Singnet MIO vs Starhub Maxoline Pros and cons

[itsme220]

Singnet MIO:
Pros:

Very good speed to all international websites. Stable speed during peak hours and non peak hours. I can get constant 2000Kbs download speed during peak hours and non peak hours to international location.

I save $10 per month. (Residencial tel line, Mobile plan and Broadband MIO 3000 Kbs)

Cons:

So far 4 times broke down with in 9 months. Tech. visited all the 4 times to my home and I took 4 (1/2 days) leave to fix.

Customer support really bad.

Inflexible Support.

Technician will not visit your house after evening 6.0 PM.

Accessing certain webservices will not work. (In my case if I have a application which usesWebservices to download some information it will not work)

Currenly VPN (Virtual private network to access your office network from home) stopped working.

Starhub Maxonline

Pros:

Stable. Really very stable. I used this service for 4 years before switching to Singnet. I never encounter any issues.

Friendly and understanding customer service.

Very flexible customer support. five star *

All webservice, VPN works perfectly.


Quick response.

Cons

Poor download speed to international location during peak hours.

Slightly expensive (Maxonline express) + Telephone + Free Digital voice. (Need to spend additional $10 per month)

that's why i am using Starhub and not SINGNET - so many problems.

not configuration problem but hardware issues.

DSL forever blinking(either line or modem failure)..

have to remember login ID and pw in case hardware failure

alot of sites cannot accessed, especially china sites(test with a number of modem still it doesnt work - i believe its the ISP that banned it)

the bundled 2WIRE modem doesn't works with tons of applications despite opening up ports, dmz and etc.

even when bridging it.. it solves a number of issues yet tons still left running problematically.

CSO forever asking me to hit the reset button(din they know the reset button merely set the bloody firmware in it back to factory settings only?) yet doesn't solve my pain..

Outlook eXpress having problems at times.
VPN crazy problem forever cannot login..
Yahoo Messenger ain't possible to login with via MAC book.

what else? too many things to listed out.. have to spend cash to get a different modem.. what the.

whereas other modem does the job pretty well - still there are certain applications/sites ain't able to boot pretty well..

[divasion]

What happend if we forget our user and id,is there anyway we can prove the the person this connection is ours?or is there anyway to gt back the user and id?

[haylui]

so far all broke down can fix on my own
singnet user here
experienced dc for 3 times last week so far. else connection very stable.

[silthfire]

singnet user since jan 08...nvr encounter any dc

[liangtam]

odd excuses reh... if u can remember ur email password, u could have done it for ur singnet account as well

[kivine]

starhub is the best for stability. i nv care much for speed anyway. Imagine when ur internet breaks down it would **** bricks for me.

[aaur4man]

my experience with adsl and cable:

ADSL NON MIO on 3rd party modem, not 2wire
1) Good international speeds anytime of the day. BT downloads fast, but cant set too many peers if not will start to dc other apps. I believe it is hardware/settings problem, still playing around with them. 95% of advertised download speed not a problem.

Sites that cant be accessed normally can be done through singnet web proxy. My opera browser uses web proxy while IE 7 is normal.

2) Never DC after the 1st week unless i change router settings. Internet is always on 24/7.

3) Upload speed much higher compared to cable, less the ultimate plan.

4) No more lag when hosting dota, can do BT at the same time. My friends mocked at my new com last year when i hosted them with cable 8 mbps. i'll never forget that.

5) unique IP, no problem with google or rapidshare or whatever share.

Cable

Before all these below, I have called the hotline many times throughout the 4++yrs of usage. Technician came to my place. inspected the whole setup and optimized it. Checked with his tester that signal is at least good, if not excellent with no noise interference.

1) 100% dialup speed from 9pm-1am which also affects local sites. on the whole the bandwidth is pretty much screwed up. 9am-2pm can get up to 70% of advertised speed, then slowly drops throughout the day. BT is can forget about it. I have never gotten 90% download speed on any medium except local sg/partnered sites, since after 1.5mbps got a free upgrade to 2mbps, all the way till 8mbps.

2) VERY STABLE connection, rarely dc. Once on, just surf. back then adsl still had to manually sign in iirc.

3) My 8mbps max upload can go 30k/s, but after 15k/s download speed drops drastically, laggy experience throughout. thus upload capped at 15k/s 24/7.

4) gave up on online games.

5) try again, says google and rapidshare.

my friends on cable @ other parts of sg(potong pasir,bedok,tampines) getting decent speeds, other friends including me staying west cannot tahan the mossy pipe.

ultimately the choice of ISP is still subject to area and dsl line quality. its up to the user to find out which isp works better for his residence.

