Hmm... 100 mbps ethernet is very old tech liao. Do i really need to have a gigabit ethernet adaptor or powerful pc to achieve that speed??

I am using acer aspire happy 2 netbook.

anyway, that's one possibility. i will check that out. thanks.

Oh gosh, I actually assumed it was SOP for them to bring along a gigabit laptop to let customer see the speed for themselves.

That said, it is very possible that your netbook is the bottleneck, e.g. CPU can't keep up - have you looked at the CPU usage in the task manager?

Btw which netbook model are u using?

Your Netbook is probably the bottleneck.

M1 Fibre Broadband IT Show Promo

[mobile2009]

I have signed up m1 100 Mbps fibre for a few days. Let me just share some of my experience using the NEXT GENERATION BROADBAND.

Overall, the surfing and downloading are indeed faster than my old adsl 10Mbps. Else, the surfing of websites are not much differ from the 10 Mbps.

However, the little satisfaction that i gained from the above diminished from the problem that i had with the M1 fibre. In many occasions, i discovered that the speed of the connection slowed down to a crawl ( like i am still using the 64K dial in modem) . Many disconnections. This is really bad.

Hope M1 can improve on their service.

Hi mobile2009, most likely you have a DNS issue. try setting Google's DNS (8.8.8.8) as your primary DNS. I used to set this as my secondary, but after last week's problem, I've set it to my primary DNS and so far very smooth sailing.

[mobile2009]

i saw your post on the dns before and i had set my dns to google dns and open dns. still i am having connection issue.

anyway, for home use, not that critical. just disappointed with m1 service.

Over the weekends yes. Now no more liao. All back to normal for my case at least for now, fingers crossed.

am staying at Bishan and on 200 Mbps plan. Recently realised my M1 speed is getting slower esp at night. Speedtest only about 40 Mbps

Am not even able to stream Hulu smoothly with buffering every 5 sec.

Anyone knows if i can raise this to M1 ?
