[eugehet]

Do guys have installation of driver problem?
Btw my boss used it, look pretty stable

[skipbeat]

Just got mine today. 1.8mbps plan. I feel like stabbing myself for signing up before checking the feedback from hwz. ZZZ. I think my dial-up from donkey years ago was even faster than this. Salesman still had the cheek to tell me, "Of course, very fast".

"Ericsson to Enhance the Mobile Backbone Capacity of M1 of Singapore with Microwave and Optical Transmission Technology

Ericsson today announced that it has won a two-phase turnkey contract to implement microwave and optical transmission solutions for M1, one of Singapore's leading mobile communications providers. The project will vastly enhance the capacity of M1's mobile network backbone to meet the current and anticipated traffic increase in their mobile network resulting from an uptake of the operator's mobile broadband services.

Under the agreement, Ericsson is to supply, implement and maintain full turnkey microwave and optical transmission solutions that allow optimization on both network and sites - acting as the backhaul of M1's wireless broadband and cellular traffic - thereby resulting in a more robust and cost-effective network.

The transmission portfolio, comprising of Ericsson's MINI-LINK solutions, Optical MultiService Metro-Edge (OMS) platform and the ServiceOn management system, is expected to rollout in early part of 2008 and will involve several hundred sites across Singapore.
The two-phased project will focus on expanding the capacity of these 600 sites and fully utilizing backhaul speeds, thereby improving performance of M1's transmission network.

Ericsson's MINI-LINK portfolio can be optimized for simple installation with a compact, capacity agile outdoor unit. New base stations or interfaces can be added to the backhaul network configuration in a matter of minutes, thus minimizing maintenance and upgrade costs.
Neil Montefiore, M1's Chief Executive Officer says, "This announcement marks a significant milestone for M1 as we are now more self-sufficient in network ownership. We have chosen Ericsson as their microwave transmission solution provides us with a platform for flexible, scalable and cost-effective network expansion and management, in addition to helping us meet the emerging challenges of next-generation networks (NGNs)."

Ann Emilson, President and Country Manager of Ericsson Singapore says: "Today's announcement underlines the trust and confidence M1 has in Ericsson's proven technology and our commitment to deliver quality services. We are honored to help M1 meet its goal of being an innovative mobile communications service provider that is constantly seeking ways to offer superior user experience to its subscribers."
The contract also further cements Ericsson's leading position in converged metro and access transport networks and leadership in the short haul microwave market. About 450 customers all over the world have chosen the MINI-LINK solution and Ericsson has a market share of more than 40 percent of the short haul microwave market."

yeah. singnet contract ended so i decided to try something else since i was pretty pissed about singnet cheating my money. i've been using my m1 mobile plan forever so it's like a loyalty thing.

oh wells. if things don't go well after a month, i'll drop them a nice email to ask for a discount as compensation (we're in sg after all) for my disappointment.

[sin77]

m1 abit late to announce this.
I cancelled my mobile bb and mobile phone line just because of their bad network for internet.
If i knew earlier, i might have stayed.

Hi Guys, anyone out there can help?
I have subscribe M1 mobile BB and has a Huawei E220, wondering is the Huawei E220 work with singtel SIM card? If it work, how to do it?
Thanks guys

[passion81]

The Huawei modem is rented to u and has to be returned to M1 right?
The Huawei modem is sim locked (like the iphone) and only can be used with M1 sim cards unless u can unlock it somehow.
But the best way is to have a trial!

[winternights]

anyone herer using the linksys 3g modem issit better connection using that device?

[babylon78]

[FireHobbit]

[tan8888]

M1BB is suck....
since day 1 i sign up with this stupid M1BB, i regret it....
it has cause my blood level go up each time i use it for past 2 months...
called the customer service and technical support, but useless... no improvement at all..

finally decided to put it in "fridge", and never used for 1 month liao, email to M1 (via M1 website) the problem and ask for waiver of early termination penalty, but still the standard reply "our technical people will look into this, and will contract you"... but already more than 3 weeks, still nobody called me.

can anyone give me any M1 manager email id, so that i can complain to the manager directly.
Thanks

[joanne00]

haha keep calling 1627 and irritate them. u're customer. always right.

