The telco said its engineers are still investigating the cause of the issue, which affected customers in the central and eastern parts of Singapore.
This included Tampines, Pasir Ris, Sengkang, Punggol, Bedok, Kallang, Mountbatten and Tiong Bahru, according to comments on Singtel's Facebook posts.
Must be infrastructure hitting its limits. East side I am facing a WAN IP change almost every 4 days for a few months. Very disrupting.With the respective ISPs all taking turns to be down, it starts to make more sense for a multi-WAN setup during this WFH period.
I guess it boils down to need. If you need it, you'll get it.Must be infrastructure hitting its limits. East side I am facing a WAN IP change almost every 4 days for a few months. Very disrupting.
But for home users, how many would have multi WAN just for redundency?

i think this could be due to the perception among the general public that singtel is more stable than m1 broadband.. leading many to sign up with singtel instead of m1 when more are getting fibre broadband due to wfh or hbl, causing singtel overcapacity?Interesting. That seems to indicate IPv4 address related thingy. Miloaisdino has similar reports as you. Previously his IPv4 address was stable but then started to change often.
I am living in Jurong West Area and I have got my IPv4 address stable for many months. In fact it never really change as long as I do not swap my router. I am using ONT. I run Pi-hole on the cloud and I will monitor my public IP from time to time as I need to set up the firewall rules correctly for Google Cloud.
I've realised the perception comes from bad routing policies to compensate, so there is less chance of a perceived downtime. Just throwing packets all over is sufficient to ensure it doesn't bottleneck, even if it leads to horrible pings and inefficient routes at the expense of the customer.i think this could be due to the perception among the general public that singtel is more stable than m1 broadband.. leading many to sign up with singtel instead of m1 when more are getting fibre broadband due to wfh or hbl, causing singtel overcapacity?
Inefficient routing would not cause a service to appear more stable. You can have an efficient default route, and fail over to a less efficient one in the event of a problem. Some users may notice degraded performance during whatever problem was occurring but many wouldn't, and degraded performance is better than an outage.I've realised the perception comes from bad routing policies to compensate, so there is less chance of a perceived downtime.

This time though, it really came to haunt them since they couldn't paper over the cracks before it all collapsed.
Still, it affected my parents enough for my sis to agree to switch out after the contract - she was still holding out because it's convenient to have everything in one bill. But with complaining parents about downtime for internet, and it going down during a video call, it's enough to cast doubts on Singtel's service.

I had multi wan for almost a decade liao. Have seen both of my isps go down at one point or another but luckily haven't seen both go down simultaneously. Just remember that if both are on fibre it's still subject to disruption by cable cuts by some contractor doing piling or digging.Must be infrastructure hitting its limits.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Sngtel is down again.
singtel.com not resolvable.
First Ah Keong forgot to close server room door - 5.25am outage.
Now Ah Keong forgot to pay domain renewal?
the latency is so weird.. like square-wave form...
Which area? No issues here in Jurong West area. You may need to reboot your ONT/ONR/Router and try again.Currently my fiber is not working
