I’ve just recontracted with my ISP a week ago. Now equipped with 10Mbps download and 1Mbps upload, everything goes even much faster now :)
The 10Mbps service had already been activated 2 days back, but due to my n00b-ness of not knowing 10Mbps would require a ADSL2 modem. Thus, I was stuck with searching for ‘free’ networks.
The ‘free’ ADSL2 router that came with the package arrived this afternoon, after 5 mins of receiving the package, I was back onto the internets ^___^
Speedtouch 585(i) ADSL2 4 ports router
Router stand
Straight through UTP cable
RJ 11 Phone wire
Power adapter
4 Phone ADSL filters
Yay. Free Phone ADSL filters. I have no idea why would one need so many. What I really do like is that this router has 4 ethernet ports and a build-in modem. This helps a hell lot as I would not need to use my old set-up which consisted of connecting a 1-port wireless router to a 4-port wireless router via NAT and static routing.
I really like the speeds I’m getting. It really leaves Chiyo-chan speechless :)
Now, I can’t wait for FTTH/FTTP (Fiber to the home) <Link>
Congrats, now you can stop doing illegal stuff. LOL.
On the contrary, more illegal stuff may now be done via the Internets.
Lucky you, my line is only capable of 2mbps max.
omg.. 10mbps. wicked internetssssss….
That reminds me… What’s the Singtel advertisement about ar? The mIo thing or something? What’s that ar?
ah welcome to the 10Mbps gang … its pretty sweet speed huh …
though I dun really like the speedtouch modem … kinda sucky so I’d just stuck to my old one.