[limce1]

**** ! Should have read this thread before signing up. My singtel dial-up just gave up its ghost on April Fool's day, and I was forced to seek a broadband plan. I went to Sun Plaza, tot of signing up the Singnet 1Mb plan, but the shop there (even tho listed on the Singtel web) says "in a couple of weeks time, then can reg broadband". Stupid ! So, an M1 shop just below, and say can connect straight away, also the 512 plan just 6 months contract, grab la. Aiyo, really vomit air (blood also no more !). Even slower than my dial-up last time. I kept connecting for the past half hour, then only manage to come in here to complain !

Anyway, I'm using this Hua wei E220, seems that everytime I switch on my pc, it cannot detect, must unplug/plug the usb port, then it come on, is it like this ?

And, (I also posted another thread, but no one answer yet), there is a usage limit to set, how high to set ?
What connection, manaul or auto, should I set ?

[yi_shiang]

And, (I also posted another thread, but no one answer yet), there is a usage limit to set, how high to set ?

There is no usage limit. Now ish Unlimited one. Back in Nov/Dec is limit to 5GB per Month.

[Ah-Pin-Kor]

I oredi give up on the M1 BB (512k plan), even though I still have a few more months contract.
The performance is just not consistent. When it gets slow, it's even slower than dial-up !
Sometimes, you have to disconnect and reconnect back.
:s27:

[s330063]

i have changed from m1 to singtel, great difference, no disconnection problem and also speed rather consistent

[tan8888]

There is no usage limit. Now ish Unlimited one. Back in Nov/Dec is limit to 5GB per Month.

of course give you unlimited usage la... because you can't even connect properly, how to hit the usage limit, even 1GB per month also can't hit...

[mistersoh]

terrible.. terrible...

I was about to sign up sometime ago.. until i started reading this forum..

It seems, it's really so terrible!! :slant:

[wherehouse]

The system is already up! M1 Broadband is now serving out lower-quality images in order to reduce network traffic. If you're using M1 Broadband, you would have noticed most of the images on your web pages are blurred.

Yeah, seems like the system got upgraded... much, much faster now :D

My Huawei modem was on GPRS mode (green light) for quite some time just now and I thought "what the heellll....."

Then it switched back to HSPDA (cyan light) and everything was fast... I can play youtube videos without pausing it first to load!

I can't detect any blurry image.... can you show me where to test for this, if any?

I'm on the $38 plan.

[leaving_footsteps]

Anyway, from what I know, by the end of this year, M1 network will be faster. Top speed will hit 14.4Mbps. But of course, I doubt that can be hit in practice.

Well, last night I documented my experience of what seems to be in the midst of M1 "upgrading" in my post below.

After that I am able to watch, uninterrupted, any 10 minutes video on youtube without needing to let it load at least halfway.

Surfing webpages also had improve... hardly getting any page "stuck" like before... at least things are moving along and more tolerable.

Although, I cannot confirm whether any actual system upgrading had been done... but surfing, streaming and downloading is so much better than before for me.

they should up e speed n up their contract duration, else 6mths down e road, all will still run
cos their speed really cannot make it
with their new feature, even worst

last time was always disconnect, once inawhile need to reconnect, if lucky, will connect without issue for 5hrs+
speed slow nvr mind, can wait
disconnect nvr mind, can reconnect
but now they put e new feature of reducing website pic quality, haiz

I was confuse why other people get blurry image but I didn't.

I usually use Safari on OS X, but few days ago I fire up Firefox and saw what you guys mean.

So the problem is browser specific?

I use both avant n firefox, both give me issue, nvr try IE
but wat i did mentioned/encounter b4 is tat if ur connection is really gd, constant @ 3.5G/HSDPA, u might not have tat blur image issue
but if ur connection in 3G/GPRS, then 100% blur image

Wah!
Whats the difference between 1.8Mbps and 2Mbps ?? :s11:

can they really hit this ?? :look:

[wherehouse]

lousy marketing... cant even be consistent, still dare to up the speed numbers.

maybe its their bandwidth conservation proxy that degrades images by 20% so they can claim more bandwidth available

No, I try Safari for XP, Opera, IE, all same result. Also can some1 confirm on the m1 when surf on hardwarezone, you see NO image?

