Ok technicians came about a few days after my post and "fixed"
my problem which they changed some of the splitters and cabling and
check the signal if there was any degredation which there wasnt
when they finished.
The defination being fixed was the connection was back and i
could surf and download stuff. BUT since i play online on my PS3,
i've been unable to sustain a constant connection when i host games
for Call Of Duty 4 with my friends. In short i had lag spikes quite
frequently. But in the end my friend hosts games since then so i
dont complain much.
Then Yesterday morning i woke up found i cant surf web so i
thought maybe its a one off thing which i left home and came back
evening and find my connection to be "LAG". Basically the same
problem as before but it comes and goes when it likes all day and
night. Calling starhub again and reiterating that their TECHNICIANS
fixed my side and the problem cant be with me but as usual they
treated me like i dont know my own connection and computer.
After countless calls they relented and sending over another
techician tomorrow.
I am seriously pissed off that they cant expand their bandwith
until bottlenecks then they upgrade their hardware. Then users like
me suffer!
The problems will not go away even they came to fix
it. I am still having my prob.
The main problem is starhub does not really put in heart and
soul to provide good service.
So just don't continue your contract with them.
They claim it is 2 mb for the internet but it is slower than 1mb
from singtel.
