What's wrong with Starhub?!?!

[Karebu]

only good from 3am to 3pm for me..

[Mivec9]

it depends on the numbers using during the time i would say. less people use, then faster lor

[Shull]

LoL..wait for next PC show then i'm switching over to Singtel..

 

i've been on SH for the past 5-6yrs..last time use SH because of the high dl bandwidth(that time singtel offer 256kbps, SH offer 1mbps)..

 

But now, SIngtel 10mbps is offering abt the same price as SH 8mbps..time to jump lor..

[Ender]

What would be good is the authority makes the service provider reports on the mean speed at peak and non-peak hours. These type of data is more meaningful than "up to XXXGbps"

Notice the words "Up To XXGbps"? Did they promise u constant speed?

 

What is a point of putting "up to XX Gbps" if most of the time it is not?

Isn't it a form of mis-representation under the consumer Act ?

 

you work for starhub, don't u ?

But Starhub doesnt use ADSL rite? Cable Modem is not plugged through the phone line so cant be ADSL i think. I may be wrong tho, obviously not as tech savvy as u guys! Lol.

[Krazykar]

I did the opposite tho! From Singtel to Starhub. And eventhough starhub has its downsides, i feel it's still better than Singtel in terms of reliability and service. The only reason i got Singtel in the first place was because they were giving away free ipods! Haha

[Rncw]

today i received my Singnet modem and activation, speed for 3Mbps is faster than my MOL 8Mbps...much much faster

 

once your contract ends, switch !!!

My starhub contract ended for quite some time. I am trying to make a decision whether to recontract and get 25% discount (Maxonline Express - now i pay $59), or explore something else. I have used the service for the last 5 or 6 years - generally ok, there was a period of time when it was very slow in the peak hours during weekend.

 

Anyone re-contract recently? Any recommendation of a good wireless N router?

Starhub is cable modem, the more people surfing, you'll have to "share" the same pipe (bandwidth) with them. Even if you sign up SingTel cable modem, it's back to square one as they are reselling Starhub cable connection. Unless you get Singtel ADSL, then is it dedicated line.

 

For my case, I prefer Starhub as I work from home most of the time (only go back office for meeting or to submit claims), so during office hours (non peak), I got almost the maximum speed

i left one more month with them going change to singtel. speed is so slow till my singtel 512kps seems to be faster then my 10mbps starhub

 

btw what's the definition of 10mbps? upload speed...do we really able hit that speed?

 

For Starhub, according to lotsa ppl in HWZ forums, 10mbps doesn't really mean 10mbps... It is usually - according to them - more like 500kbps...

 

As for my Singnet BB 8mbps. I've tested it and it really can reach up to 9mbps. And youtube videos (at HQ or HD quality) load instantly without having to wait. Absolutely no lags. Such is the magic of ADSL. No sharing of bandwidth with neighbours!

 

I can host an 8 person online game without anyone lagging. I'm very very impressed with SNBB. Been with them for 3 months after i relieved myself from the shackles of Shithub.

I would also suggest checking if your PC kena infected and is sending out spam without you knowing

 

The last time I called up Singtel to KPKB, then their engineer came down, did a check using his notebook no problem. Then when my PC connects niah never even open outlook or explorer there's already tons of network activities going on. So engineer recommend me to scan my PC.

 

True enough kena infected.

 

My office using Qa*a worst... paid business price but crawl like 28.8 modem. but the help desk lady was really patient and helpful

 

That is odd I use Qa*a at home family 512k ADSL plan and its been smooth for years. Only had to reconnect my router once every 1-2 years (its on 24/7). I do not believe in mainstream broadband service providers really haha...

Sorry bro they are more expensive than mainstream providers thats why they are not popular. 512k unlimited (upload cap 256k) is SGD 45 already. Very uncompetitive vs the rest but I like being different as it comes with passive advantages haha...
