Wink Which ISP u prefer for Mobile Boradband?

seeinbg so many posting on the new service M1, Starhub and Singtel is offering and also all the complains and not so many good postings of the 3 ISP service.. why not share with other potential customer what is good and what u regret..

a combined thread of all customer of the 3 ISP can post your speedtest and area. and also problem u faced.. U will share our knowledge together..

NONE.... M1 was terrible.... Singnet not much better.... Starhub, though technically "Much Superior" and slightly faster than the former two, is still far too slow to be trully qualified as "7.2Mbps Broadband".... to me Starhub Maxmobile is simply just another 512kbps..... or even slower! I'm most disappointed that SH MM had capped their maximum download speed rate..... SO my verdict is NONE..... at least now in year 2007....

Starhub.

Truly unlimited and I don't think either of the other 2 can achieve these stats regularly.

my personal thoughts... If you are a singtel user and you want to surf on the phone... Go for singtel's offerings...

If you are on starhub and want to do so too... Use starhub...

If you want to use it with the modem... I personally think starhub's offer is worth it.

M1... I feel better forget it... Heh....

But i.'m using singtel 512kbps... Along the north east line now... Though only have gprs but it's stable... Paying less cos have singnet too.

My two cents!

For Info to those people who keep harping about Starhub not able to reach 7.2mbps, 1st u need to have a Hardware that is able to obtain 7.2mbps... for local market, most of the devices available now are just a CAT 5 or CAT 6 HSDPA which is able to only obtain up to 3.6MBps or 3600kbps...

If you feel heart pain about spending $$$ and complaining that u can't get the advertised speed, then please get your 7200kbps enabled device from Overseas or continue to use Wireless@SG...

Just my 2cents...
