  Hi, I need help wif my 2701HGV-E Mio internet modem.

  This kind wan.... plan is: Singtel Mio Home 6mbps

  

  Ok, my problem, everytime at night when i surf net and game, between the time 6/7pm to late night, my internet always very slow, the rate is half of the speed that i use during the afternoon/morning. And sometimes, the modem wunt respond when i click a link too, it will only repond after 6 to 7 seconds. And i dun feel my internet speed is 6mbps even though they(SingTel) promised me the speed.

  Is there anyway to speed up the internet? Cuz its getting worse.

  Please help me, thanks.

  has got nuttin to do with the modem.
  it's the amount of ppl using the internet at tt period of time
  
  red pipe oso will lag during peak hours even though it says dedicated
  
  and it will neber reach the speed (it's "up to" btw)

  there's nothing u can do except to kill everyone in your estate tts using singnet broadband

   

  u can call singnet for tech support
  but there wun be improvements bcos they are not going to expand the pipe just for u
  probably ask u to sign up the 10mbps

   

  try surfing after 2am
  smooth like baby butt

  So the problem is of the traffic of the internet switchers in my block? Or is it my house's phone line (the person who came to install the Mio told my mother that the phone lines in my house is old and and have lots of extensions so the phone line cannot reach the peak of my modem)

  u said the lag is oni from 6pm to late nite rite?
  the other times ok?
  so it's not ur fone line fault, it's too many users
  so u have to share the bandwidth
  
  even slower if u are using the wireless connection on your notebook
  and even slower if u have a few users in your household using the net at the same time
  
  depending on where the websites are hosted, the loading time may be diff.......

  Hey, slow is better than consistently being cut off. To the point you can't even use the land line, coz it goes thru the same goddamn box.

  In the past while i was still using Singtel, the speed was slow but not as bad as what you said.

  Probably due to the fibre BB network, now those on a slow subscription plan will be affected when alot of users on fibre.

   

  Imaging a group of young people and a group of old people walking on two different lanes, when they have to squeeze up into a single lane...you roughly know what will happen. So same thing here.

  i don't understand your logic. there's 2 kind of broadband for singtel. that is, the conventional phone lines, and fiber-optic.

  these are 2 separate independent systems, and high traffic on one doesn't mean high traffic on the other.

  and fiber is suppose to be much much much faster than normal land line connections.

  those who are on slow subscription plan are still using the normal land lines, and will not be affected when "alot of users on fibre"

  I am using the low end speed, so far so good.

  No lagging...probably most of them already switch to higher speed.

  And it going to get conjested?

  Am I right?

  sometimes when u feel yr connection is slow try using singnet proxy ... it do connect faster
  
  http proxy: proxy.singnet.com.sg
  port: 8080
  
  ff user go to tools > options > Advanced > Network > Manual proxy connection > fill in the above detail .. then restart ff
  
  when using proxy feeling slow ... change to no proxy
  
  if watching video from tudou etc feel slow .. change to auto detect proxy settings for this network ... it will auto detect china proxy and it will help to speed up abit

  A few weeks ago, I am unable to connect to my company servers.

  And I was advised to took out the singtel proxy..and it works.

  Before that, it was slow...very slow....

  Ha! I get a constant 12Mbps on a 10Mbps Mio Plan! SingTel rocks! Except when the router crashes due to thousands of CRC errors.

  I got the picture now...in very layman terms....

   

  2 tunnel, one high mpbs, one low mpbs, the more pple walk, the speed reduce....also cable and fibre works this way too.
