pete_parker SG I've been using 56K dial-up for the past so many yrs & it's frustratingly slow... intend to sign up for broadband finally, any recommendations?? My initial choice was SingNet 3500 kbps but having second tods aft readin thread "be careful when u r choseing ISP" http://www.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=185993 so startin a seperate thread for anyone intending to sign up for broadband recently..
Twice A Day SG I would say since u have waited so long...u could do well to just wait a wee bit more if u have no immediate needs for bb... Cheaper prices are just round the corner...But if u would need it now... I would say singnet...coz they haven already taken the 1st step in the price war...Take up a 1 year deal and it would be good enough...New isps are also round the corner...Expect more competition and i like competition
TehJarVu SG a bit off topic, but does anyone know if i can install a separate phone line in my bedroom in sinagpore? what are the criteria?
BrUtUs SG get a short plan like singnet jet pack($20+per month) if u not high volume user or a 1yr contract like singnet1500…
Ahdi88 SG from my experience wif both starhub and singnet... compare and contrast: - online gaming: i hav less "lag" when playing online games such as battlefield 2, warcraft 3, world of warcraft blah blah wif singnet. starhub is ok but i think it depends on the area tt u r staying(how many starhub users around). for singnet is doesnt quite matter. - web surfing/downloading: both about the same, depends on wat speed your broadband is on. - p2p: somehow i hav faster speed wif singnet(or perhaps because my singnet speed is faster...). but some1 told me tt starhub hav some thingy tt kinda slows down your p2p download speed so from wat u hav read... u might b thinkin --> looks like singnet is a better choice...! here comes the killers which pple will look for when they r signin up for a broadband - disconnection: my starhub disconnect only once in a blue moon... and even if it disconnect it will be up again in no time. whereas(here comes my sad story) singnet just keep disconnecting! even though i reconnects back again in about 15sec it is really really irritating(imagine playin a online match halfway and being disconnected ). some says its the modem problem... well the singnet modem i m usin is 2WIRE and i heard from my frens using the older modem(speedtouch or watever ) they disconnect less frequently... but it still disconnect more than starhub - customer service: ... i dont think i need to tell my story about this... starhub customer service wins hands-down so.... make your own choice if got any question feel free to post i will try to ans them
TehJarVu SG what is 'jet pack'? 56K unlimited sort of thing ah? 1 yr contract singnet 1500 <-- how much per month?
BrUtUs SG jetpack is limited use (either 200mb or 30hrs) but suits jz for surfing... singnet1500 is $43per mth...
TehJarVu SG oh ok thanks.. 30 divided by 30 days only 1 hr per day, i think cannot... hv to go for at least 1500 liaos...
Gordonator SG actually considering the vast amount of information that can be found on the internet, many people nowadays are spending more time online. so boardband which offers unlimited access is very ideal. furthermore the web pages today are so graphic intensive, it'll take ages to load a website on a 56k. lastly boardband prices are very affordable. a 512k unlimited plan goes for only $38. that's only $1+ per day.
