If you get your own router, you can connect up to 40 PCs with a standard wireless SOHO type router, as discussed in another thread. My wireless router allows up to 4 wired connections and 40 wireless although I will never use that many, ever.
When Singnet says up to 300Mbps, you have to read the small print. That speed probably is for your connection to Singnet, not the speed of your connection to the internet. And if you call to ask them about it, they'll tell you "UP TO", which means you'll always get less.
As for the modem given by Singnet, its old technology because Singnet does not use newer technology yet. They are still using ADSL instead of ADSL2 etc. As long as you're using Singnet, their issued modem will suffice.
As for which is better, you have to decide for yourself.
