M1 boardband User Thread

[czheyuan]

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.

Hmm I highly suspect it could be due to location or some technical issue as I do have several friends using M1 1Mbps mobile BB and all have said it's stable and good. That is why you don't really hear people complaining of M1 mobile BB nowadays even though M1 has about same number of mobile BB subscribers as ST.

ST is definitely a no-no for mobile BB as you can see from the various threads here on how lousy it is..

Probably you can try your M1 mobile VAS at other locations, especially town.. See if problem still persists.. If it does, most prob is your sim card or some other technical issues liao..

Just wondering if I sign up for FBB 100Mbps and MBB 2Mbps, can I get further multi-line discount as I also have M1 mobile. :s11: Any idea can also terminate my Starhub Premium at the adjacent booth. :s22: So that I can save one trip to their service centre, hehe.

Forgot to ask: For Mobile BB is it get the dongle there and straightaway can surf liao, no need to wait. Must make sure before terminate SH because M1 FBB will take couple of days to activate and cancelling SH is one day only. Must time properly or else no internet can die one, you know.

M1 FBB is not considered a mobile line lo so can't enjoy multi-line discount... BUT your MBB 2Mbps IS part of multi-line discount.. So in this case including your M1 mobile you have 2 lines.. Can consider getting another M1 mobile or MBB line lo to start enjoying 25% discount.. Or bundle with friends or family using M1 under one NRIC =)

Yup for M1 mobile BB when you sign up go home can use liao the dongle.. I signed up in March at IT Show go home straightaway could use even though M1 says will take 1 working day to activate..

it quite diff from my case. ever since the pc show kicks in. my loan from classmate device start to slow breakdown. i am at east and is not able to get decent surfing speed since friday till today.
surfing timing ranging from 8am and 11pm. from what i observe is like <10KB/s speed.

not too sure whether cheap = good.

anyone in the east can review or anyone experience slow in spd as well?

Hmm i'm staying in the east near marine parade... speed is not bad leh even during peak hours.. There was 2 wks recently when speed slowed down cuz m1 doing upgrading of network.. Maybe now at your side lo..

[SGXnewbie]

if so... then make sense.. now due to work... i am at the west side... speed wise is better.
Initally thought cos be due to m1 network too heavy due to pc show.

Just got my Huawei USB modem aka Vodafone Mobile connect modem from M1. Wah quite a handful of people sign up and try the service.

http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/7384/m1usbrl0.jpg

Sign up 1.8M connection and i think is better then the 3G speed. But still not good for gaming.

Nice, is the SIM card also free?

Yup sim card + registration was free too over the weekend... Not sure if it is still free now..

My M1 mobile boardband 1mbps plan is quite good. just got it yesterday for $11.21 per month. Its able to provide the advertised speed 24/7 from yesterday till today.

http://www.speedtest.net/result/496152068.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

Its very stable, used for hours with no disconnection or drop in signals. The speed is always 1mbps/512kbps for most of the time, only drop slightly during peak like shown above. Latency is always less than 100ms. Its so much better than starhub mobile boardband. I test my bro's starhub mobile boardband, latency more than 200ms. 2mbps can only get near that speed during offpeak. less than 1mbps during peak. Upload is only around 260kbps. No fight for M1 mobile boardband, its damn good even though its damn cheap.

Walao oi, shiok man. I used my M1 2 Mbps MBB to watch youtube clip, smooth as silk, no stopping for buffering. First time in 2 years youtube got no interruption. :s12: Same clip (2.09 min) using SH 12 Mbps FBB, it stop 58 times for buffering, :(. Really cannot make it man. I think no need to wait for my FBB to activate, can go and cancel SH tomorrow liao.

Don't know how reliable is speedtest. Run my MBB 3 times reading 1.53, 0.27, 0.26 only whereas SH test was 17.68, 15.57 and 16.60. But the above youtube test is completely opposite result. 2 Mbps smooth, 12 Mbps kns.

Just saw a pop-up vodafone connect message saying ' the volume limit for 3G has been reached. The current total is 97329KB.' What is this, just ignore, right?

