Using m1 fixed bd service. Lousy!!

Now cannot login to Facebook, ebay etc. can surf though. Try "borrow" neighbor wireless to login, can! So it is m1 problem.

Cannot also access www.ocbc.com.sg at all or even www.sgx.com.

Everybody should write to newspaper to complain about m1 services. Had enough already. I wrote to My Paper to complain, hope they publish.

ps. think SKYPE also not working.

My MSN cannot connect - deafault gateway offline :s27:

Finally get thru to them and now services is back to normal. Wat the hell man.:s12:

[magix]

Sign up the M1 Sunsurf 1mbps (50gb) plan after I last use M1 BB date 2006 Dec.

I can say speed wise still the same like 2 year ago. Last night (friday) again connect dead! Ping on www.m1.com.sg got time out. Can't be use for surfing during night and peak hours again!

Disappointed man. 2 year liao no improve at all during peak hours at the west part of Singapore where HQ is so damn near us!

Lets be clear, are you talking about mobile or fixed broadband?

[iceboy1183]

What time you face problem? I will surf there once in a while, next to the chicken rice makan area. Seems ok.

[iceboy1183]

i checked with my friends who are also using M1 MBB, they have the same problem leh.. everytime after 6pm, will experience a huge drop of speed... from 1.5mbps to like.. 300 kbps

maybe cos M1 6pm sharp turn off 1 of their server or something?

[Cissiboy]

i have to say recently at evening no more problem of slow surfing..all is good here in Pasir Ris..

might be bcoz recent CNY so less crowded..dunno

[iceboy1183]

not the case for me.. had to refresh 3 times before i could get on HWZ

am living in bedok ... zz
surely i cant be that suay?

[iceboy1183]

from what i experienced in my last 3 days of using


after 6pm sharp.. speed drop.. after 11:30pm onwards speed increase again.. zzz

dunno what to say

[joablee]

I stay at alexandra road opposite thye hong building, i dun have this problem every evening. Of cos once in a while i have problem but i will log out and then login again. Sometimes it just work but dunno why lah.
overall experience is GOOD.

[iceboy1183]

i bring to pasir ris and use just now evening.. good..
i rbing back bedok 10pm cannot open any $%$%$ing websites until now then FINALLY got on hwz.. knn

annoyed like hell

[iceboy1183]

5:43pm
http://www.speedtest.net/result/405465249.png

[iceboy1183]

ok maybe i've just learnt the hard way.. that this thing.. cannot BT and surf at the same time.. other than that.. it seems okay

when i was BTing.. cannot even open any websites

off BT.. reconnected to M1 MBB

am running at a really slow speed.. but at least can surf..
will probably be better after peak period..

9:01pm
http://www.speedtest.net/result/405545046.png

hi,

I am currently on 6 months M1 MBB 1 Mbps. Overall, I am ok as I only email, and surf a little while out of office. At home, I am on Singnet.
I am considering the DELL mini 9 promo :

M1 BB promo (http://m1.com.sg/M1/site/M1Corp/menuitem.e2f30a2a1a1860b609b422103f2000a0/?vgnextoid=46b10e841882d110VgnVCM100000695a230aRCRD)

Anyone took any of the plans ? feedback on using M1 MBB on this DELL mini 9? I am considering the 2 Mbps as I will enjoy a further 30% discount on monthly subscription for multiline

thanks

Is it a 2yrs contract with M1 in this promo?

If yes not worth signing

[shijia82]

thinking of getting a Fixed line BB. possible to give some comments?
pls quote my line so that i will know that its referring FBB.
thinking abt 10mbps and above.
thanks in advance for the comments.
;)

[joelchan]

yes. 2 yrs contract

not worth as in ? the value ?

I am currently ending a 6mths contract and the places I frequent are usually ok . Are you referring to the bad M1 MBB connection problem ? if so, like I said, I don't have those problem as I use fix BB when in office and home.

I only use the M1 MBB 2 -3 hrs per day.

