MaxOnline Express Subscribers To Get A Higher Download Speed at No Additional Cost
Subscribers will soon be able to enjoy always-on, unlimited broadband access to the Internet at up to 8Mbps
Singapore, 16 November 2007 –StarHub today announced that from 1 January 2008, customers on the MaxOnline Express subscription plan will be able to connect to the Internet at a higher download speed of up to 8Mbps. Currently, this plan provides a broadband speed of up to 6Mbps for downloading.
The speed boost will come at no additional charge to MaxOnline Express customers. MaxOnline Express is priced at S$56 (S$59.92 with GST) monthly.
To benefit from this upcoming enhancement, MaxOnline Express customers need to simply reset the cable modem by turning the electrical power source off and on from the effective date to enjoy the improved online experience instantly.
StarHub's MaxOnline range of post-paid broadband plans are packaged to meet the different bandwidth requirements of residential users who surf the Internet regularly. For occasional or light Internet users, StarHub also offers two MaxOnline pre-paid services. As at 30 September 2007, there are 338,000 households on the MaxOnline service.
More exciting MaxOnline offers for new sign-ups and recontracts can be expected at Sitex 2007. Visit StarHub's booth at 6D01 (Hall 6) from 29 November to 2 December 2007 to find out more!

Damn, no upgrade for the other 2 plans, think I am going to downgrade my plan from 12Mbps to 8Mbps this month end. Seems not worth to pay an extra $20 plus for the extra 4Mbps speed. -
i dun want the free upgrade speed lah
not much diff anyway
i want them discount the monthly subscription rate -
no difference one...
btw im using the old white motorola modem(SCV time issue one).. wonder can it be used for the 8mbps plan.. -
Haha... I agree.
They can call it 6Mpbs, or 8Mbps, or 40Mbps.
But the actual speed you get is about 512K, if you are lucky. -
Connection speed still the same. Worst during weekends especially if there are EPL matches shown live.
-
the ''up to**'' still exists.
. they'r jus raising the up to'' to another up to '' lmao.s -
Bullshit, up till now i have never reached downlod speeds of more than 1mbps...

I'm using MOL Express. Last nite my highest d/l speed is 768 kbps. A record for my pc.
-

use bit torrent with wireless... 1 - 3kb...
-
Haha ... A good time to downgrade now

damn lame la... up speed liao still cap international port 80 speed to 15kbps. like no up like this.. -
you have a firewall that prevents you to download fast la. or something else la.Originally posted by digicharat:i only reached 500+ before. but only in bit torrent. but must disconnect the wireless.

I am using wireless and my download speed is 600kb+ up to 700kb/s using bittorrent. If dont use bittorrent, can be even faster. Currently using 6Mbps. Really no point to upgrade to maxonline ultimate since it is just "can go up to". -
seriously, is there even a difference?
when maxonline express was introduced, the name was MaxOnline 1500 at 1.5 Mbps....then they upgrade to 2 Mbps, then 4, now 6, next year 8...
actually, from 1.5 Mbps to 6 Mpbs like totally no difference......even my company's 100 Mbps no one surfing (only me in the early morning), the download / upload difference also not that great.....at 100 Mbps, you would thought it's blazing, but only like 20% faster than normal 6 Mpbs....not worth the extra money every month.
i really hope that hong kong company can introduce their 100 Gpbs Fibre-To-The-Home (FTTH) broadband to Singapore to wake up Singtel and Starhub, but from what i know, that will happen only after 2009. -
haha...starhub trying to sell 50cent for a dollar.
-
In layman's terms, the tap is bigger at home, but the mains remain the same size.
-
I've downloaded at 1++mBps before....lasted 30secs....then the router crashed
-
My Singnet better.
-
what to do? suck thumb lor...i planning to terminate once the contract expires.* And get M1 online. wireless network everywhere i go! woot!
