SIMBA Fibre Broadband

[SpawnXp]

My simba 10gpbs is a joke. With lan connected the speed test only 800-900 mbps wireless only 300-500mbps. Anyone know why?

jokes on you if ur hardware isnt 10g .
are u running a 10g network card ? or just a 1g network card and expect 10g out from it ?

Still many ppl dun know their device unable to make use of the high speed. The CSO at the counters also dun advice one.. Just said the higher the better..

HardwareZone has a nice write-up about 10Gbps.

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

Test it simba 10gbps Tp link hb710 with the inbuild speedtest software. The speed only reach 5-6gbps. Is that mean the broadband doesn't running at full speed?

 

[SpawnXp]

lai liao lai liao
so u are getting 5 to 6gbps.
are there any issues with it or you need the extra 4 to 5gbps to feel shiok for your use case ?
or to feel you are getting what you paid for ?
if yes, do get better hardware to see the figure getting close to 10g.
do you feel a difference when using 5 to 6gbps compare to 10g ? does your browser load faster ?
even if give u the full 10g, but how can you be sure the server you are connecting to can output the full 10g to you ?

I believe this is the limitation of the CPU used in HB710 (Qualcomm IPQ5322 or IPQ5332 as per the teardown picture posted in this forum). It cannot handle 10Gbps when using the OOkla Speedtest utility, even though it can handle 10Gbps Internet plan. The real speed from SIMBA may well be higher.

You may need to get a 10G capable network card for your computer if you really want to be able to test the speed. I bought one 10G PCIe network adapter for my desktop, and three 10G TB4/TB3/USB4 network adapters for my Mac Mini M1 and laptops. The lower cost 10G TB4/TB3/USB4 network adapter from Taobao is about S$100 to S$140. Branded ones are much more expensive.

BTW, TP-Link EB810v or Archer BE800 have the faster flagship grade Qualcomm IPQ9570/9574 CPU which should be able to get the more accurate speed.

Another thing: max speed for local ISPs' 10Gbps plan is about 8.2x Gbps, due to the limitations of the XGS-PON technology used.

Interesting. Thanks for your detail explanaing including the devices and cost. it helps a lot!

Technically not wrong in multi user situation, instead of 5 people shared 1gbps, now you have 5 sharing 10gbps but still cap at 1 gbps. Although I doubt most people would even hit the cap of 1gbps even with big household.

can i ask after the 360 days contract, what happen next? will be on a no contract basis or we have to renew for 360 days?

 

[Nakedtoes]

using Archer BE805 and Fenvi 10G NIC PCIE (AQC113 chipset) with Simba 10G plan.
Here is my results. seems like the upload speed is capped or max out at around 7.5Gbps

How's the fenvi network card now? Is it hot.? Now price abt $40+..thinking should I buy to play or not.

Thanks bro.. I found that mine mobo only got 2 x 1 slot.. Hiaz..

Recently, I have just signed up for simba 10gbps, i noticed that it is using CGNAT, but online say that they do offer dynamic IPv4. How can I change that?

Simba does not assign a public IP to the customer which I believe that is your question. It is only CGNAT.

Any wifi7 adaptor to intro?

Wanna check.. Paid on 4th June for 9th June to 8th July simb broadband.. I email to terminated on 21st June.. So next month they wun charge me again right? Knn their CSO said email then before 3rd July. The other CSO said need give 35 days notice.. Wtf.. Why need 35 days..

 

[Nakedtoes]

Wah. Knn those signing simba broadband pls be careful.. Their termination notice is 35 days.. Knn maybe they need to ask many gods for approval.. Nnb. Going to ban this Simba forever.

Saw reply about M1 plan compared to Simba Plan. Not sure which better.

As for SIMBA free installation, does it include full installation (incl. router) and whats the process like?

As for M1 installation, is it free and whats the process like?

As for support/CSO for both, how reliable isit when I need help with service?

Will appreciate any help with this as im newbie
