Totally screwed up service! I feel mine is the worse case.. the
damn firewall
which comes built in the modem blocks almost every game or software
i use.
whenever i use a software to connect to the internet for e.g
playing battlefield
2142 online or using bit torrent, the internet will start
disconnecting like
hell.. as u can see in the pic below, in 5 minutes i got
disconnected 5 times..
when i call singtel bout this, they said this is a router issue n
asked me to call
2wire.. i called 2wire and the guy was like.. "oh i oso cant use
torrent, itz very
slow and it causes your 2wire modem to disconnect due to some
firewall crap". even
after port forwarding, i didnt see ani difference.. im using mio
voice and the
phone gives me shitty quality as well.. therez a 1 second delay
before my voice is
conveyed to the other party on the phone. i really want to cancel
but when i
screwed them on the phone, they said that i have signed a plan and
will have to
pay a penalty for early termination. THIZ IS FRAUD!! Now i am using
starhub bb in
my room with digital voice and the service/quality is beyond
superb. My last
512Kbps connection was so much stable and faster than this 3Mbps
mio voice im
using now, I doubt it is the line fault as suggested by your
customer service
officer on the mio hotline

As you can see her the red line shows how many times i got
disconnected.. u may think itz because of the torrent but no..
during this disconnections, i was not able to use my internet at
all.. when i open my browser, 2wire waz showing lame bulls.hit
stuff as u can see in the pic below.
my telephone line and everything else is accurately checked.. itz
juz the router which sucks.. i also heard that u can only use
singtel router for mio.. is it true? btw i've also emailed to CASE
and my fellow frens who r in the same boat with me, please email
CASE too.
These are the lame msgs i get in my browser each time i
disconnect.. but ive
checked everything and nth is wrong.. imagine restarting your modem
5 times in 5
mins.. fu-cked up.. singtel was suppose to release mio later on but
they had to
launch it earlier due to the earthquake as singtel too vry long to
recover n lost
market share to starhub...


and finally a a minute, i get this when i didnt even do anithing to
resolve the issue.. after dat the whole cycle starts again.. get
d/c.. issue gets resolved by itself.. reconnects.. on and on and
on...

is there any other wireless modem which has voip and i can use with
my mio voice rather then this shitty 2wire hgv2700?
HAIZ! Everything seems nice b4 buying.. but after using for some
time, u'll realise if itz really worth it.. I'm really Upset With
This! Cant use it... Cant end my contract.. im using starhub
broadband now and my mio is layin ard while im wasting money paying
for it
Ppl hv even set up websites to critisize it
