I earn money by using P1 Wimax ?

Although the connectivity is NOT GOOD but after one month of P1 Wimax usage, I have EARNED $28.74 !!

Someone actually PAID me to use their internet services !!

NOT !! This is called "Bait and Hook" marketing strategy. The contract is 24 months. If a user complain in early stage, it has a big effect to the supplier market and user also has higher chance to win in law suit or consumer tribal. The longer time it drags the less weight the user complain will become. So service provider "Bait" you up by offering one month FREE when the service is BAD and then still ended up "Hooking" or collecting the rest of the 23 months fee from you. It is Unlikely the service will be significantly improved when this strategy is used by your service provider.

PingTest vs SpeedTest

Thank god, finally someone cares more about quality and that is NOT just speed. As internet content becomes more lively ... not just flash and animation ... the key turning point is actually XHR, enable simple HTML web page to update partial of its content, giving a sense of Fast Response and It's Alive! effect.

Internet connectivity is no longer about just speed. Fast is nice but a fast connection that drops frequently is absolutely useless - like most of the 3G and WiMax connection now.

Simply because of a single introduction of XMLHttpRequest ,

traditional connection like GPRS or even dial up becomes useful again where once connected reliability is assured ( relatively ).

In order to test your interenet line quality, try pingtest.net. Below is a sample result of Streamyx 512kbps line

And this one is P1 Wimax 1Mbps line

snake oil IT businesses

source

Infoworld reported TOP 6 IT businesses that they classified as Snake Oil ... I spotted 3 of them out loud (3-5), did not agree with 2 of them (1,6) and had some reservation on #2

1. AI - is FAKE intelligence really smart or just plain stupid ?
2. CASE - I am a supporter on this but Program for the Program ? I have to admit, not everyone gets it!
3. Thin Client - when a thick client is cheap, its a THIN client, period !
4. ERP - All in ONE ! All in ONE ! But what is ALL ?
5. B2B - One of the most stupid Internet terms of all time and yet still being bought by many investors.
6. Social Webs - Let's have a serious meeting over a not-so-serious coffee table

Artificial Intelligence may be vague by itself but through the journey, we can

• know more about ourselves, how we think, why we act etc.
• eventually come up with something that is more 'natural' than today's machines

so even if AI will never be achieved, its OK. We will get somewhere. We will still CREATE somethings even if we are NOT god.

Social web by itself is NOT an engineering break through, its NOT a business so they say, because it has NOT business ground ! But then again, the whole entertainment industry started out as FREE shows, some social events etc. Until idols came out and money started flowing big time in entertainment industry. Idols are already coming out in social web ... money already started flowing ... so what if we can't get something serious out of social web, we can just earn good money out of non seriousness.

1Mbps P1 Wimax vs 512kbps Streamyx

In short, P1 Wimax is absolutely hands down pathetic. Most bit torrent downloads can't be use or need tedious and technical settings. Even simple stuff like downloading emails from TMNet POP3 servers is a problem. Their online knowledge database is practically nil.

Connection performance drops to ZERO 5-6 times an hour despite showing strong signal and strong connections.

This may not be exactly a lab test ie. apple to apple comparison but nevertheless a real life test scenarios.

2 machines are connected to 2 different broadband networks.

One is a notebook Centrino Duo running XP, 1.5GB RAM connected to 1Mbps P1 Wimax

Another is a desktop Athlon 64x2 Windows 7, 2GB RAM connected to 512kbps Streamyx

Again this proves that the technology behind is practically irrelevant; Business management, the balance between system performance and marketing effort is so much more important to end users ...

Below shows another angle of the connection line quality ... basically A is best and range down to Z.
