2x1gbps ports
Its limited at the ont/onr.

Industries standard native speed should be at 2.5Gbps.
This need isp provide us with 2.5gbps ports onr/ont.

Actually SIMBA is providing a GPON ONT with a single 2.5Gbe port, unlike the other ISPs' GPON ONT/ONR for their 2Gbps/2.5Gbps plan (dual 1Gbps plan, or aggregated 2Gbps/2.5Gbps plan).

That is why I call SIMBA 2.5Gbps plan as a "true" 2.5Gbps plan whereas Whizcomms' aggregated 2.5Gbps plan as a "fake" 2.5Gbps plan.

It seems to me SIMBA backend may need some tuning to improve the speed.

I have been on simba since Dec 15 and it's been good so far. I didn't experience any downtime when I'm at home using it and other family members didn't say anything about it either. There is a user here who posted saying there was a downtime early in morning 1am or something. You have to look for it several pages back.

I was on m1 no contract since June and when Simba was available in the area,I signed up. The first week I was the only one using it to see how it goes before I let the other members use it. Once that was done and all is ok only then did I cancel the m1 which was on 31st dec.

Here is the start on the simba journey.

Mind if I ask you a couple of qns?
You were with M1 6 months without contract, you need pay extra?
After switching to Simba, did you miss the home fixed line?
(For me, I can go without the home fixed line, but is my mom using it most of the time, i hate to take it away from her)

Did not pay extra it was the same $30.18 till the end.

I've never really used home fixed line all this while but when I called in to terminate the cs did ask if i wanted to port the fixed line out or something like that. So I suggest to enquire m1 about the fixed line if you want to keep it but just terminate broadband.

$30.18? 500mbps plan?

 

[acidcrash]

Yes the 500mbps plan

 

[weiess]

Yes the 500mbps plan

Nice! huge upgrade from 500mbps to 2.5gbps. And the best part is pay lesser!

 

[i1magic]

Can't resist doing another before going out.

WiFi

From 2nd floor

Next to router

Wow! May I ask what router are you using?

 

[i1magic]

I'm using the Ruijie X60Pro or the english marketing name is Reyee RG-E6. Came across it on taobao.com whilst searching for a router with 2.5G wan port to use with Simba. Did the research so took a gamble.

Yes it's a pretty good router for the price($114) even cheaper during 12.12. Still testing the features and such and it's good enough to cover 2 floors with excellent signal strength.

The upload speed I can get up to 750+Mbps wireless and on my mini PC wired averages 950+Mbps. Hopefully next week can test with the 2.5G usb adapter.

Can share the link to this?

How many 2.5Gbps ports does this have? Also does this router has Parentel Control?

 

[guile]

Hopefully Bedok will have it soon by the time my Singtel plan expires.

There are 2 types of payment quarterly(60+53+50+60(deposit)) and annually(240+53+50).

As I signed up very early on I paid a total of $273 upfront including 3 months subscription and 3 months deposit but I get back $80 credit to my Simba mobile.

They still need to fine tune the network. Hopefully they get better.

You can do a search x60pro锐捷 on taobao.com. Use the app is better than on desktop. The lowest is I've seen is ¥435 without shipping. Better to wait for promo.

It has a 2.5G wan port, 4 gigabit lan ports and parental control.

I'm actually planning to buy a 2.5gbps wan router from GL inet about this week. It's about $180 sgd after tax. Seems pretty feature rich as well with OpenWRT and wireguard as compared to it's competitors.