Btw do we need to send the warranty card for the usb modem?

Can't wait for my 100 Mbps FBB to get activated............................

For this volume limit, just go to Settings -> Usage -> Limits.. Choose time limit and enter a super large number like 500 can liao.. Lols.. So basically means if you reaching 500hrs within this month they'll warn you lo.. Useful only if there's time or data limit, but since for M1 it's unlimited usage, it isn't really useful.. Lols :s13:

Nope warranty card just keep can liao.. No need send de.. =)

[MADABOUTYOU]

Ya, czheyuan thanks, I already figure out the settings thing. The default was 100 Mb and the connection stops once it reach this figure. 2nd day only and already enjoying the M1 experience. Hopefully they can maintain the standard even with additional customers signing up.

[crapp0]

Anybody have slow connections during peak hour at braddell area?

Coz i using m1 4mb plan and damn its slow, want 2 watch youtube video also have 2 wait buffer and the speedtest say my connection around 512k.

If i complain 2 m1, do you think they can resolve the prob since my signal strenght is quite good at 4 bars.

Previously i was staying at yishun, eventhough the signal str wasnt that good, at least i had a somewhat stable connection, but at bradell everything just went downhill.

Yup it's possible... Cuz both internet access run individually... It's recognised by the MAC ID of your individual cable modem rather than cable point...

I second that ... just jump ship from Singtel and really not much regrets so far. Just that at times, in CBD area I get disconnected.

Singtel have a very stable connection, but there are so many pockets of time that my speed is at zero.

Cheap? Singtel offered me the same price when I called to cancel.

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! =)

Is that a 2 year contract?
Went to m1 site , the rates are showing $15+

Yup M1 mobile BB contracts all at 2 yr contracts for the free USB stick..

The 50% off at $11.21 was during PC Show... Now is 30% lo at $15.69.. Still can qualify for up to 35% additional multi-line saver discount though... That's why I'm paying only $7+/mth now.. Lols :s13:

I don't have a problem with the cap as my usage is far below that, just troubled with the connection I'm getting in CBD. The CS tells me to move to another location.

Too bad ... singtel lost a small customer.

Nope the M1 cabling has not been completed yet.. It's scheduled to end by this yr lo..

Tt time when M1 was upgrading my side, I had slow connections and occasional dc for abt 2-3 wks.. After tt superb speed liao... But if your side consistently like tt, maybe you gt area specific issues... I suggest you email M1 instead of call.. Emailing allows M1 a few days grace to check up more thoroughly on the issue and seek the relevant people for help before getting back to you lo.. That's what I usually do to get a more appropriate and preferable reply..

Yes they are generally good outside. Just my office inside the upper floor of a building it is bad, complained to Singtel CS they asked me to move to the window. Really, I don't need to call someone to hear that.

I spend $18 on the pre-paid to try out M1 on the coverage, before I committed and really I have no problems in my office, home in Buangkok and a few of the places I frequent.

Yup it's normal to get such speeds during peak. Most importantly is whether you still can surf webpages or not lo.. For video may sometimes lag abit during peak hrs for sure de. At least can load webpages smoothly n quickly will be ideal =)

That's why recommended to sign no more than 2Mbps for mobile BB lo..

[YorYor]

Be sure you know very well what that decision will mean.
M1BB is better than before, but not quite there in terms of reliability, and very importantly, latency.
It's really useful when you need internet on the go, or like in my case, use it in lieu of the ridiculously priced business broadband plans (which is why I'm not too bothered by the performance during the night peak hours).
But if it's for home use, you're really better off taking a low end plan if you just want to save some money.
Go rent a Hubstation if you have Starhub TV - it's only $8 and you get 1Mbps, and you get the added benefits of using the Hubstation.

The customer service at SH doesnt help me anyway, at times, when I load a website, the website dont even load at all after a few minutes..

Yup M1 FBB is much more cheaper than SH.. Whether to get 30Mbps or 100Mbps depends on your needs and budget lo..

M1 and SH goes thru the same cable infrastructure but traffic still routes thru their own servers..