I also feel the same thing, after "upgrade", my modem keep on disconnecting

"compression" goes up to 30%(saw a 3xKB pic to 8KB), but problem also comes in. When u try downloading from websites that asks for image verification(like BADONGO), the page will non-stop loading due to the picture cache from different ip address...

[askh52]

.... upgrade to a new firmware i can see back the "low quality" pic in hardwarezone
but, they still cannot reach 2mbps

http://www.speedtest.net/result/265456611.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

But I got some tricks up my sleeve to get that kinda speed with their $38plan.

First I flashed the firmware... that alone will boost the speed.

Then I do this

That is not the pic on my setup, but you'll get the idea...

Are u using the M1 HSDPA Modem?

How u flash it if I may know?

I love the speed u get. I cant get that fast even on the $38 plan aka 2 Mbps.

I get mostly 100 KB/s which means only 800kbps.

[tanjhj]

even flash firmware, the bottleneck will be still there for actual surfing..

[liangtam]

Sounds like placebo effect
Ish M1 signal so weak in first place? dun think so...

If get <90% signal, u put noodle wok oso useless, becos peak liao.

Yeap, using M1 HSDPA Modem.

You have to search G to learn how to flash it... I'm not sure if posting how-to flash will incure the wrath of the mods in here :D

even flash firmware, the bottleneck will be still there for actual surfing..

Before flashing early this year, my speednet test can only hit 300 to 400kpbs. Immediately after flash it jumps to 700+kbps.

Sounds like placebo effect
Ish M1 signal so weak in first place? dun think so...

If get <90% signal, u put noodle wok oso useless, becos peak liao.

Have you try it?

Without dat strainer wok thingy, I usually can wait more than 1 minute or even as long as 5mins to get a single damn page to load.

After 5min i will give up, quit, unplug usb, replug, curse, pray and continue surfing :P

With wok, 5 second lag at start den page load in 10 to 15 seconds.

Works like a charm day, night, peak, off peak.

All I can say, it is definately more tolerable... now I just need to make a smaller flatter version for outdoor use ;)

--------------
I take conclusion that M1 "blur" image using some useragent mechanism.
IE and Mozilla useragent seems to be in their "blur" list (Firefox and Flock are similir, Mozilla useragent).

I dont know why Opera useragent is out from this.

To verify this conclusion, I change Firefox useragent in about:config into Opera, and the image is loaded as the same as Opera. This is the best workaround I can find that will make Captcha works, but it has big drawback that some site will failed partially or completely in loading (using Opera useragent in Firefox will make quickreply of HWZ forum unusable).

Btw now seems there is no more blur image. But the M1 re-route image still annoys me. It make captcha failed completely. They are idiots!

First, i got same problem in opera 9.27(but identify as IE, maybe the root cause) Safari, IE, (dun have FF).
Second, wat is captcha? I was facing the same issue with Badango, but seems like they somehow manage to fix it

Update: I found out only identify as opera will solve the loading pic issue...
Opera can have low quality pic if you want... try to surf hardwarezone with opera identify as IE and identify as Opera

[raijinshou]

As I said, if u use useragent "opera", no blur image.
If u use useragent "IE" or "mozilla" (can be set in opera setting and other browser setting too), it will be blurred.

For unknown reason, useragent "opera" is not in M1 list of "blurring".

Captcha is the code u type in certain site for registering or downloading (preventing bot). Badango uses on for downloading afaik.

For opera user, stick opera useragent to "opera". the page will load without M1 intervering.

CS? forget it, you need below 60ms ping to play with acceptable speed...
For MMORPG, should be no problem, like WOW, average ping is arn 100-200

But I feel M1's wap website is had more content and more user frenly... Singtel seems like a standard webpage...

Singtel one cannot do any voice call, M1 can(chargable).

Both can do smses which is chargable also.

hello, website where got use. it is the actually surfing experience that caounts. ST customer service is better than M! and also faster surfing than m1.

most importantly the 50gb cap is not an issue as u can almost impossble to reach that. a;so you will recieved sms from ST when u reach 25gb 40gb data used.

ah yoh i bluff for what, i can even play wow or dota leh. in fact i get 512kb 1st becoz i can always upgrade anytime i like mah. but u cannot downgrade leh. dumb..

now 512kb is more than enough for me coz i dun need to download much. most download done at home pc.

all in all, M1 sux even if they gif free upgrade to 1 mb, it cant beat ST in speed or Price. ST ish $11 per month for 512kb only!

