Foxshade, what is your plan?
I remember they cap intl speed to 25mbps dl/ul.
The plan that I subscribe 50mpbs only.

I'm on 100mbps plan.

25mbps is SGP backbone to outside the country.

This means any connection to servers outside SGP, the max (under ideal condition) is 25 mbps.
 


Nice!

When running the test, can you run netstat command to find out which server you are connecting to for the speed test.

Mine is 202.150.221.170. It belongs to new media express.

addendum:
Tracert result:
3 * * * Request timed out.
4 11 ms 22 ms 8 ms 242.246.65.202.unknown.m1.com.sg [202.65.246.242

6 10 ms 8 ms 8 ms 50.246.65.202.unknown.m1.com.sg [202.65.246.50]

7 10 ms 8 ms 8 ms cr1.1net.ne.com.sg [218.100.70.22] = SINGAPORE INTERNET EXCHANGE LIMITED
8 11 ms 8 ms 9 ms 203-174-80-209.rev.ne.com.sg [203.174.80.209] = New Media Express
9 8 ms 10 ms 8 ms 202-150-221-170.rev.ne.com.sg [202.150.221.170] = New Media Express

So it went from M1, SGIX, reached New Media Express' speed test server. It did not went through the 25mbps bottleneck.

just got my M1 fibre optic broadband activated and installed, seems to work well and is really fast!

however i've run into a problem where some sites that used to work properly are not loading nicely, and some have stopped loading when i use the M1 fibre optic broadband.

anyone face the same issue?

one of my blogspot page no longer works, but another one works fine, my UK internet banking website doesnt work anymore, and some google searches, when clicked leads to pages that cannot be loaded, and images of many eBay auctions are not loading....

i've verified that the webpages are still working fine by loading them on my iphone....i've tried using my win XP, win 7 and win vista (2 netbooks n 1 lappie), and all 3 show the same problem....

gave a call to M1 and will wait for their fibre optic "experts" to give me a call tomorrow when i am at home in the evening....

I don't understand how they plan the fibre network roll-out.

In my area, all my neighboring blocks are already wired except mine. Why didn't they wired my block too ? And to make it worse, mine is schedule to mid 2012 while all the blocks surrounding mine are already wired up now. :dunno:

I wrote to them but yet to receive an answer from them. :thumbsd:

For home use, the current M1 25 mbps package is more than sufficient and well priced. ST and SH must come up with better packages or risk losing all their home customers to M1.

:confused::confused:

ST already lost me as a long time customer haha
 

good stuff are in oversea, so what's the point if connection still cannot make it.

That's examples of why it's no use to have such incredible speeds. As long as your destination end bottlenecks your connection speed, everything is going down to the drain, including your monthly charges.

well... if your speed is too low... it will make it worst.

Look at my SNBB 10mbps ($79 with laptop promo, $45 for standalone plan) vs M1 Fiber Optic 25mbps ($39 per mth)

I think SNBB ADSL capped their upload speed way too ridiculously and i am actually paying more for a slower speed.

anyway i agree with u no point getting 100mbps plan when a 25mbps is sufficient enough for home use.
 

Bro, to me, 4.48Mb/s and 5.72 Mb/s is not much difference. At least one will not be able to notice the difference in speed, because they are just as slow!

Unless 2 things, either SNBB increase my current BB plan until I cannot accept it (which I don't think this will be the case), or the fibre link's monthly charges drop to a price that is much lower than my current 6mbps pricing, I'm staying put.

One of the reason is that I still love my 3COM ADSL modem to bits. Very stable, and allows me all the control I need. Current modems are just CMI.