Thanks for the advide.

I think what markBM was referring to is the price of $799... if you sign two years contract on the 2MBPS is only $321.. and still can save on the monthly subscription with your multi-line saver... quite gd deal in my opinion ;)

[joelchan]

i thought so too, that the deal mis pretty ok ....

I agree!! I am using 10Mbps and nowadays evening is good compare to the last time. Dunno wat they fixed but i guess new service is like that. They need time to fine tune and adjust so i am a happy customer.:s13:

hi..im currently signing the mobile broadband plan with 2mbps speed...if i want to change to fixed broadband with 10mbps speed...do i need to terminate the mbb first and change to fixed broadband or i just can change it directly?thx

[iceboy1183]

once and for all, the M1 MBB is NOT suitable for online gaming(well at least not for the 2mbps one),
and if you wanna BT while surfing net, only activate 1 download at a time..or put a limit on your download speed in your BT client

otherwise its impossible to surf net, cos BT eat all your download speed

my current speed with BT on

http://www.speedtest.net/result/412889267.png

and i called M1 wanting to change my 2mbps to the 4mpbs or something better.. but they said i have to terminate.. $#$#$@ that means 500+++ penalty fee.. i'll live with this for 1.5years

It's two different services... So you need to terminate your mobile broadband and sign the fixed broadband. But do remember to check if your mobile bband has any outstanding contract left :s7:

you will have to terminate your MBB 1st and then sign up FBB. but if you have a contract on MBB is not worth terminating.

I tried the Speedtest several times, the download speed is always below 2M and upload speed never reaches 350Kbs.

It's really a bad service provider and its ads are more like cheating us!

it will take 10 to 20 mins for it to reach optimum speed
dont ask me how or why, but thats what i've noticed for my case

no other complains for me besides better upload speed please M1

I used the ROUTER, not the USB one. Since I signed the 4Mbp/s plan, it means that I need to share it my other laptops. However, it even can not support a single one. Isn't it a piece of s h i t? Can the location limit the signal? The router always appears with GREEN light, which means strongest signal, so where is my 4M?

[shijia82]

cheese pie, i go sign up for M1 FBB liao than i wanted to terminate my starfug call up 1633 than in the end i found out my contracts end on 22/04/2009. i thought its 24 mth contract but than it became 28 mth contract due to the free compaq lappy i took.

Finally， M1 agreeed to terminate my contract. Planning to jump to Starhub. For my neighborhood, his 8M of Starhub can most time be reached; for me, 90% of the time, only hundreds KBs can be obtained of my 4M plan, around 1% of the time 1M reached. Really horrible.

just connect mobile bb to ur pc

install xamp on that pc

connect online, do a "ipconfig" see the WAN IP address you get and attempt to connect lor

if fails, den check ur firewall setting.. like should be ok one...

i get my remote desktop and pptp server up and running by default i think on windows server... but den using windows server OS give u advantage..

cause it will redial when the connection is broken kind of things.. :s13:

[boluilang]

Can meh? M1 mobile broadband can do webserver ah.

wat if I run xampp with a dynamic domain ? from dyndns.? I think shd be able to updaste also , right ?

How does the M1's speed compare to the SH speed? I'm trying to decide between M1 100mbit and Starhub 100mbit, but I'm not sure how reliable M1 is.

bo try webserver, but i try pptp and remote desktop is working :s34:

serve my purpose can liao but sad to say...... mine is tie to my m1 line and i'm leaving m1 for good i guess..

need to compare pro/con first... cause i have one existing starhub line which is idle (i hoot my hp at discount price)

called m1, they bo give me good discount leh.. say 1 time $50 off from my bill nia if i recontract.. si bei weak

Not sure about FBB but mobile broadband has improved drastically... And it's a steal at $59 for the 100Mbps M1 FBB... :s13:

[glassdarkly]

Yeah, I have their mobile broadband, the speed is pretty decent, but I've seen quite a few people complaining about their FBB, so I'm a bit worried =x.

