      Hi all,

       

      Currently I'm using Singnet broadband and my plan is going to end. I can either choose to renew or sign other service provider such as MaxOnline. Which one should I go for?

      Advantages and disadvantages?

      I'm not looking for very high end connection as I don't game much. Currently I'm using 3mbps.

       

      What does the plans comes with (router, freebies etc)? I'm already using 2Wire router which comes with my previous plan.

      really. i think starhub is better in terms of the speed. lowest plan has 8mbps speed and costs $59.92 per month.

      depending on location. If you live in a place which is full of hubbers, dont expect fast speeds

      this is a slow reply!!

      Just use the internet cable and connect it via your router. (It would be faster).

      Hmm, currently I'm paying $50+/mth cos I signed it 3 years back when 1mbps was the fastest. Then Singnet upgrade for us for free to 3mbps. But I heard from my cousin that he just upgraded from the plan which is same as mine to 8mbps at only $30+/mth.
