That's what you get when you live in a concrete box... poor reception. You'll need to think of moving the router to a location that provides best coverage to PC's with minimal number of walls to travel through and/or add a second access point... I have one up and one down.eastcoastdan wrote:We have had SingTel 10MB internet for a week now. Initial impressions is that it is considerably slower than 10MB. However, the biggest problem to date has been the wireless router, which appears to have a range of about 5 meters. Not acceptable. An engineer will be coming to attempt to remedy this.

download speed was equally crap, so I deduce it's not the place but in fact Starhub. I changed to Singtel recently and it's like a breath of fresh air, I actually get the download speeds I'm supposed to get even at 8pm on a week night.
I'm curious, could you put here some numbers? I have just recontracted with starhub so am a bit grounded but for the broadband I can not complain that much.
I have starhub tv with a hubstation hd box. The box freezes and has to be turned off and on at least 3 times a week, it really is the pits. What's
We have this problem initially but after n-time software upgrade it is pretty stable now (rather months then week for a hard restart). But another HD set top box we have loses interlacing somehow every week or so.
+1. With Singtel I have no problems at all. The menu's run fast, the picture is always great. With Starhub, there is so much lag in changing channels using up and down, or by entering the actual number and brining up menu's that it gets quite frustrating!x9200 wrote:JayCee wrote:

Singtel far superior in my experiencex9200 wrote:JayCee wrote:I had starhub for 2 years, firstly living in a brand new fancy condo on the east coast and the download speed I got was, being nice, crap. Moved house to an older condo a few months ago and the

I originally signed up for the maxonline premium which was 12MB back then (it's since gone up to 30MB). The speed was often slow and checking on speedtest.net I was getting 2-3MB tops, this was a various times of the day, during the week and weekends. I think I saw the speed go up to 12MB once in 2 years.
For singtel we're signed up for 15MB and that's generally what we get, give or take a MB or two

I had to take the first HD Hubstation I had back to starhub after less than 6 months because it wasn't recording properly and then started to lose all the shows I was recording from it's memory. Funny thing it, at least for that one the tv guide actually worked fairly quickly rather than the "press button and wait 5 seconds for a response" that I get on the unit I have now. Turning off and on and getting the "please wait, updating" message for the 3rd time of the day gets very annoying after a while, I wonder what it's updating because it never seems to get any better.