I mean in that case, I should expect the same quality of speed from M1 compare to SH, but of cos I dont mean the same quality of service as M1 is new in the industry...

I mean in that case, I should expect the same quality of speed from M1 compare to SH, but of cos I dont mean the same quality of service as M1 is new in the industry...

Yup the quality should be at least on par lo... Though M1 relatively new to FBB (only almost 1 yr), but their mobile BB already existent for a few yrs liao... M1 CEO did say that having this FBB is to prepare their staff and servers ready for the fibre optic network.. So should be able to maintain a certain level of standard..

Can refer to the M1 Fixed Line Broadband to see the users comments on M1 FBB lo..

I am starting to plan nw what to get when my contract ends, i hope get feedbacks on m1 fixed broadband. :yawn:

[eddief4]

How is their FBB in the toa payoh area? Any bros from toa payoh tried it yet?

Also, since it uses starhub's model, does that mean if you have starhub cable access point and the like, you won't need to install M1's cable point? Noob here so appreciate the help :D

[leaving_footsteps]

Don't need to install another cable point. There is a fixed broadband thread http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showthread.php?t=2324116

anyone here staying around yishun central ?
How was your M1 bbom performance ?
Recently spotted a plan called broadband V 2mbps
free incoming calls and unlimited data bundles for $27.10 only.

Singtel bbom 2mbps priced around $22, plus you need a voice plan and total will add up about 40-50 bucks, not worth the money imo.

[hsm1user]

i live at yishun ave 5, near yishun mrt =)

[hsm1user]

as i had mentioned, the first few days when i use the service, i hardly can surf, ping go as high as 700+, speed as low as 300kbps. Since the june holiday onwards, m1 mobile bb improved, i m sure many can see the difference, nw i can get as low as 70+ ping, speed up 2.23 mbps from a v 2mbps plan, the speed is almost the same the wholeday round, how i noe cause i surf net very often, and i upload videos to youtube everyday. at most the speed around peak hour goes untill 1.34mbps+ which is acceptable, i might continue to stay in m1 when my contract ends cause they shown alot improvement, hope this helps you =) feel free to ask any questions

But do take note Singtel BBOM comes with 50GB limit..

Yup the M1 broadband V 2mbps does come with the free incoming calls and outgoing calls at $0.08/min.. But this plan does not come with USB stick, only with the 3G Huawei Router.. So can plug any home phone inside lo..

Might as well go sign up for a 6 mth short term contract, cheaper and more steady

M1 fixed BB prices very competitive at $40 for 10Mbps... So can consider lo... or you can try out their 6 months fixed BB contract see if it works for you lo.. Can always switch if it doesn't perform up to your expectations since contract so short nia.. Lols..

glad i found this thread. i have been looking around but cant find answers but i am sure pple here must have experiment with some of the combinations.

i've recently subscribe to the mobile phone data plan with M1, the cheapest $5 /month. the max charge is $36.38 if over shoot my data limit.

i am have 2 sim cards and 2 phones so 1 for phone and another for internet connection. as the data plan on phone is 7.2mbps [but i'm not sure of the upload speed], i wonder if i can get a vodaphone stick say the k3715 and use this sim card [a phone sim card] and surf the net on my macbook?

i know the k3715 alone sells pretty high at $325 and it's free if u subscribe to the higher mbb plans. i am looking around for 2nd hand or maybe a third party modem stick which supports up to 7.2mbps.

i called m1 an they say i cant use the phone sim card with data plan on the modem stick, i think it's not true but like to clarify if i will only be charged $36.38 max, and extra $5 i think for a 2nd sim card, it's still cheaper than the 7,2mbps mbb subscription.

anyone can help?

You should be able to use the sim card with data plan on the modem stick, since for mobile BB sim card, calling functions are also available..

This way of subscribing to the 7.2Mbps plan may not be cheaper as you can get 50% off the 7.2Mbps mobile BB plan at IT Shows (becomes $34+) + there's multi-line saver discount for that too.. With free K3715Z modem..

[YorYor]

It'd do you some good to read at least 10-20 pages back. One of the most repeated point is, there is no point. No point in getting 7.2Mbps when 2Mbps is the best value for money with the current setup. Remember the golden rule - it's always easier to upgrade than to downgrade.

