I've been on SH for almost 5 years already, after 2 am suddenly everything is blazing fast again.
Singnet it loads immediately.
I've got 2 connections in my house 10mb ST and 12mb SH in the past (changed to M1 - another atrocious provider but thats another story)
I can definitely say you are not correct in your generalizations. I have no problem surfing with Starhub anytime of the day. I had one problem in my past rented apartment (that's about 5-6 years ago) but turns out it's the quality of cabling on that old apartment (the cable point that I used - stupidly - was that old coaxial output rather than the new screwed on type). Once I paid about 50 bucks or so to replace the cable points - whoosh! Again no matter what time of the day. The last 3 years I lived in a big estate which has 10 towers in one complex and still no problem. Maybe I just damn lucky.
And before you say anything about comparison with Singnet - I also have the 10mbps. The Starhub is my own while the Singnet is company paid - as my work sometimes gets me to work heavily in American time internet conferencing etc.
I don't see much difference between the two when I had the Max Premium vs that Singnet (I think that time both are lower bandwith, but anyway - fair comparison). I'm talking about using it for data-heavy VPN (file transfer, collaborative works on webmeeting room etc). Both were inadequate.
Now I use Ultimate and I can tell you it blows away any type of connection Singnet has. Problem is the upper speed limit of ADSL is much lower than cable. I know what people say about the same layer of connection to abroad etc, but I can swear by the fact that using the Ultimate really makes a lot of difference in terms of quality and speed of connection through my VPN. Now my daughter used the company-supplied connection and I stick with my MO Ultimate...