Why i say m1 sux? becoz even go to their bugis m1 shop to test their BBOM also they lag. I tested ST BBOM during the packed Expo on sun eve yet the speed is damn good... what u think?

This is my MOL line. Even my 512kb BBOM is faster than it in surfing and loading youtube...FYI i am on wireless router

thanks. I saw that they used to have a 2GB cap (from 1st page of this thread), but M1 removed that clause recently. Hope that's really the case.

Hi all!
Just to add my experience.
I did not test the speeds but having just changed to singtel bbom 512 using today.
I can clearly attest that singtel 512 is faster and more stable than M1 1mb (which I was still using till yest)

Should have made the change way earlier man!!

I did some simple experiments. For Firefox/Flock users, you need to remove all mentions of "Firefox" in your user-agent string in order to bypass M1's meddling. For instance, I changed my browser's user-agent string from

"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080414 Firefox/2.0.0.14 Flock/1.1.2"

to

"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/2008051203 Flock/1.1.2"

Now I can see clear images. But the flipside is that a small number of web sites such as Facebook Chat are not able to recognize my browser anymore. Majority of websites such as Gmail, Google, HWZ forums still works fine. ( I can still manage to post this reply :) )

It's a fine balancing act to choose a user-agent string that skips M1's detection and yet is informative enough for the real web sites to detect your browser type.

Resources:

How to know what's your current user-agent string: http://whatsmyuseragent.com

M1 seems to lose out the market share even they are the first to release 3G BB in SG.

[FireHobbit]

but they did not do anything to improve their service...

[chicardo]

I've been using their service for 6 months. Alot of disconnection more than 3-4 times within an hour. Cannot do any decent downloads with such a crappy connection. Called them a number of times (7-8 times) to complaint about their poor service.

They even tried to reduce JPEG quality images to save bandwidth which I told the customer service it's a stupid idea.

Google Talk disconnection every 5 minutes today. Called them and they gave me the same reply "I will get my technical department to investigate". So my verdict for M1 Mobile Broadband is it is "CRAP!". I gave up waiting for them to get their act together. Terminated my subscription today.

what u change to?

[chicardo]

Changing to Starhub Mobile Broadband besides the new 170E is cute.

[singchyun]

Hi Chicardo, do keep us here posted on your satisfaction level of your new Starhub mobile broadband. Will be useful for those of us here who are looking for better alternatives to replace our M1 broadband.

Anyone knows why upload is so high for M1?

they claims the upload speed is 384kbps what......

[FireHobbit]

rubbish service... IMO

[tanjhj]

who cares about their claimed. just like Starhub. claimed the big fat pipe. knn like big fat chocked artery that need wurgery. my singtel bbom is faster than my sh mol12000 on surfing. just go with the trusted, less likely to go wrong.

Hi all,
I would also like to share my awful experience subscribing to m1 broadband.

For the past 6 months on this plan, I experienced one of the most horrible internet surfing experience. I am not getting 3G connection and I was told replace my SIM card only after I filed an online complaint. Then I am getting 3G but the download speed only averages 20-40 kb/s, this is like a few KByte/sec. I cannot even access Yahoo SG and asiaone.

The most interesting part is the technical support, they claim that my notebook ( which I just bought) is the root of the issue and insist that I bring it down to show any M1 staff. When I told them that I tried on 3 notebooks and still get the same results, the technical support then advises me not to subscribe this service.

I was mad and rushed off to M1 to terminate after waiting for 6 painful month. I would not recommend anyone to sign this up unless this serves as a backup ( which makes a lousy backup).

This service totally unreliable and if you go to any M1 shop to give it a try, you will most probably experience the broadband not working too. I tried 3 times already.

Probably there are lucky people too there, but for me, I will never go near M1 broadband.

Just sharing my experience.

step 1: block images with 172.31.254.24*
http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn316/mix86not/firefoxBlockImg-1.png

step 2: replace with actual image
install greasemonkey addon from http://www.greasespot.net/
download script from http://www.badongo.com/file/9559344
uninstall previous version of this script and m1bbBlurImgfix (if any).
drag script(file) and drop in firefox window to install.

if image still blur, toggle nguncompressed

Now that we know M1 broadband is so unreliable, which of the other two mobile broadbands - Singnet and Starhub - is the better choice? I'm thinking of terminating my M1 broadband and looking for better alternatives.