Numbers look nice but I think $ in the pocket looks nicer. Add in real world performance and you'll be even more glad that you didn't go for 7.2Mbps, however nice the number may sound. Because you'd be hard pressed to even get 1 min of that speed. In an entire year.

Go sign up for the 2Mbps plan and get the device free if you take a 2 year contract. If you can wait, wait for the next whatever Show and cross your fingers they'd do the 50% promo again.

On the other hand, if you eat abalone for breakfast, then please go ahead and contribute to M1 the capital they need to further improve their servers and network equipment.

I just got the 4mbps M1 BB last week, was given K3715.

The speed test from speedtest. net shows the downloading speed is between 3.7 to 4.1mbps, but I notice when I'm downloading, I couldn't surf web at the sametime (cannot be conected error) and if I pause the downloading, plus refresh the web, the web will display properly.

Tested on 2 notebooks with same result but no issue if using 1mbps M1 BB, does anyone have experience the same?

[YorYor]

It's usually down the DNS...
Sometimes, it takes a few 3-5 seconds pauses + refreshing before the DNS server replies.
Which is very annoying sometimes.
If the DNS server is working/responding fine, then you'll find that you can download and surf at the same time without problems.

Hi ppl,

I am wondering if M1 boardband will be a better choice over singnet boardband. Need some advice or ur personal experience with M1 BB and ur previous BB provider.

I had been a singnet 10Mbps for the past 3yrs, this few months having serious laggy issue while trying to connect to simple webbie eg: facebook(FB), hardwarezone or even yahoo news. I am running 2 lappies on the same time, both serving facebook.

Wonder if there is some problems with singnet.
Is there any better recommendation for switching of boardband provider. I had been a Starhub user before singnet.

[sg_lala]

Have get quite postive feedback on M1 Fix BB service in this forums. So far quite a lot people switch from Starhub cable to M1 cable Fix BB services.

As for mobile i tink all provide has room to improve bah

I am currently using the 4MB MOBB and i have called their technical support twice and e-mailed them though their websites twice and they said that they are currently looking into my matter which is slow download speed eventhough my signal bar strength is usually around 3-4 bars so i know its their network in my particular area which is affected. After twice calling and e-mailing them, they promised me that they would at least call me back to update me but that been nearly a month now.

Coz i've tried it in my office and i can get full speeds or at least 2MB, at home i get around 512kbps.

Whats the next step that i should do?

[YorYor]

Keep complaining and ask for waiver of fees or give you a no-penalty downgrade, if your main usage is at home. Nothing else you can do about it until M1 completes its supposed upgrade(s).

[crapp0]

My main usage is usually at home after i get back from work.

Damn depressing i want 2 go youtube, check my facebook or e-mail very often the line not stable. Gotta refresh multiple times then ok.

[YorYor]

Either keep your fingers crossed and hope they'll improve, or do what I suggested and try to get downgraded so that you won't be wasting too much money.
2Mbps is probably the highest you should subscribe, at the moment.
Take the difference to subscribe some landed broadband instead.

Eventually, the mobile network will be good enough to support consistent and reliable connections, except for latency. But how soon/long remains an unknown.

[towtan]

Didn't you know that the submarine cable was cutoff a few days ago due to typhoon in Taiwan ? All overseas traffic is impacted and I don't think they have fully restored the service yet.

Only recently did i know the news. But the again the slow speeds that i encounter has been haunting me since June.

Plus it affects the area which i stay near braddell mrt station.

I oledi contacted them today and they told me that my area is under investigation and hopefully will be upggraded to a bigger bandwidth capacity, unfortunately, the m1 support person said that it could be anywhere from 3-6months depending on their network upgrading plan.

She mentioned that they upgraded the ang mo kio area, i have a few colleagues staying at that area and they told me that they have seen improved speeds as well as connectivity in that area for the past 2 months.

[YorYor]

So, have to wait lor. Press them for details on when your area would be upgraded so that at least you have something to look forward to.

