New 10Gbps/5Gbps/6Gbps/3Gbps XGS-PON based plans

[soreloser]

I have a question: Whats the use case for 10GBPS internet speeds? I have 1gbps and it seems to be more than enough already

1Gbps is sufficient for most use cases.

However, people may go to 10Gbps plan for different reasons.
1) tech savvy and want to try new things, it has become much more affordable now.
2) the contents and/or WiFi 7 router bundle from Starhub may make the 10Gbps plan cheaper than 1Gbps plan for Starhub users to who need the bundled contents or want to upgrade to WiFi 7 router.
3) have real needs for 10Gbps bandwidth -- only minorities among the users who subscribe to 10G plans.

Now with the new SH $110 bundle. Can I confirm now SH will supply a ONT like my current 2gbps and also provide the TP link Router yeah?

so I should be able to replicate my current setup? FTP-ONT-Patch Panel-Router

The 10gbps ONT should have a 10gbps and 4 other LAN that I utilise for LAN to other rooms via the patch panel in DB box?

Once it is an ONT, only one 10G port and no other functional LAN ports.

If you want to put the router outside of the DB box and yet want to have the functional LAN ports in the rooms, you need to have two nearby LAN ports in the living room (or other room).

ONT -- patch panel -- living room LAN port 1 -- main router TP-Link EB810v 10G WAN

EB810v Router 10G LAN port -- living room LAN port 2 -- patch panel -- 10G switch in DB box -- other room LAN ports

You can also use 2.5G switch if you do not need to have 10G wired devices in the rooms

EB810v router 2.5G LAN -- living room LAN port 2 -- patch panel -- 2.5G switch in DB box -- room LAN ports

The previous Nokia all-in-one ONR will have one 10G port and a few extra 1Gbps LAN ports.

Pay extra money so that SG can remain future-ready.

Thanks. So will this work?

DB - ONT - 2.5G switch - Patch panel - Room LAN x 3 (Living room 1 LAN connect to TPLink 810v, Living Room 2 LAN for SH TV Box and Room 2 LAN PC)

no, the connection from the ONT has to go through a router first

Today just completed running CAT 7 LAN lines from my router to the master room and the back room.........really tired

Tonight cannot sleep liao

Tomorrow SH Trooper coming to install 10Gbps ONT/Router leh

Have been using M1 1Gbps for almost 30 yrs now the sudden quantum jump......imagine jump from 1 to 10........really excited ah

nothing to be so excited. It is just a bit faster only.

1gbps where got 30 years you skipped dial-up and ADSL uh, lol

It has been about 14 years since Starhub launched 1 Gbps plan.

For me, 1gbps to 10gbps not much difference. The previous upgrades were a lot more noticeable: 1.5Mbps to 10Mbps to 100Mbps 1o 1Gbps. Our broadband speed upgrade were 10 fold every generation. But the most significant upgrade was from 56k dial up to 1.5Mbps MaxOnline, it was night and day!

Honestly, day to day no diff haha

Seems that above comments mentioning not much diff between 1gbps and 10 gbps atm, not sure if I shd spend extra per mth to upgrade both my bandwidth and router.

1 Gbps fibre package:

24 mth 1 gbps @ $40.06/mth = $961.44

20 mth EPL (contract free for 10 mths of epl action every year) @ $25.46/mth = $509.20

Total $1,470.64 x 1.09 = $1,603/24 = $66.80/mth

10 Gbps package (free wifi 7 router, free 24 mth epl, free 12 mth disney+ std)

24 mth 10 gbps @ $69.95/mth = $1,678.80

Total $1,678.80 x 1.09 = $1,829.90/24 = $76.25

Extra $9.45/mth or total $226.90 for 24 mths to enjoy 10 gbps, wifi 7 router and 12 mths of disney+ std.

Anybody with fibre contract expiring rcv any promo recently?

Itchy hand cancelled the previous SH 10Gb appt, it was $88 with free Netflix etc.

Now considering the one you just shared -
SH 10Gb at $69.96
vs
MR 10gb (1 month free) $59.90 + one-time $50 for router

The WiFi 7 router itself is worth the cost difference.

That is why I mentioned before -- Point 2 for Starhub users

I remember being amazed when my 512k broadband could download a 3mb file in 30 seconds! LOL but I think the greatest QoL improvement was that can use phone and internet at the same time and no worries about phone bills exploding

Hi, how about MR's 10Gb router vs SH's ?