Unreliable? Look at those threads which complains abt singhell or starbug MBB.

This is a forum which only ppl file for complains. I have an old school vodafone card which hv a limit of 384 kb/s which seldom fail me for the last 2 years.

I am not a fanboy of M1, I cancelled my M1 mobile plan after 8 years of relationship. But for mobile BB no one can claim the king thats for sure. IMHO, the one who offer short contract wins. I also believe hardware makes a different. Thats the reason I don't change to that damn usb modem to achieve what so call 1000 kb/s. (Post via M1BB)

m1 is time to wake up... before people all jump ship

[Chai_Latte]

I just saw that M1 slashed their Broadband 2000 and 3600 plans by 50%.

http://m1.com.sg/broadband/m1bb.htm

Buuuuuttttt..... scroll down to the fine print... if I understand correctly, they will tie you down with a 24 months contract!

I wonder if they automatically switch us to their 50% off plan without our permission?....

I don't want to be tied down to a 24 months contract... I'm very eager to see my next billing statement.

i think m1 is the most bohua one among all telco... no free modem... price is normal... not very impressive.... then line quality is not very good....below standard....;););) i think surfing using m1 bb is already very painful, not even talking abt BT la....

[JivBunny]

2 weeks ago, I gotten the M1BB 1Mbps - Surfing was totally unbearable because I used to be on MOL12k. After a while, i got used to the sucky service by M1BB and it has become tolerable..........

Until my company decided to give me Singnet Mobilebroadband 512.

And seriously...........Singnet Mobile BB 512 PWNED M1BB 1000 TOTALLY. KNOCKED FLAT.


Singnet Mobile BB was fast fast fast fast and not much lag. Similiar to surfing broadband.

M1BB was so painful.....PLUS THE STUPID PICTURES ARE ALL NOT CLEAR.

Too bad i am still stuck with M1 till ard Nov. THEY SUX !!!!!

[mrleech]

M1 is going to do a upgrade soon. Dunno if it will help.
Got my wavier, so no bother to me.

I am not expecting lightning speed.
But most of the time, it is crawling.......

In fact i thought M1 have the better deal.

Until I knew that the Singnet Mobile BB 512 which my company gave me cost like only $12/mth x 1 year + the modem is free.

[JivBunny]

Not so bad la,

I didnt know my company was so nice to give me a Singnet Mobile BB with the new laptop.

Anyway, at least someone is paying for me the other mobile BB.

:)


But M1BB really sux. Think I will pass to my wife to use it ;)

[liangtam]

so the modem remains property of company or become urs liao?

if u think that m1 is more value for money then u are totally wrong, the winner should be singtel especially for their 6mths free promo....;);););)

u seriously think that ur company gives u the mobile bb is good? u should think twice... the company gives u that becos they expect u to work even when u are at home or outside....haha ;);) u are just thinking too simple already....haha

Its not my first job nor my first day at work. Of course when all these are given, I know the consequences. :D

But it is within my job nature that requires me to be on standby what and they have asso given me a blackberry on that account.

I did feedback the inconvenience that when I need to open attachements on the go, it can be quite troublesome on the bb. Guess thats why they gave me the mobile bb.

Maybe I should whine about my laptop heavy, and hope that they give me the HP Mini Notebook, since they replace my T2300 Core Duo laptop with a T8300 C2D after i complained the old one is too slow. ;)

Ya la, i was half toying with the idea to get M1 or Singnet then......

But I didnt know that it was 50% off and Singnet have the 50GB limit.

Now i know why M1 took the cap off.......cos at the rate their M1BB is working, i probably take years to hit 50Gb.

singtel bbom, ya, got 50GB limit, but for my case, 512kbps plan only when u are downloading at least 10 hrs and above continuously then u can probably hit 50GB limit...

ur second line is exactly matches what i think.... i one mth continuously download then can hit 50GB limit... if i use m1, like u said, probably i use for one year i also may not hit the limit... so in the end, the limit does it really matter? Or speed is more important? I think the ans is pretty obvious.....;);););)