I am using M1 Mobile BB service. I am on the 1M service. using it in town at river valley area. I find it slow. very laggy even when I just go to normal webistes no downloading....

And I ha may problem getting connections. somtime tell me PPP connection cannot setup. only after many tries I get authenticated.....

[Apparatus]

OK, post here since got no reply from the other thread

Anyone having problem downloading a file of 100MB or more from RS and hotfile? It always says "Server time out" or something like that? For small file sizes it's ok. This happens quite sometimes back. It happens with or without using a download manager.

Previously I do not have such a problem in downloading large file sizes from the mentioned sites. Is M1 blocking downloading of large file size?

I'm using the 1Mbps plan. If indeed M1 is controlling large file size download then there's no point to subscribe to the 7.2Mbps plan

[czheyuan]

Nope M1 doesn't seem to be blocking such large files. I have downloaded files more than 100MB, including torrent, but no problem.. Did not download from those sites you mentioned though..

[one-third]

i'm thinking of subscribing to broadband on mobile.

i live in west,so i don't know which one to subscribe.

m1 bbom price plans looks attractive and i'm considering to take 1mbps plan on a 2 year contract.

however,i'm afraid that the speed are not consistent and sluggish.

anyone who use bbom here can recommend me the cheapest and reliable one?

thanks.

[YorYor]

Think it'd be better to state your neighbourhood and hope there are current users around to give you some feedback. It's not as if M1 has only 5 base stations, one for each cardinals and one for central.

[mccmmm]

Guys wait for the coming pc show there's promotion

[Apparatus]

OK, it's confirmed that M1 is blocking the download of large file size (say 100MB or more) from sites such as RS and hotfile because I do not have probelm downloading a file of size 18MB from RS. Also, I faced no problem when downloading a 100MB file size from another site.

Anybody like to share his finding? I wonder whether to subscribe the 7.2 Mbps MBB now?

:s8:

[jeffreywyt]

How many I will post before I post a link to one off member that need link? thanks in helping.

[Apparatus]

Hi!

Finally, I found the solution to the problem "Connection to the server was reset" resulting in the inabilityto download large files size of even 50MB or more from RS and hotfile sites. It's NOT M1 problem lah.

For Windows XP:

Click on Start
Click on Run
Type in cmd
Click on OK
Type in netsh winsock reset
(Please note there are spaces between the netsh and winsock and reset)

Press ENTER
Restart your computer

After performing the above I've downloaded a 400MB file from hotfile and a 200MB file from RS without problem. So now can subscribe to M1's 7.2Mbps MBB liao :D

i've just subscribed to M1 mobile BB, and so far set the modem to only detect 3G network....cos it will auto detect GPRS as it has the strongest signal...but too slow to surf....and kinda slow to detect 3G network, signal quality quite low (in my house). yet to test outdoors further.

House structure does affect the signal strength.. So maybe you can move the modem about to see which area has a stronger reception... But however, 1-2 bars of 3G signal can also achieve max speed liao.. signal strength not equivalent to speed..

So as long as it's connected on 3G network, will be good liao..

very pleased with my m1 mb. living in jurong west. 1mpbs, got a max out bandwidth. not bad i would say.

[mun_hoe]

i've tested the M1 MBB at my office, signal strength was excellent, speed is not consistent and there's sudden lag spikes and timeouts....so after 24hrs, i've decided to cancel my M1 MBB service. hopped onto ST BBOM 2000 service at 50% off for 24mths.....only managed to test it at home, signal strength was not excellent, but i could get consistent fast speed with no timeouts.....

[mun_hoe]

tested Singtel BBOM for 24hrs, home signal strength less than 40%, office near excellent strength. didn't experience lags when surfing facebook, hwz forums. no timeouts and errors. :D

[YorYor]

M1BB is now at least 80% of the reliability of BBoM when I last used it.
BBoM's reputation has dipped slightly, though I still believe a product doesn't turn bad overnight.
One thing's for sure, M1BB has done well to recover some of its reputation, and I hope they continue to do so.
Best thing they can do next? Give everyone a 50% speed boost. Hahaha...

