Me uses MaxOnline 2000 since 2003 when me signed it up at the Techshow. Not bad for stable connection and even good uploading speed.

as shown above

singnet it seem like singnet has some tools 2 slow down p2p dl speed.

i useing the 10mbps plan i pay them almost $100 per month, yet i get to enjoy the bandwith i paid. i sign up the paln juz 2 dl and nw they stop me compeletly from dlin.

juz yesterday i called 2 ask them if the rumor is ture, and the operator tell me that there was no such thing. so the arugment lasted for alomost 15 min, seeing nothing can b done i hung up.

all i can say is they r indirectly cheating my money Evil or Very Mad
they dare 2 do it but dun dare 2 admit

lucky i found ways 2 bypass the problem still im very uphappy about singnet
the bad things is i hav sign a contect if not i would hav change 2 other isp

i juz wan 2 let ppl be aware that if u r useing p2p program very often think twice before chseing singnet.

Agenda SG

You want a slow moving DLer (singnet) or a not even crawling DLer (starhub) ?

rebound SG

actuallymy bro is useing starhub already, 1 house cannot hav 2 starhub connection or else will b slow so i sign up singnet in the end

yes i really regret useing singnet, im goin 2 change ISP as soon as the contract ends or even earlier.

Redblood SG

LancerVII SG

Redblood SG

if your connection is restricted … do you experience problems in hosting games such as in Bnet? ... my friends have such problems

FireIce SG

rebound SG

go hardwarezone.com 2 search for ways 2 increase ur dl speed

rebound SG

i dun think so it seems like the tools they r use onli restricted package send from p2p program

Your download speed is restricted, usually in P2P, because of a router that you are using and Windows firewall.

First of all, you need to configure Windows firewall to accept your P2P client, which is usually done by default when u install the client, so Windows Firewall doesn't really matter

Now, you need to do a simple port forwarding for your router. ALL ROUTERS block out P2P by not allowing port forwarding, by configuration of the router, u can then cancel this protection (Completely Legal). Routers only block it as a security precaution.

And so far, Pac and Sing net DOES NOT block P2P in anyway. Starhub do affect P2P speed by shaping ur speeds in ratio to your peers in the gateway. However, this does not really affect much.

Feel free to contact me for any P2P problems, [email protected]
MSN adding is ok

[ Btw, P2P is COMPLETELY legal, only downloading things which does not have a lisense is illegal. However, how many of us can control? LOL. My speed with Azureus is 800KB/s]

rebound SG

i can ensure u that it has nothing 2 do with the firewall

i've forward all the port needed for bt and even try DMZ but it does not solve the problem.

singnet is doing something call traffic shaping, this method actually slow down p2p dl speed greatly.

yes p2p is not illegeal, but singnet still block it.
if im not wrong they r stoping all this dl(stealing our bandwith) so they dun hav 2 buy a bigger sever 2 support more user.(no proof btw juz wat i think).

so the end of the stroy is....... if u use p2p singnet is not the best choice.

ditzy SG

Been using cablevision for the past 5 years, speed is still as good as the day we had it. Laughing

Sagara SG

chenc, your broadband plan is .. ?

A guess.. MOL Ultimate ?

BaByBoY SG

just to add on..

casshern SG

u r wrong. Singnet is throttling our connections at peak hour. lazy to find the article. something baout p-cube or wat

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Singnet has been lagging a lot recently. In fact, for the past 2 months.

Where you stay in the first place? If you stay in some place where there are not many residents, I won't be surprised if your download speeds is that.

Windows Firewall basically don't restrict too much like the commercial firewall available. It don't even show up in the background, of which I really doubt their firewall's usefulness.

If ISP blocks P2P, you all cannot download through them liao. Correct word would be to monitor.

800KB/s...that's like 6.4Mbps... Crying or Very sad

LancerVII SG

damn... I am itching to switch to maxonline next yr when my contract expires... Mad

I think by far, SingNet's ADSL broadband services is TRULY VERY bad.

Firstly, their Helpdesk number is really hard to get through and have a technical officer to help you. Secondly, some of their ADSL modems even though brand new, are faulty (this is true and from experience). Thirdly, their response in sending someone to check on your line/modem connection is LONG - recently my friend waited one full week!

I mean, wtf, such a big name and service is so LACK LUSTRE?

SingNet, why provide a service when you can't live up to the service standard of today???
