Today, now waiting for Starhub. Told me 6pm but somehow I'm able to use now.
I use rmerlin fw, now there's a CTF under NAT accelerator. Hope later can get at least 900mbps :)

What talking you? Waiting for Starhub but now able to use?
Ehhhh.. U upgrading to 1GB speed is it??

Do a direct ONT Connection to yr pc and test the speed.. Dont go thru any router first..

If speed show 900/900.. and after u connect to yr router it drop..
means router need to check out.

GOOD LUCK and HOPE U GET THE SPEED!

StarHub will activate it earlier so that you can use it once they installed. Don't have to wait for activation.

I hope the Fibre TV which I'm also taking up won't use up much bandwidth.

No Leh.. They have to change the ONT.. The Speed is tie to the ONT.. So if u still using the OLD ONT it will still be on the old plan.

No le. That's not what the sale person told me. We are still able to use the 1Gbps speed from the old (white) ONT but we have to use cable modem for the voice if we have it. If not by changing to the new VeONT, it is to include the voice home through the ONT.

not required if you could still use your cable modem as voice.

Piece of advise - force them to change to Voice-ONT. The motorola cable modem despite configuring it on standby drains electricity like water.

How i know? After switching from

Cable(Voice) + Fibre(Internet) to Voice-ONT - my power bill drop drastically.

And that is the only thing that have changed.

Haha I haven't been turning off my cable modem since god knows when! They will change to the new VeONT when they are here on Thursday. I hope it won't affect bthe bandwidth by much.

My digital voice was on Cable modem.
They still provide the Voice ONT..
Call the CSO to switch my digital voice line to the new voice ONT.
Motorola Cable Modem throw away in the dustbin.

Nice speed there bro Soccer Ball. Hopefully StarHub will maintain the speed consistently and don't become another MR.

I wonder if they will terminate our free mobile broadband once we re-contract to 1 Gbps plan.

1Gbps Fibre broadband doesn't come with free mobile broadband only HomeHub 1000 comes with it. Call them to check safer.
