Singnet Woes - You are not alone...

I am not quoting the ever beloved Michael Jackson's song title but merely mean that if you are having a real hard time with lousy intermittent internet broadband connections coupled up with sucky 3rd world country customer service then welcome to the world of SINGNET Sufferholics Anonymous.

Check out these poor folks who fell for the facade as well...my heart goes out to all of them! Cos I am in the SAME FREAKIN BOAT! The one called SINGNET 10 - 15mbps (But actually only 3 - 5mbps) Unlimited! If you are not familiar with the above, just think TITANIC.

I could go on and on and on like the song that never ends but I don't think I need to!

I used to be a STARHUB CUSTOMER and I was very happy with Starhub. I had never experienced disconnections in 3 years and I will vow to that!

That's why I am so so so unused to the experience I had the misfortune of having with SINGNET!

And it's so true, their customer services SUCKS!!!!! " I'll call you right back!"

Yeah...right, WHATEVER!

I thought this kind of situation is ok in Timbucktoo but here? In Super Economy SINGAPORE?

After the HOOLA BALOO I had to rake up to get a real technician down to come check on the phone line, so far for 12 hours or so my broadband has not disconnected.

Well, I'll keep you guys and gals updated on my SINGNET (X)perience!

If you don't have an internet broadband plan with you yet and you are thinking of signing up for one, if you'd ask me...given a choice to start afresh, I'd never ever sign up with Singnet after the sleepless nights and frustration. My answer to you will always be STARHUB.

And you don't need the MIO TV crap, it's expensive and it's also available free online PROVIDED YOU CAN STAY ONLINE! I watch online TV almost everyday and the difference is very glaring between STARHUB and SINGTEL.

My SINGTEL broadband is working FOR NOW. So when I watch my online TV, I noticed that it's VERY BLURRY even though the source is shown in HD. (KBS HD, Am a sucker for Korean Dramas) When I was watching with STARHUB, I did'nt know what GOOD and FAST meant until I Xperienced the SHITTY SIDE, ie. SINGNET.

With STARHUB, the shows are really crystal clear and really HD. The loading speed is incredible compared to SINGNET. And I am signed up for 2 dreadful evil years of the 15mbps unlimited subscription of unreliable hell....ARGGGHHHH WHY DID I EVER DO WHAT I DID!!!

STARHUB is not completely perfect as well, speeds can slow down at times when there are lots of users.

BUT LAGGING or WAITING is SOOOO MUCH BETTER THAN BEING DISCONNECTED!
