starhb is sibeh lag in tampines

it wasn't lag last night...
it was completely GONE..
as in, www.singtel.com.sg and almost all other sites could not even be connected..Originally posted by ShutterBug:You know, actually all your laggy problems are caused by other factors.
Following are just some:
>> FREE firewalls and or antivirus software
>> MSN Messenger in the background
>> Norton System Works
>> Norton Internet Security installed on systems with only 128Mb or 256Mb RAM
>> PC infected by adware, spyware, viruses, and or file sharing applications, iTunes and other MP3 sharing or downloading networks
>> Fancy cursor programs and or screensavers, or wallpaper applications like Web Shot
>> FREE online games that does not really Quit after quitting
>> and other memory leaking programs that are either FREE or pirated
>> Windows XP that is NOT updated at all
>> RealPlayer Networks eats up your bandwidth
There. If you don't believe what I say, try reformatting and installing Windows. After reformatting and re-installing Windows, your connection will be blazingly fast - until you start piling on all those stuff.
All the above can be Googled for verification. -
While true, it's not just user problem. ISP and web servers play a part. ISP give you a limited bandwidth, so do web servers.Originally posted by ShutterBug:You know, actually all your laggy problems are caused by other factors.

Seriously I think Singnet is really much more for gaming
If you download alot of stuff, Starhub would be a better choice.
When I'm on Starhub = Lag City and FREQUENT Disconnections
No problems on Singnet unless they are doing some Maintenance
Funny thing is I never have to wait long for technical support if any problems
and they always call me back like 3 - 5 days later asking me if I still have problems. -

Delhi, India, a city that is behind us by a lot technologically, has a 512K broadband connection that is better than Singnet's 1500K connection, among other things.
There are things there which cant be found here.
Dishnet expects 20% of revenues from Wi-Fi
The company, which unveiled its Wi-Fi services in Delhi, expects 2,00,000 Wi-Fi subscribers across India and revenue of Rs 107 crore by March 2006.

NEW DELHI: Dishnet Wireless, unveiled its brand of Wi-Fi services, Dishnet RED Broadband Wi-Fi, in Delhi on Wednesday. According to the company, Dishnet RED Broadband Wi-Fi would enable Internet users across Delhi to access Internet at superior broadband speeds at some of the most popular public locations (Dishnet Red Wi-Fi hot spots) in the city. These hotspot locations include hotels, restaurants, cafes, airports, railway stations, etc.
According to Dishnet Wireless VP VG Suri, at present there are 29 hotspots signed across Delhi of which 11 hotspots are operational. He added that the remaining hotspots would be operational in the next 35 days.
"The company is planning to initially make available the Wi-Fi broadband services in eight cities and subsequently extend this to 38 cities amounting to 6,000 hotspots across the country by the end of March 2006. The company would invest Rs 250 crore on this project," he added.
The company expects 2,00,000 Wi-Fi subscribers by the full roll out of the project and is expecting revenue of Rs 107 crore by March 2006. Wi-Fi is expected to contribute 20 percent of the company's revenue, while Enterprise services and solutions and wireless broadband is expected to contribute 50 percent and 30 percent of the revenue respectively.
Intel is extending its support to Dishnet in identifying hotspots, their bandwidth and other essentials that a wireless network requires and provide an environment to deploy Wi-Fi broadband services, throughout the country. -

Wow. Thanks for sharing that - I thought Dehli was behind us when it comes to technology. Maybe this proves that, in some aspects, they have actually caught up with us... -
Last week I call singnet tech dept (business line/account) and nobody answer (Your call impt to us please wait) until the problem went away. I hung up the phone. Every minute 1.4cents right? waited at least 1/2 hr

Wanted to further edit my post, but since there is already another newer post, I might as well add a new reply.
Is there anyone here living in Sembawang New Town? I ask this because I live around here, and I especially want to hear from Starhub users living in this area. If there isn't, then at least the northern region (Yishun, Sembawang, or Woodlands) may do. I would like to know the quality of your internet connection. -
They are surpassing us already, the industry for IT telecomms is booming over there.Originally posted by eX.A.K.R.: Wow. Thanks for sharing that - I thought Dehli was behind us when it comes to technology. Maybe this proves that, in some aspects, they have actually caught up with us...
You thought Dehli was behind us when it comes to technology? think again.
IF they are lagging they wont take movies like KRRISH. -
starhub issues differ from location to location cos blocks of users share a single cable line.. diff location diff cable line..
anyway either starhub or singnet - there shld be no problems if you connect thru LAN to a router cum modem or a router to a modem then the modem connects to the net.. BUT leave the modem and router on 24/7 dun disconnect it.. unless u dun haf unlimited..
the above also solves the 3rd party software issue for singnet (win poet etc) because thru lan no software is required. most routers can b managed thru internet explorer / safari and most routers/modems have the ability to stay "always on" and "auto reconnect" to your PPPoE or Cable connection..
the new singnet plans that come with the 2wire modem cum router is pretty stable.. so that's a marked improvement from the past i guess.. but still the customer service sux to the core for singnet.. -
From 2pm to 5pm, I have been downloading files with an incredibly slow speed. A download bandwidth speed test from pcpitstop revealed my download speed at 5kb/s!Originally posted by Kawazoe:hmm now im downloading stuff at very slow speed, is anyone experiencing it?
At around 5.30pm, then my speed returned to normal. I think Singnet needs to do some explanation. -

>> Do you think, or CAN you be 100% certain, that PCPITSTOP itself is not tagging your PC after you used their so called "services" in testing your connection speed????
Just think, can something FREE be that good? Why wouldn't they want something much more back in return? Such as tagging you, and forever able to "monitor" your online habits, and as and when send you SPAMs??
Where do you think all those SPAM senders got the email addresses from and how they did it???? -
I have no problems.Originally posted by Erwin_Rommel:From 2pm to 5pm, I have been downloading files with an incredibly slow speed. A download bandwidth speed test from pcpitstop revealed my download speed at 5kb/s!

I think you need to check your computer instead. -
I live in Sembwang and I am using Starhub MOL 6500Kbps. Its quite ok actually. Downloading using bitcomet is about 10 - 30 Kbps overall, thou there are a few time I hit 100 over Kbps(rare). Downloading a 5mb mp3 took about 3 - 5mins, not too sure as I use a downloading manager, 1 - 2 mins. Large files (maple story full installation - 400mb) took about 2hrs, using dl manager about 30 - 40mins. Playing online games or steaming movies are quite smooth overall.Originally posted by eX.A.K.R.:Wanted to further edit my post, but since there is already another newer post, I might as well add a new reply.

Thats what I experienced.
