Potong Now & Get a Free Prepaid WiGGY

I only have one question for P1...."Are you crazy!?" Although I find the prepaid WiGGY expensive, I still think it is a good deal over time, if they plan to reduce the price of prepaid packages. This officially makes P1 the first to offer WiMAX prepaid packages in Malaysia and probably in the world.

P1 has very good packages, but their major network problem recently is a big issue. I think they should give more focus on that before offering something like this since customer experience should be prioritise first.

Also those who already subscribe to P1 via the previous "Cut Now" campaign won't be able to enjoy this offer. I think this won't be fair to them(previous Potong Now subscribers) since that campaign is still new.

I strongly encourage potential customers to try out P1 for one month before subscribing.

Hi Kugan,
Fully agreed with what you say on network.Recently their network is not stable due to overloading.Sometimes speed go down when the modem cannot log in to the BTS.I am in this situation recently on Oct.P1 should slow down on their marketing and put in a lot more effort on the network to ensure stability.

this is a good approach.. upsell the prepaid pack from home based postpaid..good job P1.

hmm.. now i understand why Chinese MCA women are very offended by the P1 Potong TVC.. Kugan, maybe you should watch the Chinese edition of TVC. One of the scene use the words of "feeling good, faster after cut". It was spoken like in a porn movie. Whereby I compare with Malay version, it's much cut down the tone. So there is why you don't feel the pitch since you don't get to understand the Chinese edition (Chinese words).

BTW, TM has launched counter strike. ANTI-POTONG.. haha

TM STREAMYX is a joke, they are like their sibling Celcom which only COPYCAT

@Beautiful Tonight,

I speak Chinese, so I understand the Chinese version. Even said so, those words could still be related to broadband or anything else. But how you get the message is very much dependent on the person who sees the ad.
