M1 Fixed Broadband?

[LonerZm]

i saw that recently M1 has been pulling cables under the road for their fixed broadband service. So are M1 still sharing with Starhub cables or having their own cables now?

Anyone currently using M1 Fixed Broadband can provide some information on this?

M1 is still currently using Starhub cable for their fixed line broadband..

The cables that they are building now is for their own backhaul transmission of calls and data so as to save the $20million they pay Singtel every yr now... Believe they will make use of that to introduce their own broadband, but not so soon ba...

thanks for your reply... just curious about the installation of the M1 cables that all...

By using Starhub cable, does it mean that M1 and Starhub users are sharing the bandwidth allocated to each block?

hmm when u sign up M1 broadband u can post screenshot of your peak hour speeds and your area. then can compare with HUBBERs who in same area. just a rough guage perhaps

But I think that doesn't indicate whether are you sharing the bandwidth with Starhub...

Hmm not too sure but I do not think so...

Cuz previously I've tried Pacnet Cable and Starhub Cable b4... Pacnet cable was very fast and smooth anytime of the day, but once I switched to Starhub, video streaming lagged like crazy (Imagine loading a 3min Youtube for 30min!!) and surfing slows to a crawl at peak periods which I didn't experience wif pacnet

so i guess there's a segregated and dedicated area in the cable for M1 bah...
