If i were to ask to find Pros for singnet broadband over Starhub Cable? anyone can list the pros?

Although i am using cable starhub, but my gf wanted singnet broadband but her sis wanted to change to starhub. Of cos i have to help my gf though i dont mind starhub either.

So can anyone list down the pros for using singnet broadband? i think singnet connection better right

Here is the my experience


Starhub:

Good:

Best customer support and fast response.
Truly satisfied with there response
Stable and Reliable.
Can use any Router available in market.

Bad:

During Peak hours at night 7pm to 10 pm if you are downloading from Overseas websites/Servers (do not be fooled by uptp 100mbs which is from Singapore based servers only) the speed will be slow. Streaming media like youtube will be really slow.

Singnet:

Good
Speed is good and satisfactory during peak hours from overseas websites


Bad

Customer support sucks. Two days response time during office hours only.
You have to use your own mobile phone to call and trouble shoot when u call them if the Digital phone line breaks down. It can take upto 1 hour and you pay for your mobile bill.

Ugly(Singtel)

I have MIO plan with SIngtel. SO for it broke down 7 times over period of 20 Months. SO average every 3 months 2 days down.


Now you decide what is best.