It's a steal IF it's 100mbps as advertised :p. If it turns out to be half the speed like people are complaining it'd be cheaper for me to get the $88 Starhub plan >_>.

But shud be quite alright ba... Guess they have ironed out their kinks liao jux like mobile broadband.... Initially when launch sure alot hiccups..

Good responsible M1, willing to terminate contract w/o penalties, for failure to meet expectations.
I had an good experience from ST, who was kind enuff to void my wrong online submission of contract application.

I hear the opposite abt SH, who hangs customer & give excuses to the end, no matter how bad/null their service/connectivity was.

so can only do it while im sleeping, and not say the speeds very fast either -.- 1gb file take maybe 2 weeks?

[iceboy1183]

also noticed my speed dropped considerably as compared to last month when everything was above 600kb range...

DL speed right now 365 kb/s with bt off

as compared to last time when speeds were 600kb/s with my bt on

[badab9]

Hi guys, Just signed up for M1 wireless bb in IT show. Regretted as speed sucks. Really cannot make it. Watching grass grows is faster. Want to cancel but they say must pay $321 (modem) plus $214 (plan) early termination. sian. How? regretted!! Should have signed up singtel wireless bb. I've tried my friend's singtel wireless bb, compared to my m1, it's like heaven and hell. So, before you signed the 24 month contract, think hard, really hard...

[galant22]

tell me about it .... i wrote the below strong worded letter to them last nite :

=================
I've recently upgraded to the 7.2Mbps Mobile Broadband Plan from my previous plan which was the 6mths 2Mbps Plan. I also had a change of the modem too.

When I go online now, it seemed to be very slow and does not match up to my expectations at all. I've also done a Speed-Test at http://www.speedtest.net/ and the results I've got were more like speeds for a 1Mbps connection!

I've decided to upgrade to 7.2Mbps due to my good experience with the old plan and speed expectation. Never had I expected to experience a huge drop in the speed upon upgrading to a higher speed! THIS IS MOST UNACCEPTABLE.

Please do get back to me with some solutions or I shall proceed to terminate this contract without any intention to pay any termination charges on grounds of M1 not being able to meet its service obligations.

Thanks.
=================

7.2mpbs at cck at 1am....

Wah this speed for 7.2 at 1am is not acceptable

[czheyuan]

As you are under a contract, chance of termination of contract could be quite slim... Maybe you can suggest to them to allow downgrade of plan to 1Mbps since you could enjoy better speed and connection at that speed before your upgrade.. Probably the network in your area is congested so you can only achieve around 1mbps...

For myself, I'm on M1 1mbps 50% promo ($7+/mth)... Quite happy with the speed as it had always stayed around the 1mbps range..

All telcos provide mobile broadband for ppl with handphones but bundled usage varies.. Currently ST offers the least amount of data..

M1 mobile broadband service for users on handphones is called SunSurf Mobile..

Refer to http://m1.com.sg/M1/site/M1Corp/menuitem.e2f30a2a1a1860b609b422103f2000a0/?vgnextoid=689ae64abc8e9110VgnVCM100000695a230aRCRD&sunsurf=04 for the plans details =)

[crapp0]

Is it worth it to get the 4MB line since i heard from a colleague that the 4MB line is worthless for M1 and its better to either get 2mb line or 7.2 mb line.

Coz i can get an addiotional 30% off together with the current promo price where i only pay 25 dollars for the 4mb line.

Yup it is not very worth it cuz regardless of operator, these high speeds are not achievable most of the time. So a suggestion is to sign a maximum of 2mbps which is more practical. 7.2mbps is definitely not advisable =)

Hi guys, lost 2 of my Huawei E220 cables.....the short one and the one at right angle. I still have the one with the double USB connection for extra power.

