Singnet Or Starhub
-
starhub!!
singnet cannot make it!
keep getting into trouble, MIO just turn the condition from bad to worse

well for those who says singnet doesn't share connections, u are partially right.... more to wrong..
each ADSL line has to go through the telephone exchange which is shared to all users....
so your speed will be for example, 3.5mbps from the line from your house to the telephone exchange..
but then from the exchange onwards, everything will be shared... just like MOL.

those who believes that MOL is blamed for being slow during weekends... u are partially right too.. but also more to wrong.
weekends is the peak days for every country. so when u experience lag during weekends... its their server which is busy to establish connection with u.
for exmaple, u want to access youtube on sunday. as u know, youtube servers are from US(UNITED STATES)-CALIFORNIA-SAN MATEO. their server is busy on weekends cos many people(not only their country) at home nth to do want to watch youtube. to cater all needs, they limit their connection to a certain speed. thats why u experience slow speed -
so my recommendation. sign up for MOL.
so far i dont experience DC from their server. their donwload and upload speed(domestic) promised. easier setup comapred to Singnet.
no much problem connecting. unlike singnet, you have to be authenticated
before connection establish... and i experience many trouble trying to connect their server. -

Taking informations from competing sites is not really getting infomations. I mean who will write bad things about their products in their website.Originally posted by manyu882:well for those who says singnet doesn't share connections, u are partially right.... more to wrong..

If you ask me, I say I think differently. Yes, I agree with you on the part that everything is shared on the interent, dedicated isn't really dedicated.Originally posted by manyu882:well for those who says singnet doesn't share connections, u are partially right.... more to wrong..

However, think it this way. If you are a singnet user, the only bottleneck you may experience is the internet. What do I mean? As you all know, the speed you are getting depends on the ISP (Internet Service Provider) and the server you are connecting to (Websites). Use Singnet plan, 5mbps, for an example.
Think it this way, you are a car (user) and you can travel at a dedicated max speed of 5km/hr. So now you are travelling on a highway (the link between the you & internet), however you can only travel at 2.5km/hr because of the speed limit (Server/internet). But, if you travel on a highway with a speed limit of 5km/hr, you can travel at full speed.
So the only bottleneck you might be experiencing is the speed limiter of the highway. Which means, the amount of bandwidth the servers allow you to use when you are connected to them.
However, for starhub user, it will be a different case. You will be experiencing two bottlenecks instead of one. Why two? Think it this way. Again, you are a car with a speed of 5km/hr. You are now travelling on a highway (the link between you & internet) but this time the highway is not dedicated, so there are many cars (other users) on the highway because of that you can only travel at 2.5km/hr instead of max 5km/hr.
Even if the speed limit of the highway is 5km/hr, you will still travel at 2.5km/hr because of the other cars on the highway slowing you down.
So the two bottlenecks you might experience is whether will there be cars on the highway slowing you down and the speed limit of the highway. Which means, it will depend on whether will there be many starhub users using the net when you are using and how much bandwidth will the server you are connected to allow you to use. -
IT depend on area..Originally posted by elindra:Max Online

singnet will experience speed of what they signed up from their home to the exchange... and after that everything will be shared.. just like starhub.
however, as for starhub, they go through the same line all the way to the internet.
so makes no difference cos in the end everything is shared. -
yeah my area ish singnet no problemsOriginally posted by soulwinner:IT depend on area..
Only time I had problems was during the Taiwan earthquake and even then it was just lag
And this is important to me coz I play WoW -
Nope.Originally posted by manyu882:so my recommendation. sign up for MOL.

In the days of Winpoet and even after (not for long), you do have to be authenticated.
Those who signed up for Singnet after 2005, doesn't need authentication of any form.
Setup the router/modem (comes with manual), enter in username and password and everything is done.
In the Winpoet days, it's indeed hard to setup. You need to set up the modem, then Winpoet, then authenticate, then get to the Net.
Now, plug and play. -
Starhub > Singnet hands down.
Went from Starhub > Singnet > Starhub.
Will never switch to Singnet again. -
this is still authenticating..Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Setup the router/modem (comes with manual), enter in username and password and everything is done.

Juz wait and sign later. See what new promotion they have, don't sign for the sake of signing

This will never end..Singnet-ers say singnet sucks, starhub-ers say starhub sucks

If they ever end, it won't be called competition liao...Originally posted by lpx88:This will never end..Singnet-ers say singnet sucks, starhub-ers say starhub sucks
If it ever end, it would also mean some idiot company has the monopoly to the access and everybody has to sign up with this idiotic company... -
Yea...and this idiotic company better be waaaay better than our current ISPs IMOOriginally posted by dork3d:If they ever end, it won't be called competition liao...
