Users will simply have to switch off their modems and switch on again to experience the new speeds.

Woah, I wonder if SingNet will do some actions too.

Last time they did something in reaction to Starhub.

I don't think so. Best they can do is increase up to 25Mbps, max for ADSL IIRC.

But, a speed boost would be nice :P Many times I kena limit of 1.3MB/s download speed. Sucks to know you just reached the limit of your internet connection.

considering that the modem and routers I'm using are Ancient (2005) by today's standards - the early Linksys G routers and Starhub Modems.

I'm very happy with my speed.

Opennet doesn't need to beat a thing. They will tell you those speeds above are what you get on a really lousy day, for upstream.

my modem, i think, is even older. i started on MaxOnline since the 1.5Mbps era...using a Motorola SB5100 cable modem. what's ur model of your modem? however, i'm using a Linksys Draft-N router, but my current laptop is connected via LAN cable..
