Qsts about fiber connection in Spore

[johnny333]

During the last PC show many people were offered cheap fiber connection. I'm curious about the level of service people have encountered?

Currently still using Singtel's ADSL however I notice that if I upgrade my internet connection to fiber I can access various TV services being offered in the US, HK, China,... I can also reduce my reliance on Starhub. For the same price as to what I am paying for Starhub I can get cheaper services from other companies e.g. Netflix or some other US/HK TV service.

Recently MyRepublics's offered a 1Gbps plan for $49.99. In the last PC show M1 offered a 100mbps plan for under $40. These are I think reasonable prices. Does anyone know if M1 or MyRepublic throttles the speed of downloads

Vsited Starhub at Plaza Spura to find out more on what they are offering to counter the packages offered by other ISPs. Really a waste of time because the rep didn't have the sheet showing the latest bundling promotions. It was obvious that she couldn't answer any questions that I might have. I worry that if I encounter any internet related problems I'm not sure that the people at Starhub can be of help.

Starhub is a movie channel provider & not really an ISP. I have talked to reps from View quest & Myrepublic & they appear to be more technically knowledgeable. With the introduction of fibre Starhub is losing their monopoly as a cable movie biznis. If they don't pull up their socks their future is not too bright.
