Hi. I just moved to S'pore recently. i just start with the starhub mobile broadband 7.2MB plan and i'm experiencing slow connection. my download speed, the real download speed while i'm downloading is only 21kbps highest. Is it that slow? or is it only me?
how bout changing it to a fixed broadband instead of a mobile one?
just find that mobile broadband.. er. sarks.
if i do that, wont i be charged on some amount of money rite? coz there's contract. an di just moved to s'pore and i didnt know that mobile broadband is that sarks since its name is broadband and the speed is suppose to be up to 7.2Mb.
starhub internet service is like that one
7.2Mb is the download speed for local data if I am not wrong. Which means, the data you are downloading may be purely overseas and does not exist in Singapore / Local caches.
Try checking your speed out on the speedtest websites eg www.speedtest.net
If its still 21Kbps, give starhub a call/complaint. Complaining is how Singapore works... a nice conversation would simply slip out the other ear. A bit of shouting is helpful to the memory retention of some of the middle managers in these companies.
ok..thx shotgun..will try that..
