Bandwidth meter
Bandwidth meter gauges the average Internet download throughput
of your cable modem by downloading a test file from StarHub
Servers. The amount of time taken to download the test file will be
computed to show the throughput speed of your download
connection.
Please note that if you are on wireless connection, your actual
bandwidth speed may vary. The bandwidth speed is dependent on
various factors including the following:
Bandwidth may vary due to the
speed enemies. The estimated
bandwidth value below applies only to the StarHub bandwidth meter
and on partner sites. Bandwidth tests conducted on other websites
may not be an accurate interpretation of the actual bandwidth
allocated to each MaxOnline user. It should only serve as a
reference.You can refer to the list of partner sites
here.
MaxOnline Ultimate*/ Premium**/ Express: Average bandwidth of
18Mbps
SurfLite: Average bandwidth of 850Kbps
* For Linksys Wireless Cable Gateway WCG-200: With the
NAT security feature enabled, the actual bandwidth speed maybe
lower due to higher overhead/resource needed to enable the NAT
security features. It is advisable to disable NAT for the above
bandwidth test. To disable/enable NAT, please click

** Due to hardware limitations, DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems
are able to hit up to 5Mbps. It is recommended to upgrade to the
latest DOCSIS 1.1 & higher cable modems in order to enjoy
MaxOnline Premium to the fullest.
Motorola SBG1000, Motorola SB4200, Motorola SB4100,
Samsung SCM140U : Up to 12Mbps
Motorola SBV4200 (VeCM): Up to 9.6Mbps
SA DPX213 (VeCM), Motorola SB3100, RCA DCM235, Terayon ECM210,
Terayon ECM110: Up to 5Mbps
Please note Motorola SBV4200 and SA DPX213 can hit up to
9.6Mbps and 5Mbps respectively due to the hardware constraints with
single chipset handling both voice and data packets. As higher
priority is given to voice packets, the other traffic (data) is
sent with a lower priority that is determined by bandwidth
availability.