Wanted to return the unit to M1 and they wanted like a $40 replacement fee for the cables. Was wondering if there's any shop which will sell these same cables cos I think $40 is punitive. Tks for helping.

damages are naturally punitive in nature.
20 per cable is the price they charge for loss of rented (albeit rental absorbed on the bill display) items so rolling with the punches is recommended.

the right-angled plug, never seen it out at SLS - never had to find one like that.
the short plug, available at SLS for a few dollars. Look for one that looks similar perhaps.

If it's still under warranty, send it in for warranty claim immediately!

My only grouse with M1BB is that their DNS lookup is damn slow... and because I run my own DNS server for development purposes, I see a long queue of UDP53 in my router... sometimes causes DNS lookup failure etc. Damn annoying.

It might also be a problem with the router I'm using... seems to work better after a reboot... still monitoring. But still somewhat attributable to M1's DNS server response I believe...

u are at BB? good luck to u... i had been using both starhub and singtel mobile bb there before.. both CMI there.... even network signal there are not good at all... always below 90% strength... mostly 7x-8x% only....

speed is super pathetic.... need to reconnect and connect tons of time in order to use... becos once connected, can surf few minutes, after that no traffic flows at all.. must discon and recon again.. u can repeat the same old steps tons of time per day....

called up to complain tons of time also no use.. managed to get 2-3 times waiver for singtel at that time....

i heard that part of the reason is mindef etc are around that area.... so the telco signal cannot be too strong, else will cause interference or something...

maybe this is the reason why the mobile bb speed is so terrible at bb....

Yup their engineers really do testing on the ground de... So it'll take at least about a wk for them to get back to you. My friend waited patiently for them to get back about 5 days later.

Hmm probably your hse area has too many M1 mobile broadband users so it gets chocked often.

My situation is slightly similar to yours.. Tried for 3 months in 2008 damn slow then cancelled contract... Heard comments from various friends using it praising then sign up the 50% promo at IT Show... Never regretted signing up.. But ironically one of these friends also stay at BB not facing any issue with M1 1mbps..

Oh well you still can use M1's mobile... It's excellent and saves me a lot of money.. Lol :s13:

those who signed up the $11++ plan for 24 mths contract with free modem.... can i check with you that the mobile bb modem is not sim locked to M1 only??????:s11::s11::s11::s11::s11::s11:

Hi all,

I am looking for m1 broadband users (unlimited bandwidth plans only) >6mnths to rent M1 routers for 1 day use. (event)

router rental is apparently $10++ from m1's website.

I will pay rental + small fee for your troubles.

pm me.

[YorYor]

I've got a DIR-825 that can be used with any of the Huawei USB modems. If you need, can rent you both the router and the modem. Give me your price! :)

[goenitz33]

anyone on Multi Saver's discount plan and taking 2 yrs of Mobile Broadband Plan?

the CSO told me that the discount stacks is it true?

[YorYor]

Yes it does. Assuming you add 1Mbps M1BB to make it a total of 3 lines, the 1Mbps M1BB would be only $8.40 after 50% discount.

[Innocast]

Yes it does. Assuming you add 1Mbps M1BB to make it a total of 3 lines, the 1Mbps M1BB would be only $8.40 after 50% discount.

if i have one existing m1 mobile line, and i subscribe the m1 mobile bb will i have any discount on the mobile bb and my this existing line?:s11::s11::s11::s11::s11:

[YorYor]

Multi-line saver is only applicable for a minimum of 3 lines.

[czheyuan]

Yup you need a minimum of 3 lines and the discount structure is as follows:

3 lines: 25% discount
4 lines: 30% discount
>=5 lines: 35%

[goenitz33]

Multi-line saver is only applicable for a minimum of 3 lines.

yah i have 4 lines le this will be my 5th line :P

so for my lines it will be 35%

then mobile bb of 2mbps for 2 yrs will be 30%+35% or 65% depending on how they calculate discount

[YorYor]

It's compounded. So it's 0.7*0.65 = 0.455. So you'll pay 45.5% of the listed price.

[tuntun]

Anyone know where can I download vodafone mobile connect lite ver3.3.9.1126? or if anyone has it, pls help me for ftp download?
thanks

When you have 10second ping replies... nothing can be done. DNS lookups would time out, and SSH connections are virtually useless.

