I still remember the event when P1 first launched their Wimax service in the country. Since 2 years ago, I’ve made some great friends in P1 and I even got the chance to review the Lenovo Ideapad V360 Wimax laptop. And yesterday, I was invited to attend the launch event to cover the P1 One Plan broadband bundle which was hosted at the P1 paddock – customer service hub.
I bumped into Nuffies; Rachel and Dustryhawk, when I got there. There were more bloggers whom I wasn’t familiar with but I guessed so much, they were the Nuffnang bloggers. Unfortunately, I ain’t one of the A-list bloggers so I was invited personally by P1 instead. 😉
Speeches and Games
The gist of the P1 One Plan is it’s a 2-in-1 broadband bundle consisting of the P1 4G modem with WiFi AND the slick P1 4G super wiggy – portable modem.
This plan came about primarily because after P1 did a consumer study on the Malaysian broadband behaviour, they found only 7% of portable modem users correctly utilized their device. Yes, I went what the fack too. And what was even more surprising, apparently 45% of subscribers use their portable modems exclusively at home too.
Now, for the non-techies, here’s what Michael Lai (P1 CEO) wants you to realize.
…portable modem is not optimized for indoor usage.
Yes, it’s a fact, size does matter. Especially, the antenna of the device.
So, what does the P1 One Plan broadband bundle prices look like? Have a gander.
Once all speeches by Michael and Ikhwan was done and the questions and answers session finished, P1 arranged mini games for us bloggers. There was a quick puzzle game which me and another blogger won a prize, what looks to be a laptop sleeve. Then, a final game of tossing balls into a pail was played.
By the end of the speeches, I was already hungry. So the moment we were given the chance to feast, I dived right into the grub.
I gobbled 4 slices of already cold pizza and I don’t think it was meant to be our dinner. Oh well, at least I left without an empty stomach. 😀
Bravo to P1 for coming up with the ONE plan. It shows that they make customers’ convenience their priority for the customers to enjoy better broadband experience.It makes things so much simpler too. Kudos also to P1 for educating the customers about the different devices that are meant to be used for different conditions. 2 devices under 1 price….makes things so much easier and better.
Coolies. Which area is your coverage?
my area is in Mont Kiara. 🙂 are you using P1 too?
I used to use it. 🙂
its not much different from the super broadband package. Convenient that you can pay for the whole plan with 2 devices for 1 bill. But its good that the public knows about the different devices’s usage in different conditions.
Danny u not gonna try using P1 again ah?
I might. But not for now. Company currently test running YES and DiGi tethering has save me numerous times.
But yes, I know P1 is expanding and servicing areas which matters most to their customers. That’s a definite +1 point. 🙂
yeah…lets hope P1 actually will continue improving. That could actually bring some good competition into our market. We need more competition. No monopolization. Good products and good competition with Price wars could actually benefit us.
