MaxOnline Subcribers take note!

[mutant_sheep]

use this starhub utility to "troubleshoot" ur maxOnline connection speed.

Starhub speed test

 

personally i found that MaxOnline is OK for me. Im using MaxOnline6500, my average download speed is satisfy for me. for FTP & HTTP download i can reach 700+ KB/s, my BT ever hit 400+ KB/s.

to me, download from HTTP & FTP depend on what speed the "opponent" server give u. hope help.

MaxOnline Ultimate:* at least 21Mpbs

MaxOnline 6500: at least 4.2Mbps

MaxOnline 4000: at least 2.8Mbps

 

-------------------------------

 

Average Transfer Rate: 5.35 Mbps

 

?? seems like over the "at least".. but personally it's still slow.. eg i go webbie.. surf web.. the loading can kill.. nrml webs like neopets, forums.. of cus sometimes oso depends on the server loads on the web..

You can use this website to test you speed and latency

haha i using singnet 10MBps. i hit 1megabyte per second on bittorrent before but they are the rare case where seeders > downloaders at a rate of 2 to 3 times ah haha. but on average for my bt is from 10kbs to 500kbs depend on torrents ba?

 

anyway off topic.

rias hitting on bittorrent yet?

[ah786786]

if not wrong bittorent,uses multiple connections to dl,thats is why some sites dun allow this type of prog. thus it uses single connection,so its slower bah....

[rAjOaNa]

i m using 6500 normally d/l something off frm some webby ....can do abt 100+ to 800kb on average abt 300+ is common la..

 

but other d/l u know wat are normally below on 10kb. so i guess it all depends on our d/ling source speed its not jus our maxonline speed but i feel sometimes its slow itself too.

After recontracting and upgrading my MOL from 4000 to 6500, I am getting my downloads even faster!

 

Under MOL4000: Highest rate 490KB/s, Average rate 30-150KB/s

Under MOL6500: Highest rate 790KB/s, Average rate *300KB/s

 

*This is my first download using MOL6500, will test out more to determine average speed.

[mitosis]

Starhub is a pos, but i hear from my friends that singnet is a bigger pos...

How did you check the average speed? Currently using 6500..

[madman]

using pacnet 512k

 

SG server, DL 382kb/s, and UL at only 167kb/s...

Downloading is faster than uploading...hahaaa...

 

indo server DL 458kb/s, and UL at 215kb/s

How come indo server faster than our local SG server?

[tt6389]

My M1 3G broadband only $22/month for 384 kbps unlimited access. Good enough for web surfing, coz most oversea website speed below 100 kbps.

 

I think the higher speed is important for fast paced online games only.

 

 

I would have renewed my 2 years Maxonline contract if they had given a better free gift for the $58 plan. Apart from this , their so called 4mbps are advertising gimmicks for a very selective condition only.

[krazyfist]

mmm..i've been using wireless and he connection is sometimes FU**ED UP!..I think after my plan's over, im gonna use singnet..heard its very fast...

[standlee]

i believe starhub's surfing speed depends on ur location since its very much a bandwidth sharing concept. so if ur location has lotsa pple using MOH...blabla...

 

here's the catch. say a pipeline to a block of users.. starhub 'obviously' do not expect everyone to use the net at the same time, rite? so they expects some idle bandwidth of which they would squeeze in a couple more users. say a pipe meant for 10xMOH12000 users would end up having more users eg 13?15? since these pple r not expected to all be online at once. but wat happens if they try overstretching the limit?? or majority of users r doing massive downloads like we all do?? or everyone happens to be online at once?? in a nutshell, tats how ISP makes their dough.

 

yet, its impt for many to note tat the so called XXXXMbps means mega BITS per sec, not byte.. try dividing tat by 8 & u got ur new 'real' speed.

1024Mbits = 1 Mbyte. Divide? Hmmmm
