have you added any firewall (software/hardware)? i learnt from my colleague that this is usually the number one culprit if all else is constant from ISP.
thanks for sharing.
ah, i remember i once had router problem as well. its so bad i had zero transfer rate on an ad hoc basis. call help line and located a faulty router. from then on, i connected direct from modem.
after sometime, equipment degrade. and not all hardwares built for 24x7. good to switch it off when not in use. anyway, router is quite cheap. around $60 can get a decent one out there. all those transfer rates are not impt as your cable wont reach those bandwidth to begin with.
lag lag lag lag lag.
yeah with router it's slower... but it's not supposed to be THIS slow when accessing overseas websites.
speedtest runs me 2000 on direct connection, 1600 on router.
but it's really a huge difference from the 9000 on router i used to get.
damn it.
Yeah, I also suspect there is something wrong with Starhubs broadband, since a few weeks ago, I noticed sending pics to Photobucket or eBay takea looooong time to upload.....first I thought it was because I was doing it at night (around midnight) and perhaps there were others in my flat doing games or downloading. But then during the day (not weekend) uploading also is lagging what it used to be normal.....
Will give Starhub a call soon

Yeah, but it wasn't as bad as now a few months ago, the last time I uploaded to Photobucket and eBay, so there is something wrong with either my router/modem or StarhubPhotobucket has been a royal pain in the @$$ for me on Starhub too. On Singtel or Pacific it works in a snap though.
Reported bandwidth isn't too shabby, but the lookup and resolution times are awful!
Yeah, I tried to message them, and I get this message that I should first check if my router got problems. The fact that they put an automated message means many other people got the SAME problem, so I wrote them back whether they really think many people in Singapore suddenly have the same router problems? What is the chance of many people having the same problems with their router around the same period (the past few weeks)?????

Can ask him to write down for us what and how to check? If not too much work from him to do it?I have problems with Starhub about 1-2 weeks back. At 1st, I tot it was Starhub's prob as everything seem fine, modem, router etc all working perfectly but the problem persist.
I tot of calling Starhub to complain, hesitated cos of the long waiting time. So I asked my bro for help since he is an IT person and he managed to solved the prob. Its the router. He said dunno what url or ip got stuck. Anyway, this the best I can describe cos I no It guy and dun quite understand what my bro said as well.
Maybe u should look into your router again. Good luck!

Just disconnected the router, and directly connect my iMac G5 onto the modem, still very slow now (01:12 AM) and uploading pics to eBay also very slow. I gave these two sites as examples as they have many images to load in the page. Sometimes, mail yahoo also slow.....
I am not aware of firewalls on my imac (not sure if Mac has this)