[YorYor]

It's more of a location issue... try bring your BBoM to some areas known for poor SingTel coverage and you'd experience the same thing.
Just like how some old estates have bad performance with ADSL due to ageing tel lines.

if you've read my feedback in previous posting, even though in my office, full signal strength, M1BB also gets disconnections and slow loadings whereas it's smooth sailing on ST BBOM.....no doubt i agree it's location based, but can't be different locations also give same results rite?

Oh well... Now rarely there's someone complaining about M1 mobile BB other than can't concurrently surf smoothly while on heavy BT.. I even tried surfing on M1 1Mbps mobile BB with only one bar signal in office and it works perfectly fine and fast..

So probably you are unlucky?

on some occasions i was able to hit this numbers on M1, but then once i load up facebook, hwz forums with some picture intensive threads :o the loading can be quite erratic and bad with timeouts, only few attempts to refresh it was able to load all images successfully and it's not without some patience. i've never encountered this problem with ST BBOM. :)

Hmm I think this issue you facing would most probably be the multiple windows issue.. If there are few windows opened and loaded concurrently, there may be loading problem... But if you only surf 1-2 window at a time, the speed is superb..

well.....maybe, but it's my habit of opening 5-9 tabs. but all's good when i'm with singtel bbom :)

[YorYor]

That I do agree, M1BB does have problems when there is too much activity.
And the problem always seems to be hanging on one of the many image proxies which M1 puts in place. Think those proxy servers aren't good enough - want to save on bandwidth by deploying proxies, then better put good servers there.
So in the end, sometimes I simply tunnel everything through a SSH proxy.

I stay in Jurong West, 1 block away from Pioneer MRT and have been using 2Mbps plan for 7 months. Does anyone notice dramatic slowness around 5PM to 11PM? I think it's been like this for last few months. I'm not a BT guy and also not a download geek, i just simply using it for browsing! Even loading 1 single site could take forever around that time :s22:

Suprisingly, it performs very well in the morning all the way till 5PM.. sigh :s11:

I just feel it that way. Not my expectation. Is M1 advertised it is a 7.2 mbps plan
So ppl buy its because wanna get the speed right. you wouldnt buy a 7.2 mbps plan knowing that it cant hit the max, because liangtam said 3Mbps orly welly gootch riao

It's a technological issue rather than telco issue. If everything is perfect such as good weather and no obstruction, yup can reach 7.2Mbps... But in life, not everything is perfect lo.. lols..

I think Mifi plans don't have 2Mbps. :(

Yup, so the best you can go is 4Mbps... Which is at least "easier" to achieve than 7.2Mbps speed..

Yar, all along if you see forum post you know get the lowest speed plan can liao mah.

7.2Mbps is the max PHY rate.
You have to consider overhead and transmission losses.

This means minus to your throughput rate, even if there are 0 user less you at the point of time. If you factor in the misc, 7.2Mbps is definitely used.

But of course, the above is still a best-case scenario. In a way, they're not lying to you that you can get the above rate, provided the conditions are met, which in practice can be hardly achieve without any luck

Ever wonder how Fast ethernet and wireless n claims 100Mbps and 300Mbps respectively, why in use, does not provide you at that rate? Same goes.

I am staying in braddell area which is very old indeed and the speeds i get are pathetic, even after numerous calls and e-mail.

I still havent gotten a satisfied response from them on my speed woes.

Usually my speedtest speeds are around 700-900kbps eventhough i am on a 4MB line plus worse still is the fact that if i try to download some video streaming files, M1 seems to throttle my download since it starts pretty fast but then drops to the point of 0 kbps.

But if i were to restart my video download program aka miro, i get back full speed but then again it drops off.

Voice plans? as in those mobile plans like Sunsaver? Yup quality is good lo.. Most cost savings too =:p

No no, the Mobile Broadband V plans... where you get make voicecalls as well.
I believe it's VoIP... wonder what's the quality like.

Anyway, anyone felt sluggishness when surfing the web today? It was fine in the morning, then in the afternoon after a bit of slowdown, surfing webpage became ultra slow. Every visit to a page would lead to at least 5-10 seconds of "Waiting for <site>..." before the page loaded.
In the end had to do SSH tunnel to get proper page loads.

