My Life, My Pace

After work (which is now), I came home and tested out the new connection. Although the signal color on my P1 modem shows that it is weak (red), but it was still fast as I only need about 5 seconds to load the login page of Blogger (maybe cache?)

I took the RM99/month package which is a 1-year subscribtion contract which I have to add-on an additional RM20/month on-top of the RM99/month for the modem for a year, that is if I decide to stick with P1 after the 15-days trial period.

The installation is hassle free, except the fact that they recommend you to place the modem near the window. I find this request quite ridiculous because I do not have any plugs near the window in my room... and furthermore, their power adapter wire is quite short as you could see in the picture above.

You could make this connection wireless by simply plugging the LAN cable which is connected to the P1 modem to a wireless router (as told by the salesman). Well.. so far, my area at Seksyen 17... The connection sucks =( well... to bad for me I guess... since their transmission tower is quite far from me... My say is.. unless your area is listed as a hotzone, don't get it.. Just because the epicenter of the transmission might be near your area, but it doesn't mean you could get blazing fast speed... I'm gonna cancel mine tomorrow unless they can promise me a minimum of 1mb by the end of this week..

I decided to use the P1 yet again even after I ranted about it, as you can see, the screenshots are taken a day after I created this entry. I'm left with no choice but to adhere to P1 service because Maxis has throttled by broadband connection since Maxis only allows a pitiful 3GB/month limit. To my surprise, the P1 connection turns out to be quite fast. I could enjoy a game of Cabal without delays and I could also join various Left 4 Dead games on Garena without severe lagness. One thing I notice about the P1 service is that, the longer you use it, the more stable it becomes.

I stumbled upon this blog while surfing around UCPRO forum, because I was reading my friend's blog in UCPRO. They were discussing about the much anticipated P1 WiMax service. It is very in-depth. So for a more in-depth review of the P1 WiMax service, you can visit this blogger's blog:

They seldom joke, talk and even care less of my participation in their activities..

And the way they replies me nowadays are all one sentence then done, there's no humour in it like it used to be...

Just because that I'm in a relationship now doesn't mean that I have to be treated this way.. Does it mean that if I want to join them, I have to be single? Doesn't make sense to me..

Aren't friends supposed to accept each other through thick and thin? Aren't friends supposed to be supportive and lend a helping hand when we need them?

Or are friends just there when you are like them?

I don't understand.. I've always been a "once a friend, forever a friend" kind of person and I still am now.. but it seems that my friends are giving me the 'cold-shoulders'...
