Internet Service Provider (ISP)

[xiaofan]

Their website can’t even load properly on my iPhone. Not a very good start. Lol! Would have thought an ISP would make sure their website works on all devices.

No problems loading their websites using my old iPhone 6S here.

Under fibre broadband nothing happens when i tap on add ons, voice idd & support.

VQ sucks for sure, former customer here. Care to share what was wrong with m1?

FYI M1 got promotion if you switch to M1.
You can sell away the free router to save even more.

Effectively, you'd be paying $36.57/mth over 24 months for Fibre Broadband 1Gbps. Plus, your subscription comes with Wireless AC Router, 4G Mobile Broadband, Fixed Voice and more!

You can go to the Whizcomms thread to check. Seems to be okay. Only got one major issue with Netflix in Dec 2019.

Lower cost with okay service and using SingTel network. Make sure you ask for them to have the ONR configured as ONT before the installation if you plan to use your own feature rich router.

But one guy claims & i quote:

“I asked for ONT as I have my own wireless router. They say they stopped issuing ONT, and will come with ONR.”

Unless got black & white from them that its ONT, better be careful unless u dont mind ONR. That said, black & white also CMI. Like stinktel lah. Use their online support & contacted 3 or 4 different staff to ask ONT or ONR. Get so many different replies!

Do not be paranoid.

Edit to add:
But if you are worried, just go for M1.

Can’t help but be paranoid cos the contracts are all at least 12 months. Make a mistake & im in the shyt for a year at least.

Honestly i am seriously looking at m1. Just that i had concerns about their typical download speeds as per my earlier posts.

I know its just a guide but when m1 says the low end of their speed range is 400+ while red and green are boasting 800+, either red & green are calculating differently or m1 is being overly modest. Imagine a 1 gbps wired connection getting only 400+ mbps. A bit the slow lor.

All ISP have pro and cons. So far M1 has worked for me. Subscribed to 500Mbps and hitting 400-490Mhps even on WiFi 6.

That is inline with their website's 458.6 – 473.5Mbps.

I am planning to switch from singtel home fibre BB to m1.

My only concern is the timing. Don’t want to be left with no broadband during the transition. Also, im planning to port the digital home line number from singtel to m1.

I assume the best option is to sign up with m1 a month (2 months sounds overly kiasu) before singtel contract expires. So for one month i have 2 ISPs never mind lah. Then at least i can make sure m1 is up & running before i terminate singtel.

Or is there a better solution? Oh & must Netlinktrust come to my house to physically activate the 2nd port on the termination point?

Best is to terminate ST after M1 is up and running.

From what I read here, due to Covid-19 Netlink trust might need more time than usual.

Netlink trust need to come your house to check the signal before isp can send their people down.