[ohmygod1986]

Singnet users with no dc problem should be the happiest user :yawn::yawn::yawn:

[chunxi]

back then have to remember userid and password bcos singnet is only using usb modem and windows login process
nowaday, all these userid/password is stored in the modem/router, no need to remember even power failure.

i changed email pw budden my login pw w not follow suit - fyi in my case thou.

gaming with mol(dota) with 3 accounts login in at once hv got no latency problem.. despite having 1 as host 2 as client(all wireless somemore) bnet.

same goes for cs1.6.

other games did not try - yet.

will switch back to singnet once my contract is up by the end of the year.

[hwzone_sg]

singnet mio user since feb07. initial 1st month frequent d/c issue but discovered problem lies with the extension power point cable faulty, changed to a new one, no d/c ever since. p2p good speed and stable. overall good and no complains.

i don't even think he got use singnet before or used it at least 5 years ago.
can see from all his reply in so many threads, all promoting starhub best this and best that.
let's hope starhub continue to provide him with all these excellent service and standard.

i dislike starhub bcos once my tv is spoil by the cable point bcos 240v flowing down thru it fried my tv, when i ask the technician to come, he still have the face to tell me it's normal. now i always ground that stupid antenna. maybe 1 day i will also pump 240v in to blow the whole block.

[chunxi]

[erwinrommel]

Singnet users with no dc problem should be the happiest user :yawn::yawn::yawn:

Yup! Singtel 8Mbps Mio user here. My brother, brother-in-law and me have nothing but praise for its speed.

Currently staying in south Woodlands which is pretty new. In fact, my friends who stay in Toa Payoh, Bishan,AMK and Hougang don't complain about DCs.

hahas, don't guess please. my company is using that 2pid singnet services thou. lol - i m not promoting just stating the facts that im receiving, honestly i want more people to go over to Singnet so i can attain rox speed from Starhub personally w/o having the need to worry about what some people say with regards to the bandwidth is being shared... LOL to this manz.

you too ain't you promoting Singnet?

furthermore i don't have an extremely pleasant experience with the great red pipe..

so to repeat your own question to you, what happen if the device break down ? :s8:

device breakdown, change device - re-key in your username and password again.

btw, im using SINGNET almost every day during work. LOL - fyi.


YAWNzzzzz

When more ppl ish switch away from MOL, they'll drop more upstream pipe, thereby ur connection will slow further, and u can only LL :)

let's see ba - even my surrounding friends have got no problem. if what you say is true i will be switching then.. till then.

[hwzone_sg]

@ MarineX

you are mistaken. i have 0 from singnet up till date too. i am saying is the power point, you know the power point where you plug in to on your microwave oven or fridge, it's the extension cable(you know those long long wires to extend from the wall socket to where ever kind) for the power point that was faulty.

[eddy2099sg]

Let's be civil here. I don't think anyone here is wrong about their personal experiences. Most people would not have both SNBB and Starhub installed in the same location and testing simultaneously.

If one network is really problematic for everyone, no one would be using them anymore. As that is not happening, there would be people happy with both network and the experience would vary from location to location and from usage to usage.

I am personally happy with my Starhub Hubstation and do not experience the latency which others have experience with it.

no, that isnt true.

[ohmygod1986]

Starhub offers 100mbps for partner sites ...

As for other sites ... Singnet FTW :s12::s12::s12:

[itsme220]

I heard that starhub 100mbps speed is = singnet 10/8mbps or something.Is that true?

If you are surfing local sites (hosted in Singapore data centre) I think Starhub is best.

If you are surfing international sites (Sites which are hosted in overseas) Singtel is best.

The verdict

You want to suffer daily using Starhub MOL (low download speed for overseas sites including Yourtube.com) or You want to suffer once in a while using Singnet MIO? Decide.=:p

[richneo]

I heard that starhub 100mbps speed is = singnet 10/8mbps or something.Is that true?
more like 100mbps on mol ultimate almost on par with singnet 25mbps

except that singnet suffers more down time and dc as compared to cable

[itsme220]

Im using StarHub since day 1.

Currently on MOL ultimate plan.

very very very satisfied with it.


From Starhub

try to compare your speed with overseas server during peak hours (singapore time 10.0 PM). You will know how bad starhub is performing. or download youtube video.

Note use direct wired connection not wireless connection.

If you have any friends/ good neighbor who has signet, do the same at same time. (with in 5 minutes of starhub test time)

You will see significant difference.

Then share your thoughts. I am sure you will appreciate singtel better in terms of speed.:s12:

[kohlaiheng]

to me if you choose starhub or singnet ultimate plan makes sure you get the best freebies. the only consolation for you other than paying sky high prices! 100Mbps is just a name locally, in the evening time you can see that 100mbps will not performed as expected. be wise as two years is not a short period, you are paying thousands of dollars for it with the hefty penalty if you unable to complete the contract. Be happy! :s12:

It is hard to say. Sometimes they just bring the same current offer to the show while other times they have something special. But you be sure that during the show, the line would usually be long. Not sure about this time though with all the bad publicity here at HWZ.

Anyways, if you do not need it now then wait since it is only about a week away.

i think i wont wait already since i believe the q v long n pack. just curious, normally what promotion will they have, price discount or freebies??
if i sign up on weekends, will they have promotions compared on weekdays? thanks

[eddy2099sg]

Last year at the Comex, the offer at the fair and in the store was the same. I cannot quite remember if during the fair timeframe if the offer also applies to the store.

If you like what they offer now, no harm getting it.

Hi guys... I am a Singnet user whom contract is ending soon...
Am thinking of switching to MIO plan which consist of Home phone, Mobile and Broadband...

Q.Will upgrading to MaxOnline Premium from MaxOnline Express mean that my speed will be doubled?
A. Your connection or last mile speed is doubled. But your actual surfing speeds will not because there could be bottlenecks in different parts of the Internet, and not at your broadband line. In the past, the bottleneck was often the last mile connection but with falling business bandwidth prices and advancements in technology, this is no longer the case.

In fact, if you are doing only regular Internet surfing and checking ofe-mails, there will not be much difference in your user experience whether you are on MaxOnline Express or MaxOnline Premium because the data traffic is small. However, if you engage in a lot of video streaming, downloads, online games and other activities where a lot of data is flowing through in any second, migrating to a higher "speed" service will mean a significant increase in your actual user experience. Also, if you are sharing your line with multiple users in a household, having a bigger pipe will also mean that each user will have more bandwidth.

Seeking your advice. First:- What's DC? Second I've been refusing all these years to install cable, because i live in a bungalow & Starhub wants to charge $6,000/- to connect. Now they offer to connect free, if I sign-up with them at minimum $128.40 for 24 months for TV + Internet.( $3,081.60) The advantage to me is I can get to see. motor spot chanells on TV. I'm currently with Singnet 8Mbps & the youngsters are happy with the speed. However my daughter says stay with Singnet & don't change to Starhub, because her friends hsve experienced slow speeds. Anyone experienced using Starhub 100Mbps & how does it compare with Singnet
8Mbps or 10Mbps. Your valued comments& experiences are welcomed & appreciated........Terasatu

8Mbps or 10Mbps. Your valued comments& experiences are welcomed & appreciated........Terasatu
Youngsters like to game. You should stick with SingNet for better latency.

For gaming latency is more important than the speed. StarHub can offer you high speed with their cable technology but you are getting a clogged connection with a very high latency. I won't be surprised if they start cussing and swearing when they use MaxOnline to game.

Seeking your advice. First:- What's DC? Second I've been refusing all these years to install cable, because i live in a bungalow & Starhub wants to charge $6,000/- to connect. Now they offer to connect free, if I sign-up with them at minimum $128.40 for 24 months for TV + Internet.( $3,081.60) The advantage to me is I can get to see. motor spot chanells on TV.

Hi, got a question here.
i am a current singnet subscriber whose contract had expired but is interested in subscribing to Starhub's Triple Freedom Pack (http://www.starhub.com/portal/site/HubVillage/menuitem.8314480120af77b7eaaf3b608324a5a0/?vgnextoid=e2fd1840a0e3c010VgnVCM10000038425a0aRCRD&vgnextfmt=ItemCMId%3A7d835e1ed5dbd110VgnVCM100000464114acRCRD).
Do i just go to any Starhub branch shops and register and they give us the set-top box and motorola modem and set up ourselves since they says it plug n play or they have to do the installation for us?

thanks

Only comment is peak period after dinner and weekend, Starhub is visibly slower. Otherwise, DSL disconnect problem or dunno what signal issue, depends if you heng suay home wiring problem.

I'm using the miohome 3mbps and maxonline premium 12mbps at home, still on contract for starhub till april then gonna cut off. Like what most people say, during peak hours starhub makes you wanna kill someone if you are surfing the web or watching youtube. I have resigned myself during peak hours to just sending files to my friends with starhub's superior upload speed :s22:
