Don't expect an ISP that does hacker activities to defend you.

I have been using Starhub broadband for the past 2 years and didnt realise how slow they were until i switch to Singtel recently. On paper, Maxonline 6mps should be 6 times faster than singnet ADSL singnet @ 1mps, but in reality, the singnet ADSL is faster.

For those still with starhub, you might want to consider to give singnet a try. they seem to be cheaper and faster.

I dont kn how fast is singnet! Question
but i did exp the starhub seen is getting slower then before.... Mad

Gazelle SG

trust me, it is worth the try. I think starhub line are too congested these days.

Starhub is cable, which means it will be super duper fast or worked as advertised when nobody is hogging the cables.

Singnet, on the other hand, is using dedicated lines. That means no matter at what time, you will be guaranteed this speed. The only time you find it slow down is when you use P2P or you use download managers. These 2 suck up a lot of bandwidth if not configured properly.

hisoka SG

lets just say that the speed advertised by starhub is not your speed alone.

its not really broadband

P2P, download manager, watching videos online, etc. You see if your network will slow down.

Me on Singnet, if I try any of the 2 combinations, I will have my connections slow down to a crawl.
