Eight Home Internet - 10 Gbps

[Edz_Sg]

erm... my installation failed... NLT patching issue I suppose as no signal to my terminal (Port 2)

Anyone encounter such matter and how long usually need to wait for NLT to fix it?

looking at options for my upcoming BTO key collection, is eight with Max7 a good option to go for?

IMHO.
You should look at maybe 2 or more units for wired backhaul.
Also need to add a 10GbE swtich if you want whole house 10GbE.

yes, am looking at it actually. Possibly dun need until whole house 10GbE, just more of hows eight broadband and hows eero Max7 itself, coz 1 unit comes free with the subscription and can buy more at lowered price together directly, at the same price that other high end mesh/router's 1 unit price
Coz right now at my parents house, am using M1 and its provided BE92U, paired with the previously provided XD6. Personally am quite disappointed with the BE92U's performance actually

You can start with 1 eero, see if you're happy with it, then buy another eero if you feel you need it — which could be an eero Pro 7, for example. (Doesn't have to be the same model.) Just make sure you're wiring them together for the backhaul if at all possible. I think Eight gives you a 30 day window after installation to buy another discounted eero router if you want it, but please confirm that detail with Eight.

Eight's broadband service is just fine. It's effectively StarHub's broadband service, albeit without telephone or live chat support (e-mail and customer service center only) and without any fixed telephone line option.

The usual challenge is that the powerful router is at the fiber point which may not be the best place and the network does not allow you to put this powerful router anywhere else.

For me, initially I thought of getting 3x Eero to setup Mesh. In the end, I opted to buy a D-Link DPN-BE7212GR instead and would be installing 2 or 3 units of the TP-Link BE65 Pro.

Mine quite straight forward. Perhaps NLT takes longer to resolve.

Usually how fast they will come install after we sign up? My contract with Starhub is ending in July and I am thinking of switching to Eight before terminating the Starhub one.

Also will it be easy to sell off the Eero max 7 via carousell? Thinking if should take the 24months contract just to earn abit from selling off the router.

Anyone know if I want to sign up for Eight, do I need to cancel my Starhub 2 x 1gbps first or I can use the 2nd port?

You can use 2nd port of the FTP. I am running 1st Singtel then Eight.

ok thx, thought both TP may have been taken up by the 2 x 1gbps plan

You can contact NLT if you are not sure, ask if you have a second port to use.

Hello, does anyone have a brand new Eero Max 7 from Eight to let go at cost?

Looking to try the router out for my home.

Can I check did they text or email you before they come down to install the ONT?
