional for Home Plans)

For the price,take 1mb pakage for example:

Streamyx
Without modem:RM88(12month)=RM1056

With modem:RM99(24month)=RM2376

P1
Without modem:RM99(12month)=RM1188

With modem:RM99(12month)+RM199 or RM99(12month)+RM20(12month)=RM1387 or RM1428

With modem:RM99(24month)+RM0(Free Modem)=RM2376

So,for the user already have a modem, streamyx is a good choice,
but for the user don't have a modem, P1 is more choices for them.

So,both 1 mark,
P1=2 Streamyx=1

From the link we can see, streamyx cover most of the place in Malaysia,
and the place P1 cover, Streamyx will also covered because the line is rent from Tm.
so,
P1=2 Streamyx=2

Most of the user who changed their ISP from Streamyx to P1 will changed back to Streamyx because of P1 is still not stability, and it is using wimax, so the connection have to depent on weater, location, building and others factor.

so,
P1=2 Streamyx=3
