Starhub has successfully tested it. When will it arrive?
Anyway, I doubt it will be available for Singnet or PacNet... because it works with cable modems... which Starhub users are using. -
consistent or up to??
-
do we need that sort of speed, in the first place
i might as well, use a T1 line instead -
question is...how much would we be paying for it?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070508-160mbps-downloads-move-closer-for-us-cable-customers.html

Starhub is another smart company.
Did you all know their about their MaxOnline 100Mbps free upgrade? It isn't actually much of a free upgrade. To use it you have to buy that over the top modem which costs more then 500 SGD. The current modems we have only support at most 33Mbps.
Like whats the point =/
I have no choice but to wait for the modem price to drop down. Till then I only have a 100Mbps connection for namesake and actually am just capable of 33Mbps.

Hehe.. No offense but there is no such thing as consistent broadband speed.Originally posted by FireIce:consistent or up to?? Its always dependent on the traffic at that location and time and blah blah blah.. -
Which broadband company does not advertise maximum theoretical speeds?