Hope M1 upgrade their servers soon too. Now it seems the communications network is actually performing relatively well, but the servers are affecting the overall experience.
Took me 30 seconds to resolve mediafire, then another 30 seconds to complete loading of the site before I could download from mediafire today... but the download was fairly consistent in bursting 100KB every 2 seconds (was monitoring the interface every 0.5seconds).
And everytime after a while, it takes like 7 or 8 pings to the DNS servers before I get a reply.

[czheyuan]

Yeah lo it's quite interesting that sometimes when loading pages will be slightly slow but yet the downloading of files is still bursting at 110kb/s.. Is this some technological issue?

M1 is keeping themselves busy upgrading their mobile network to accomodate 21Mbps and to build the backhaul infrastructure to save $20million payable to ST every yr.. According to their projected schedule, should be complete by yr end lo..

[crapp0]

Me too, i get the same exp where surfing websites isnt very smooth and there are frequent DC's from websites.

But when it involves downloading, its pretty much solid to ok.

Nope they are almost complete in building their backhaul transmission network, which is basically the underground cables currently owned by ST. So M1 will now have their own underground cables which will be completed by dis yr end lo.. They are almost entirely on their own liao for data and voice transmission...

I was an early adopter for M1 Broadband when it first came out, with an initial subscription plan for 3.6Mbps bandwidth service.

Everything was great back then. Now it has dropped to 2Mbps in relativity to the price plan that I have paid for all the while - best yet, the connectivity is flaky and terrible. Even in Suntec when I need to hook up for that emergency meeting, it sure sucked so bad that I had to resort to Wireless@SG.

Now I am not too sure if I would want to stay with M1 after utilizing their services for 3 years now.

Hmm mobile BB has a much higher latency compared to fixed BB.. So it is not really advisable to use mobile BB for intense gaming..

I've tried twice playing on Playstation network using M1 mobile BB and somehow it could work smoothly.. However, not sure if it can be sustained all the time..

An advice would be that for any sign up of mobile BB, 1-2 Mbps would be sufficient liao, even for gaming. Cuz gaming relies more on low latency.. And latency is about the same whether it's 1Mbps or 7.2Mbps lo..

Not very good for gaming. I am using it on Playstation and network rating for SF4 is 0. I can play online, but the experience is laggy.

if i use it to play dota or left4dead will it be lag??

ANY one tried using mobile bb and play these games?

I am currently using SH Maxonline Express, monthly paid $59.92 subscription. Hear that M1 Broadband is not bad. Does it has a shorter contract instead of 2 years contract and how much will that be per month?

Hmm I'm using M1 1mbps Mobile BB in the east and some other friends also using it in places such as Bukit Panjang, Bukit Batok, Eunos and comments were positive..

AMK I'm not too sure.. One thing's confirmed is that M1 mobile BB has really improved a lot compared to last year.. Now PC Show at 50% off at $11.21 only.. Cheap! =)

I'm using M1 1mbps bbom vas for abt a month. Using my hp as a modem connected to my lappy. My connection is TERRIBLE. I have never got a HSPDA 3.5G signal ever since i apply for this bbom. Loading page abit slow, sometimes can't even load. It's like 56k more then 1mbps. Initially i thought maybe this plan is cheap, so don't expect much of it. Till 1 day, i tried with my friend's singtel 1mbps bbom vas, using my hp as a modem. Surprisingly, i got a HSPDA 3.5G signal & surfing net was relatively faster compared to my current m1. Feel puzzled, same specs but different performance, i call up m1 to check, after transfering me here & there, they gave me a very dissppointing answer. They said they will investigate, which they have not get back to me yet. Lucky i didn't sign 2 year for the bbom. So i'm not sure do i want to switching over to singtel, as i'm with m1 for so many years. Do any bros encounter same connection problem as me? Do give me some feedback & suggestion. Thanks.
