SIMBA Fibre Broadband

[DarwinN9]

Does your AC router has 2.5G lan port? If not, you won't take advantage of the 2.5G/10G plan via ethernet.

I just change to Xiaomi BE7000 yesterday night and this is what i get wired.. fun time..


But the coverage is wide. No more blind spot in my house.

hi gurus,

I signed up the simba fiber and collected the ONT. I scheduled my preferred NLT appointment slots next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday but yet to received appointment confirmation email.
Would I expect someone to come my place for installation? or I just connect the ONT to Termination Point myself and the connectivity will happen by scheduled appt date?

Err... The NLT appointment date and time is stated in the same e-mail for ONT collection.

Just wondering how long is the turnaround time from you signing up to the NLT appointment dates?

I signed up Simba 10gbps plan on 29 July, schedule the NLT appointment date on 6 Aug and the contract starting date was 7 Aug. I terminated and ended my existing bb contract on the 12 Aug. Everything went smoothly.

anyone came to your place on the NLT appointment date? or they just remotely activate the fiber/internet connectivity service?

I think someone will come down to test the connection coming out from the ONT.

I remember that time person came down to tune the fiber signal as it is too weak after testing ..

Your appt is for self installation or with installation ah? Will you receive any email once it's activated? Cause I scheduled 2 slots (AM/PM) for today installation, but the email doesnt state AM or PM zz.

My m1 500mbps directly test from asus router

updated post to include fast dot com as well. more of a best ideal case scenario from my laptop. if watch netflix from smart TV would be limited by max 1gbps limit of the tv ethernet port.

after i chose my 3 slots, I got an email confirmation of a firm slot given for the NLT appointment which is today morning. Self-installation, NLT appt only activate and test the port is working, I plugged the ONT into the fibre port myself and to my router and it works immediately after my NLT appt. Although the guy told me need to wait one day (suspect he don't want me to test with him around)

Maybe the day itself if got problem then they fix remotely or come down to your house to fix.

So they can shake leg if no one call them.
