This is quite far from reality 😂 all things considered, price, customer service, public IPv4, Ipv6 availability and reliability

From my understanding, Seedly is a website mostly about money, i.e. how to earn, save, spend, invest etc. Therefore, regarding broadband purchase, the users at Seedly, like me, focus mostly on price or value-for-money. The users there are most likely not power users, they're just regular folks.

I'm a software engineer and I still do not see a need for IPv4, IPv6, ONT etc.

You probably do not take your work home then, or have to test stuff from home.

I take home my company laptop, I don't have a personal laptop. At home:

- the company vpn works
- the tunneling works
- the company git repository is accessible
- DNS to company private servers all works
- Oracle rdbms is accessible
- code/build/run/debug all works

For the past 12 years, I work at 3 companies and access my company networks behind firewall using various means as stipulated by the companies. All works.

During these times, I'm on either Singtel or Whizcomms broadband.

Come 7pm later today marks the 6th day without usable internet service. It’s not unstable connection, it’s literally unusable 0.1mbps d/l and u/l speed straight for 6 days. And of course still no response from SIMBA despite sending multiple emails, fb and ig messages, I even comment on their ad post every time I see it and nope they just ignore

If you do not mind using an ONR, then you can go with Whzicomms 2.5Gbps, same price at S$21.80 per month, 12 months contract.

SIMBA 2.5Gbps vs Whizcomms 2.5Gbps plan

Thanks! But then Whizcomms is aggretated 2.5Gbps... then my Asus router can only use as Wifi AP...
Is there a way to achieve more than 1Gbps? Say use a router or switch that has aggregated ports? Suppose that's not easy plug and play right? I won't be able to set it up myself...

94 hours now.

2 yrs actually not too bad. SIMBA already 12 months contract with no hotline to call, support email reply once a day, provide 0 technical support and literally dont give a damn about you and worst you have to pay 6 months subscription in advance. unless you really need that 2.5gbps, otherwise currently in the market only Starhub is offering fees wavier on installation/activation with 1gbps at $39/month only. i am seriously considering that if they allow me to self collect and self install so that i can have access to internet asap.
too bad whizzcomm wont waive the fees, otherwise would have gone for that too.

GG... Actually if I subscribe to Simba and Whizcomms, both fees add up still cheaper than my current Myrepublic price. Unless I sign another 24mths to lower the fees... that time i sign up their so called gamer plan, not much diff from Starhub normal plan... then after, they got bought over by Starhub ... 😞

don't know about Whizzcomm, but seriously do not sign up SIMBA. not just about the internet, their customer service support basically is zero. come tomorrow will be 8th day without usable internet and they still don't reply, refuse to call me on my phone to talk, refuse to send technician down. even if it is to pretend to check or replace another ONT or at least do something also don't want.

btw anyone else affected ah? besides me and xuexunn ..

Interesting links.

Looks like Singtel networks have more attacks.
https://radar.cloudflare.com/security-and-attacks/as9506?dateRange=7d
https://radar.cloudflare.com/security-and-attacks/as3758?dateRange=7d

Starhub has less attacks than Singtel.
https://radar.cloudflare.com/security-and-attacks/as55430?dateRange=7d
https://radar.cloudflare.com/security-and-attacks/as4657?dateRange=7d

M1 has even less.
https://radar.cloudflare.com/security-and-attacks/as4773?dateRange=7d

VQ does not have much attacks either.
https://radar.cloudflare.com/security-and-attacks/as18106?dateRange=7d

MR has a bit more attacks than VQ.
https://radar.cloudflare.com/security-and-attacks/as56300?dateRange=7d

WC does not see to have much attacks either.
https://radar.cloudflare.com/security-and-attacks/as135600?dateRange=7d

SIMBA does not really have too much attacks in reality if compared to other ISPs.

Yup that. Isit uncoiled or u have another one to test before?

Cos if the cable is bent beyond its allowed radius, ot spoils the signal
