With all the adverts and hypes created by YTL earlier, us Malaysians have high expectations from them. Too bad for them, lots of us Malaysians are disappointed and frustrated (even turned away and say NO!) toward YES. YES, they didn't even past the first day and us rakyat already responding negatively.
Speaking about time, since I last saw this...

It will have the lowest rate in the industry with no monthly commitment and conditionsAs it turns out, nothing is true about it. You need to maintain minimum usage of RM30 per month to keep the service active. What happened to the "no monthly commitment and conditions"??

Is there any more misleading information that they tell? YES, literally. Technically YES is NOT 4G. It is based on WiMax technology.
4G as a standard defined by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) will only see its final release in 2012.Quoted from: themalaysianinsider.com
ITU defines 4G speeds as reaching 100 Mbps. By that definition, says Davies, “No one, right now, (is offering) 4G.”
As it is based on the WiMax technology, experience with P1 WiMax reminds the inability to get online on a higher floor in an office block / condominium. If you can barely get a signal at higher floors, how do we make and receive calls there? Whether this is true or otherwise, we need to watch out for reviews in the near future.
