Getting Connected

Just so you know P1, I had to go out this afternoon and get myself signed up with DIGI broadband just so I can get connection. That was good money wasted and now I’m contracted with DIGI for an entire year! I have to pay them RM88.00 every damn month and pay you RM99.00 for a connection that hardly works seeing as how I’m still contracted to you. Where is the justice in that?

I work from home and rely upon the internet for my livelihood. Just today, I was only able to get connected for an entire 10 seconds in total, I kid you not. The rest of the day was spent staring at the PC and praying to whatever gods there that could help me get connection again.

It’s been 4 days since I made my report and so far no one has even bothered to call me and tell me that they’ll be able to get my connection working again. Do you guys really not bother about your customers? Are we just lowly people whom are not important at all to you? Don’t I pay my bills on time every month?

I’m going to wait and see how long it is going to take you guys to rectify my issues. It’s not something I can do myself seeing as how my modem is an external one attached to the second floor of my house. So before I actually really lose my patience with you guys and actually go to your office and make a big issue out of this (trust me, I capable of doing that), I hope technician turns up or at least call me to get something done.

Until then, I shall just have to use DIGI just so I can continue earning an honest living with no thanks at all to you guys at P1 Wimax. The only BIG draw back with DIGI is that wifey and me can’t surf at the same time … siggghhh … I guess some connection is better than none at all, right?

PS. Gallivanter, oh how I envy you buddy!

  7. Hi there,

    Not to worry Mr. Phillips i've spoken to our engineers the time frame for them to execute this is around 25th - 27th March. However, for the technician request which is still on the pending list- As the radio frequency team has informed them not to visit until they had finalize "network connection". Trust me our engineer are in the midst of working on it.

  13. Hey Nick, this problem sounds so familiar but with Streamyx though. I used to face such downtime when I was connected through Streamyx.

    I've been using P1 for almost a year now and lucky for me, although I'm right on the edge of their wi-fi range, my connection had been almost consistent all the time, except during heavy rain.

  14. Wenny - When I first had P1 with their internal modem, things were pretty good and fast, then it got bad. They came and gave me a free outdoor modem which was wonderfully fast, then it degraded again.

    My real complaint is with their customer service people save for one guy who is the only one who actually works there, the rest I have no comments.
