yeap it is not shared, so in someway, it will be faster.
but singnet do has its share of problems too. if u sway sway
telephone line's wiring nt gd den u also will kena slow connection.
but it can be solved by calling singnet hotline. dey will look at
it for u =)
starhub argues dat dedicated access is useless when everybody is
going thru the same internet gateway. but i beg to differ, because
if you hav dedicated access, u will get to the gateway first. in
some sense, starhub's argument is relatively weak as compared to
singnet's dedicated access.
i am not completely critical of starhub, because i find dat starhub
has its own advantages too. firstly, if u live in an area where dey
arent many starhub users or when it is "off peak", it gives u a lot
of advantages in terms of speed. because of technology restriction,
max cable speed is still faster den max speed of ADSL phone lines.
(of course depending on which plan u subscribe
)
starhub will constantly upgrade its facilities if dere are many
users in the area. BUT, juz like the custom checkpoint at woodlands
and tuas, during peak period, no matter how many checkpoint dey set
up, it can nvr satisfy the demand. it is the same for cable. during
the most "peak period", internet connection will still be slow no
matter how well or how many cables dey hav laid in ur area.
for the above paragraph, it sounds a bit bias, but if dere are so
many internet users surfing net at the same time, dun u think the
internet would be jammed and users of singnet plus starhub will hav
problem surfing the net at the same time????
juz my one cent worth of view