Question:

I'm a little confused.

I see that most of you suscribe to the M1 Mobile Broadband.

Is this speed faster then the SunSurf VAS (value Added Service, together with voice plan) ?

SunSurf VAS can get up to 7.2 Mbps.... capped at $36.xx per month
at $16++ with no contract for 1 gb

2nd Question:

Possible to buy any of those USB sticks like vodafone's or huawei's off the shelf, and plug in a M1 mobile sim card with SunSurf VAS activated, and use directly?

M1 mobile BB has several speed such as 1mbps, 2mbps etc... Depends on what plans you subscribe to and all have unlimited usage..

Sunsurf is a standard 7.2mbps downlink speed but not unlimited usage... But has price cap of $36. Btw, there's promo for 1GB at $9.95 for 2 yrs contract..

Yup you can buy those USB sticks and put in the M1 mobile sim with Sunsurf VAS.. But not worth it mah... Cheaper to get the mobile BB plans with free USB modems..

[Tsting]

........

Thanks for the info.

I'm just thinking that because I do not need to use laptop that much whilst outside
Just using the handphone mainly

.... but when I do use a laptop to access the internet... speed is preferred.. hehe.
Can sign up for the multi-sim option from M1.

Could I just trouble anyone to point me to any link or location I can purchase such a USB stick? Outside of the M1shop.
The vodafone stick costs like $328
Just need a rough price indication.


If really cost too much might just use the phone as modem le

Thanks !

[YorYor]

Typical prices are around $70 - 100 depending on the age of the stick.
Why not just use a data cable to your phone? Rather than have to power off and lose mobile connectivity.

Right is M1 fault,all signal or network were receive full service if you are in an open space or at high rise building.Those have slow speed or DL problems with huge file mainly stay at low rise or their surrounding have many higher building as blockage.
You can try go to the highest level and test it by downloading a 100mb file.

The speed of 1 mbps is not very good for upload file.

Try this

1) In IE go to TOOLS à OPTIONS àBROWSING HISTORY and DELETE EVERYTHING
2) Clean system using registry cleaners
3) Click START à RUN à CMD à Type in netsh winsock reset
4) Reset the PC

FYI, certain sites suffer from this problem but some others don't. I know because I'm a M1 user

Also, some firewalls (the older ones) limit the download speed. By disabling it or 'Allow All' will enable full download speed

Hello guys

I recently signed up for "V 2mbps" plan. Speed wise I'm OK, it seems fast enough in the areas I went (CBD, Clementi). However I can't seem to make SIP calls from my phone (N95) using sunsurf connection and my voip provider (voipbuster). I can register but can't make calls (no ring tone can be heard and after 50-60s the phone says "Connection time out"). The phone has no issues making SIP calls over wifi so I guess my settings are correct. Do you know if M1 specifically blocked SIP/VOIP over 3G with their plan? I asked them as I took up the plan, they said no, it should work, but you never know.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

When I run the vodafone program, the main screen states "Network name unavailable". Tried reinstalling the software 2x and yet can't connect at all. The sim card is okay cos I checked with a normal phone. Called up m1 hotline and they tried to rectify but to no avail. If it can't work with another com, den I guess I have to call up their technical hotline which is only open from 9am-9pm.

Anyone encountered same issues and managed to work out a solution?

anyone on snow leopard using huawei e1550 dongle? any problems?

[idone2u]

i am only getting 0.7 - 1.6mbps
I am using 4mb plan -.-
and the modem is very hot as well...
any bros can tell me how to get faster speed?
I am very fed-up with M1BB at 4MPS... getting sometimes less than 1MPS in Bishan....
I think there is something wrong here....
I complained a lot to M1 since I got it at COMEX and they are "looking" into the situation according to the manager....

One thing though, their service 1627 is good... don;t have to wait for half hour to get to talk to someone. and they will get back to you.... but the problem still not solve....

[YorYor]

Keep complaining until you get a waiver of fees lor...

