3-Day Online Exclusive: FREE 6-Month Broadband Subscription

I already registered this n just received call from telemarketing but IT show is around the corner
even if there is better promo or sign with other telco, I dun feel like queuing at IT show. seems every time always very long queue and slow

Managed to convince them to defer my decision for few more days
Read few bad feedback n review of starhub fibre compared to other company fibre

5ghz the range so short. Very disappointed.

how "short" is the range?

Actually it's not a bad thing.
You will not get much 5ghz interference from your neighbour. This addresses one of the 2.4ghz issue - network congestion.

To allow the signal to to reach your devices despite of short range, Beamforming is the way to go.

Wonder why my Note 3 wireless on 2.4Mhz only 50 to 60 mbps. Then on 5Ghz get abt 100.

Then power plug LAN get 22mhz...puzzled.

You are lucky as I can only get 8 mbps on my iphone 4S on 2.4Mhz.

On 100Mbps plan.
iPhone 4 can hit 30Mbps.
iPhone 5s and iPad air hit full speed.

Setup as 20mhz channel for 2.4mhz band

compare my s/h line vs my neighbout next door m1 line, his speed more stable n consistent... especially after 6pm...

not only 'short' need sight of sight.

for 5ghz, a wall in between may cause the signal to drop by 50%

Hi guys! I just upgraded from 16mb cable to the 200mb fibre plan which sh stated will be provided new router. May i know what router isit from past experience?

I most probably use home plug as the terminal point is way out in the living room and my laptop and pc are in the room, any experience from bros how the speed fare? Using the Aztech 500mbs homeplug.

And the twitch issue, currently my cable cant even load twitch, will fibre be better or is see heng suay?

TIA!

Wah after reading most of the post here,sian liao

 

[kenplus]

ask a newbie question,can i place the termination box inside the room?

If your premise is structured data cabling ready, we recommend that the Termination Point be installed in the utility closet or a location that meets the following requirements:

• Has access to electrical point

• Structured cabling RJ45 (min Cat 5 cabling) connects the utility closet or selected location to other parts of the residence such as the living room, study room and bedroom.

• Has access to Termination Box after installation

data cabling ready,does it mean the cable broadband and tv box??


Thanks in advance
