Any folks on Viewqwest fibre?

Think about it. If u receive an email from a customer who is ranting like a mad man and spewing vulgarities incoherently, would u bother to entertain or would u just leave him to screw himself?

Let him screw himself

1 less user means more bandwidth for the rest of us.

Thanx for being a spokesman for both VQ and MR..must be getting a good deal from them.

Can I quote you in the discussion my MNC has with VQ? Because it will make the elimination of the potential vendors much easier. No VQ and MR, just traffic lights. Thanks for the catchphrase.

NicBlaise,
Since your fanboy doesn't feel that I'm suitable to be your customer, there's no necessity for me to give you my contacts via PM. I'll be calling your sales department to cancel the whole sales agreement.

Make sure to reward darkmatt for being an excellent customer.

its your loss anyway

quote for truth - i think its useless too. cancelled my freedom vpn already.

i found out they check the content you want to access, and decide if they are going to route you to the US IP or keep you on the SG IP.

Do a test for yourself when on freedom vpn:
Google search tell me I am on a US IP
Whatsmyip.com tell me I am on a SG IP
Speedtest.net tell me I am on a SG IP with Viewqwest and autoselects a SG server to do speedtest.


If I am paying for Freedom VPN, and I connect to the VPN, I don't want some 'intelligent' routing behind the scenes that would decide if it should still route me to US IP or not. Somemore I don't think its even disclosed in the first place.

Can Viewquest comment more on this? I would like to sign up as a customer soon, however if the VPN provided is not a true VPN but a VPN at your discretion, then I might as well pay for alternatives such as unotelly, strong VPN etc... which may work out to be a cheaper alternative.

Thanks.

Just adding my voice to this "comment request". Access to US television content and radio content is the key reason for me to add fibre, and the key reason why I'm looking at ViewQ and MR. For me, it's a choice between MR+static IP+UnoTelly OR VQ+FreedomVPN. This is in ADDITION to my home DSL (signed a 24 month contract not too long ago... sputter sputter... my fault... sputter sputter) so the overall cost is important.

There may be others like me who've seen the VQ bandwidth charts and heaps of customer-love that VQ's receiving, but are caught in a similar "which approach to VPN" conundrum...

Unlike normal VPN services like strong VPN which routes all your traffic to USA. Viewqwest Freedom VPN is site specific. The reason for this is to allow us to support multiple geographic regions. Not all content is USA based. Our Freedom VPN service is designed for streaming media content. It is not for hiding the identity of the user or for online shopping.

There is content that is specific to UK like BBC, iTV, etc. There is content specific to China, Hong Kong, Australia, etc etc.

Our Freedom VPN service was designed to be a network based solution where the end user does not need to install any software on their device, thus enabling the support on devices like the Apple TV.

If you require to route all your traffic to USA for example, then the traditional VPN services like Strong VPN would be more applicable.

Hi, I'm actually interested in VPN since I watch mostly US serials. So let me try to understand what you are saying is that traditional VPNs are regionally restricted. I'm not sure strong VPN is from where but I assume US so even if you wish to watch UK or other region-restricted programs, you can't? Whereas for Freedom, you are not restricted regionally. But the downside I read some posts back is that this will take longer to load, which isn't exactly unreasonable.

On to the service, if part of the reason for VPN use is to unblock media. Why am I still unable to see adult material? Is it because its a 'Singapore' VPN?

I have StrongVPN also, and if only that Zhone had the option similar to a DD-WRT capable router I would have not bought the FreedomVPN seeing that some sites are still blocked.

not take longer to load.

basically, VQs VPN is all traffic is routed locally first. ONLY when u enter a region blocked website that its routed accordingly.
BUT, if the website isnt in the list, informing them will still require some time for routing

and how much is VQ selling a spare fiber optic cable?

Don't bother, use unblock-us.com instead, much more reliable, no VPN.

Not sure if they sell but found someone post this before.

I am in the same dilemma as well as both threads seem to have supporters in both camps. And with the better pricing, promotions and upcoming purple VPN (Not sure good or not) from MR, I hope VQ can prove to us why we should pay a premium for the services. (other than they need the $$$ for constant upgrades.) Not that I am unwilling to pay but I want to know how does the premium I pay benefits me as an end user? I mean if the premium is for that additional 5-6 Mbps then as EU I will have to reconsider the additional premiums paid.

I am not a MR supporter here. In fact I was ready to sign up for VQ until the recent array of threads which have made me reconsider. I really hope that VQ could sell me on why I should place my $$$ on them so I could just sign up with you asap.

Does the freedom VPN allow access to China's ip sensitive content on PPTV, PPS and youku etc...??

Viewqwest Freedom VPN today supports both USA and UK and PPTV in China. So we basically support 3 geographic regions at the same time. Depending on the site you are trying to access you will be able to access it.

As we have to manually update the routes for the sites, for sites that we are not aware of it may take a couple of days for us to do so.

The motivation behind Freedom VPN was to make it as simple for the end user to use as possible.

We are actually about to launch Freedom VPN 2.0 which should make life even easier.

Yes, you may want to monitor the heat when stacking devices. We have seen returned faulty Zhone ONTs with burn marks on them D:
