M1 Mobile Broadband - SLOW

kellogs · 07-01-2008, 09:03 PM

I have just subscribed to M1 1800 mobile plan ... to my horror it is extremely slow!!!

Called the tech support center but they cant offer any help other than please monitor the situation.

Using USB Huawei 220 .. even in 3.5G mode the latency to M1 first hop (traceroute) is over 500 ms and 3G mode is over 1000ms

Loading of Youtube is jerky, unusable ... and downloading email takes forever.

anyone face similar problem?

I am going to terminate it tomorrow. Any mobile broadband to recommend?

I am exactly facing the same problem as u!! I just got the plan last friday and it was still alright when i used it for the 1st time at my workplace at woodlands. But then 2day I used it, it was terribly slow!!! i thought maaybe woodlands is an "ulu" place...at least my workplace is near senoko.

But then I came back home (upper thomson area) and tested it again, same thing!!! I barely loaded speedtest.net and got like 100kbps for d/l spd, upload spd was like 10+??

sigh, how much do u need 2 pay to terminate? thank goodness I didn't get the wireless broadband router cos i wanted to share the connex btw 2 laptops, its not even enuf for one!!!

btw how do u know if it uses a 3.5g network? is it by the 3G+ thing u see on the connection window?

If the modem (huawei vodafone) in turquoise color, it is operating in 3.5G, blue is 3G

it is so slow .... !!!

sigh

like it or not, contract is 6 months, just need to pay every month even though not completely satisfied. For early termination, there is a penalty, read your terms and conditions in fine print when you sign up.

I've been on this M1BB for 9 mths plus.

In the beginning, it was quite ok. But lately, these past few days, totally cannot surf or very slow.
Guess I will have to terminate it very soon.

kakaBoBo · 08-01-2008, 02:12 PM

also going to terminate soon.
even slower then wireless@sg at time.

Hi Bros,

Try Singtel BBOM, me using 512K and is reasonably speed. No complaint so far.

kero89 · 08-01-2008, 02:48 PM

early termination, u need to pay

X no. of mths left on ur existing contract * Promotion rates as of sign-up (22.42, 38.76, 69.05)

+ return ur BB modem in its original box with accessories...

StarHub is just as bad. I tried it before for 2 months or so. Most of the time download speed is at 1Mbps and speeds can go all the way down to GPRS speeds (even stationing at one place).
