I never visually confirmed this myself but I heard that M1 Cable Modem, you need to log in to a website before there is internet connection which I personally would avoid as the login is not something that the router would do for you after a reboot which means a pain for the rest of the home users if there is a need to reboot etc, further complicate matters with home linux based firewalls. Not sure if that new OpenNet would have such log in website to differenciate which provider each device should go to. ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Goh" <[email protected]> To: "LUGS" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 1, 2010 9:02:33 AM GMT +08:00 Beijing / Chongqing / Hong Kong / Urumqi Subject: [Slugnet] Cable broadband providers Hi, I'd like to ask the list's opinion on the various cable broadband providers in Singapore and your experience with them. My existing contract is ending soon, and I'm shopping around currently for the best combination of value/bandwidth/latency. However, I'm limited to cable providers only(no ADSL, no fibre until 2012 :_( ), so my current choices are: 1. Starhub - Home hubbing TV/Broadband/mobile (59.92/mth) - 16Mbps - 24mth contract 2. Pacnet - 8Mbps plan ($59.92/mth) - 24mth contract 3. M1 - 8Mbps plan ($41.60/mth or $36.40/mth) - 6mth contract or 24mth contract I've had experience with Starhub, and I think that while the bandwidth is ok, the latency when watching youtube, etc is pretty bad. Wonder if anyone else has experience they can share about the other two (or maybe even alternative providers I may have missed).