[galant22]

i got my 7.2mbps at a march pc show when they offered 50% off.
since then, i've been getting crap speeds of barely 2mbps even at 2am
been complaining to them since and here's what they've offered me so far...

waived 1 mth off initially when i first complained... and say will look into the problem
after a while, tell me will make improvement to the signal in the area and give me $10 off for the next 3mths in the meantime
after improvement done, my signal STILL NO IMPROVEMENT... continue to complain
i threatened to terminate and report to CASE and fight my penalty fees in small claims court
i demanded a line cancellation or line downgrade to 2mbps, both they refused...
finally, they decided to offer me $10 off my bill for the rest of my contract

YorYor:No no, the Mobile Broadband V plans... where you get make voicecalls as well.
I believe it's VoIP... wonder what's the quality like?


M1 BBV plan is VOIP on voice meh?...I thot it's BB with VAS normal-voice connection?
Which mean if I discon. data connection, I can still recv voice call & SMS. i shd think it's not becos' it's not 3-series mobile no.

It's on normal GSM connection... Just like your mobile..

Ah, now that sounds like something for me to consider. As long as it's not VOIP. My parents' home phone line changed to mio package and the line became VOIP line. Horrible 1sec echo lags.

Doesn't sound suitable for your parents, unless they surf, still 8 cts/min talk, cf 0.8-1.6 cts/mins 5-10 times more. You better of with a Singtel traditional analogue line.

mio VOIP really not good, for 2 years (past) have cross lines, coming from Indian Spain and South America. ST asked us to monitor and give report: dialled no./ time/intended destination to them to diagnose..Xiao!!..work for them free? back to analogue , no pay $80 (mar09), for fax reliability. SH DV fax not reliable.

[Hot2002]

My K3565-Z works with Starhub sim. Don't have SingTel sim to test...

hi, can share how do u that?

I have the M1 vodafone K3565-Z, the vodafone software is locked, so I downloaded the ZTE software instead but had problem getting it to work with M1 SIM card

[YorYor]

Just create a manual dial-up networking connection after you have installed the initial drivers for Windows to recognise it as a Huawei 3G USB modem.
Number to dial is *99#.

k3565-z is a ZTE modem, not huawei

yes, i have already tried create a dial-up connection with the dial number of *99# but still can't connect. called the technical support and was told to configure the following parameters as well, but still failed..........:(

[YorYor]

Well, if you're using it with M1 SIM, then just use the built-in vodafone software.
If you're using it with any other telco's SIM, then you need to use that telco's APN. sunsurf is M1's APN.

[mvp1985]

Erm.. sorry to ask tat where is the page/file/website tat post all the diff area of usage and problem of the M1 MBB in here huh ??? Last 1-2weeks I saw it and then now MIA liao...

Yeah M1 dropped prices for quite a few months already.

The daytime stability has improved a bit recently in the area where I use it most often (Aljunied). If it can get to the point where the problems occur only once or twice at most per month, I'll prob be wanting to upgrade to the 2Mbps voice plan. Wonder whether they'll allow me to upgrade and just extend the contractual period.
Might move my Starhub mobile line over as well.

How does the integrated voice and broadband solution work? Two sim cards? Or what? Needs VMCC and then rent that Huawei Router?

[liangtam]

V plan?
The router has a built in ATA function for VoIP calls.

Yup for my area the M1 1mbps, somehow I can open multiple windows/tabs w/o anymore connection error liao for the past 1+ wk... My friend living at Haig Road also enjoying this.. Maybe they did something to the network... Hopefully it sustains.. Yoryor also can open multiple tabs?

For M1, can upgrade during contractual period de if I not wrong.. As long as it's a higher plan..
Just like for my M1 Fixed Broadband, even though I'm on 2 yrs promo price contract, I'm still eligible to sign a free device (eg laptop) contract when there's one..

Your Starhub mobile line can add on to your mobile lines to enjoy the multi-line saver lo..

The M1 V plans is the integrated voice and BB solution. Only one sim card... Used it before last yr when M1 mobile BB still wasn't very gd.. Yup need to rent the Huawei router..
