My company's broadband is a 2Mbps fixed IP service with M1 Connect (original contract with Qala) which costs $277 per month. Currently SingNet has promotion for 10Mbps dynamic IP broadband which cost only $198 per month. Since we had given-up the idea of hosting web server in-house, there is no need to have Fixed IP broadband anymore. I checked with SingNet sales but was advised that the 10Mbps dynamic IP broadband can only serve up to 10 concurrent users and if exceeded, the Internet access may have problems. We do have 18 office users but not all are accessing Internet all the time and we also have a Computer Lab which has 12 PCs but hardly used by anyone nowadays. I used http://www.bandwidthplace.com/ to test our Fixed IP Internet speed which shows download speed range from 0.843Mbps to 1.016Mbps and upload speed from 81Kbps to 226Kbps. This morning I went to another company which is using Singnet 4Mbps dynamic IP broadband and test the speed and was surprised to find the download speed was 4.648Mbps and upload speed was 513Kbps! Can anyone comment or share some experience on Fixed IP and dynamic IP broadband? The main applications we are running include a School Management System hosted at M1 IDC, email, Googling and general web surfing.
