Ido not quite understand this.

The ONT is a Ve-ONT. Whether you like it or not it is still required to be there for your fibre connection whether you subscribed to voice or not

May be he has it own ont already lol.. Hehe.

OK. Decided and have subscribed to the StarHub Dual Broadband 500 package of $49.90.

There is only one router provided for the Fibre point now. No more 2nd router for the 100mbps Cable point.

So, I'm purchasing an additional router to be installed in my room for the 100mbps Cable point which will be solely used for wired connection to all my staffs in my room.

The rest of the family members will be using the Fibre 500mbps wifi connection.

Settled and happy!

actually you should be using wired for the fibre n cable for the wifi.
phones n pads maximum wifi also cannot hit above 100mbps

I know. Too bad, can't wire up every rooms bah. The only wired connection for the Fibre is in the living room.

alot of devices (including pads and phones) in the market could hit above 100Mbps on WIFI..

That's why I have no choice but to get that package. At least, I can use wired connection from the 100mbps Cable broadband. That, I can get full 100mbos on my pc and smart tv and Android TV box in my room..

still do not understand why there isn't any choice.

Like i said, wireless could easily hit 100Mbps or higher.

Instead of having redundancy, i do not see how this dual connection benefit consumers.

Got my 500mbps + 100mbps installed last night.

Fibre 500mbps 5ghz installed in my living hall produces 300mbps+ of speed on iPhone 6 and my laptop/pc. 260mbps+ on my LG G Pro 2.

For the Cable 100mbps 5hgz installed in my room. Well, it is limited to 100mbps as per status quote.

Awesome super charged wireless and wired connection speed at home now for $49.90 per month!

Single and multitasking by selecting different 500mbps and 100mbps based on one's needs and locations makes every heavy usage members of my family happy at home now!

Happy!

I understand. With Cable BB you can get stable connection and you do not need to upgrade old mobile device that has poor wifi performance.

Grats on falling into Starhub marketing gimmick.

Come on la!

Don't say such thing before you understand how big is my house, or rather what's the layout of my house. How far my room is from the main living hall where the main fibre 500mbps router is. How many heavy usage members of family I have. What I do at home. What is the constraint of doing cabling of my house and etc.

The combined 500mbps and 100mbps is the best connection and best value for money setup for me bah.

It may seen to be a gimmick to majority of people here but not to me based on my situation and that I do not live in a HDB flat

Agree with you. Starhub probably came up with this plan to target this niche market for people like kelvinti, having cabling constraints and big house. It doesn't cost Starhub a cent to package cable connection together with fibre since they own the cable infrastructure.

if you have said - you need it for redundancy purposes, i will have no choice but to eat my words.

House size is not a factor - with the same amount of equipment, you are able to set up the same with less.

Next, there is something called QoS in the market for ages in most routers. I don't see what kind of heavy usage could do for you that requires 2 x ISP network which your router could not prioritize accordingly.

I would rather spend lesser $ getting a 1Gbps connection. which has almost twice the bandwidth.


Still, as long you are happy.

That Gribber is just full of ****. Only he is daft enough to think that consumers will sign up for a useless plan.

House layout and size is a definite consideration. Most homes already have cable points installed, so its easy to hook up all around the house. Another issue is the stability of their fibre network which starhub themselves know is piss poor. Some users need the internet for work purpose, so when their fibre network screws up, they can fall back on their cable connection. Such users typically have 2 fibre lines (some even pay for corporate lines), so this plan is a cheap alternative.

Full of spot-on analysis! Hehe!

Anyway, I'm using a free app to auto switch in between the 2 WiFi when I roam around the house to obtain the strongest wifi signal on my phones and laptop.

It just works perfectly. No need to manual switch. That, it truly worths the $49.90 I pay per month.

 

[Gribber]

there is a reason for this

This message is hidden because luckyguitar is on your ignore list.


I hate to say, i am no where daft. Instead, i know my stuff unlike you. Clearly you do not hence you are willing to feed your hard-earned $ to Starhub.


Clearly, i can tell the forums are filled with daft people thinking that they are smart when in fact, there are ways to do things without spending more.

Go ahead and sink further believing that what you think is right.


I am out of this meaningless topic.
