StarHub MaxInfinity Fiber Optic - Experience

[Twilight]

StarHub now give free Asus Memo Pad 7 for 1Gbps Fibre Broadband?! Saw it on hwz ad banner but the link is invalid.

*The link is valid now.

Miss that promo. WTF.. Signed already promo come out..

Let's say comparing between the hub club 1Gbps package (88.80/mth) and the current 1Gbps package at 49.90, which is better? assuming my mobile line is not with starhub.

If your mobile line is not with StarHub, then you better get the individual 1Gbps Fibre Broadband unless you have plans to change to your mobile to StarHub. For me, I have mobile, TV and Fibre services with them but I still choose to take up all individual plans instead of HomeHub. (That will still make me a hub club memebr with more discount)

Taking up individual plans will be cheaper monthly and your individual services can still get further discount (due to hub club benefits). Fibre will have 5% off, TV 10% off and mobile from 10-30% off depending on the number of lines you subscribed to. If you get the HomeHub, you won't have additional discount like what I have breakdown unless you need that measly 1GB mobile broadband and TV voucher to offset TV pack monthly (still I won't recommend).

One thing to note, for both solutions, you still need to add in $6.42 monthly for the TV set-top box rental.

Yeah that's very irritating. I posted on their facebook to see if I can still get it since my installation will only commence tonight.

I prefer they will give me $100 voucher to offset for purchase a new router.

They would rather give you the ASUS MeMo Pad 7 than to give you a voucher

If you have the budget go for AC3200 and it will last you for a long time.

Boss your upload are on a low side. I'm on wireless using my iPad Air 2, I am able to reach 300+ Mbps for my upload. Your download speed from your router is slightly low too. Did you turn on NAT accelerator?

You might want to check the configurations on your Asus RT-AC3200 and you might also want to look into NAT accelerator and QOS.
