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

ew singtel

at least the speedtests will be consistent

can go ST business plans at $900+/mth

I understand that if your address is a residential address then you have to sign up as home user plan as the Fibre connection is a residential one. If your address is a shop house or commercial address then the fibre connection will be a business one, then you have to sign up as business plan. Whether it is home use or business, it all depend on your address type.

Now Starhub asking for my speed test again. I really do not understand why they are asking for it. They do not have any solution so no point keep asking for speed test. It is just wasting my time. Sad.

True la.

residential zoned address can signup both residential and business plan, but business zoned address can only signuo business plan

Where you get the Intel X550-T2 nic from? Taobao?

can be found on ebay for around 100usd before shipping and GST.

Will ST ask NLT to change our fibre cabling to 1:1 instead of 1:24?

 

[Henry Ng]

The problem with SH is they keep asking for speed test during peak hours and non-peak hours on cable connection and wifi without any solution to resolve the issue. This is very unfair to users. When we proposed a solution, SH just ignore it without any reply. Something has to be done.

Maybe you can start organizing collective action for all affected users here and then try pitching this to local independent tech journalist for all your ordeal...

So you want 10Gbps broadband? Here's how to gear up for it!

Why would they? Business connection is 1:16 split ratio.

1:1 split monthly fee is hundred over dollars for the ISP leh, and we haven't account for the loss of port utilisation yet.

Hey guys.

Some context:
Upgraded to SH 10GBps.
Currently using the provided TP Link EB810v router.

Current set up:
(1 dash is same level, 2 dash is additional hop)
SH ONT
- TP Link Omada
--TP Link EB810v router -> 1x 10G MacBook Pro -> 3x 2.5G going to gaming PC / spare workstation / TV
- 3 PoE (from Omada) -> 1 switch and 2 AP around house

Looking to reduce my devices thus:

SH ONT -> [router switch with 8 ports preferred all 10G and PoE optional] -> to rest of the devices

Any recommendations for such a device?
Budget is not so much of a problem but size definitely is.

All 10G ports is kind of a deciding factor, as I plan to plug in my Mac Studio and get a new NIC (10G) for my gaming PC.
My whole house is cat 8 (6 points) so I can confirm there is no layer 1 issue. I have tested it before, local file transfers can catch fire. Trying to get everything I want the internet access on this 10G even if they dont support it just for the sake of it. For example, my Switch can do 700 to 900 on LAN. Xbox series X is even crazier, sometime breaking 1.1/1.2 on my 1Gbps connection. I have no clue why.

I have not touched my xbox recently so havent really seen anything, but looking for some suggestions to reduce clutter.

Thank you.

My 2 cents.... IMO, It's a rare combination for a consumer 10g router with that many ports - typically you'd have a router+switch. If you want "one" device, it has to support WAN ports or managed ports/VLANs, so you can make sure your LAN is separate to your ONT connection. Only one I can think of that would fit would be the Mikrotik CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS - they're all SFP+ ports, so you'd need to buy 10GBASE-T SFP+ modules for devices using RJ45 connections (inc. the ONT). Downside of Mikrotik is that they're fairly hands-on and technical to configure, and because you're combining WAN+routing+switching essentially, you'd definitely need to know what you're doing. Also, considering you'll want WIFI, you're going to need another device anyway, so hard to pack everything into one device.

Hey kindred,

Thanks for the reply. I am looking exactly for that, Router + Switch x8 10G ports with optional PoE.

I will check this out: Mikrotik CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS

Thank you again.

I'd look into the MicroTik range, cos the other locally available all-10G Ethernet switch I know of is TP-Link TL-SX1008 and TL-SX105...

And yes I know the switch I mention above is not a router.

So if u sign up business plan which is 1:16 split ratio but our address is 1:24 then will the ISP change your connection to 1:16 split ratio? At first i still thinking business is 1:1 la.

Just to help confirm - I have the SH provided XS-240X-A and it was fine in my UDM-Pro 2.5G WAN port.
