just rcvd a letter from opennet saying that my unit can subscribe to fibre broadband services already. so anyone already using fibre ? how is the speed compared to the present cable or ADSL ? i am considering M1's 25mbps pack at $39 since its the cheapest of the lot and also since all 3 ISP lists their international speed at 15mbps only.

My Starhub ending soon...gonna kick them out...no bloody loyalty Need user experience and feedback on these 2. Anyone on them? can give FR? thanks all

Need to seek fellow MCFers view on this. I read that Starhub will be terminating the cable TV and migrate to fibre TV in a few years time and in order for fibreTV to work, the TV set and supporting hardwares had to be connected to the termination point (OpenNet) via cables. If my termination point is located at the main door area, does it mean I have to engage technician to relocate the termination point to my living room with drilling thru walls and ugly trunking ? Is it possible for FibreTV to work via WIFI ?

Starhub Broadband cable 100mps cost more than fibre 150mps. Any idea what are the diff interms of real performance ? The guy in the shop told me the following : 1. Cable have higher speed when access international sites. Slower for local sites. 2. Fibre slower when access international sites, but faster for local sites. I cant understand the rational. How fast is fast etc... Can some one explain ? thks

I had seen many vehicles having Carbon Fibre sticker (dark grey with pattern) covering whole bornet, roof or even rear boot. Just wondering, what is the purpose of this Carbon Fibre stickers ? Is it to keep the heat off or decoration ? A bit sua ku about it, thank for carification .....

Hi ALL IT Gurus My fibre broadband modem n D-Link router are installed in main hall.. all set up by my ISP last night. Andriod mobile devices n tablet received signal at full bar EVEN IN ALL BEDROOMS. Very Fast connection. However for my studyroom desktop, i only receive ONE BAR of wireless signal. I try to connect, key in e usual security password..it say 'windows does not connect to internet'. Thinking that bedroom signal could be weak thus unable to connect internet. BUT my mobile devices/tablet ARE STILL receiving full bar signal even placed next to my desktop. could it be my wireless lan card in my desktop (2-3yrs old HP Presario Windows 7) are not 100% compatible to fibre network, WLAN card failing suddenly or some configuration has nt done properly? Any good advise by the IT experts?

Whole life ruined because of 一时 or rather 六百十七次lun buay ge... Another yellow-ribbon candidate From CNA: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1192653/1/.html Former engineer jailed for fibre optic cable sabotage Posted: 02 April 2012 1312 hrs SINGAPORE: A former SingTel engineer has been sentenced to 15 months' jail for taking revenge on his supervisors. 35-year-old Terrance Tan Khoon Shan was convicted of cutting fibre optic cables belonging to OpenNet, in various areas including Clementi, Ang Mo Kio and Toa Payoh, on more than 600 occasions between March and May 2011. OpenNet is a consortium of four companies -- Axis NetMedia, SingTel, Singapore Press Holdings and Singapore Power Telecommunications -- that is building Singapore's ultra-fast fibre broadband network. SingTel is engaged by OpenNet to lay the optic cables at HDB flats islandwide. Tan faced a total of 617 charges but the court proceeded on 60. The court heard that Tan's misdemeanour stemmed from his dissatisfaction after he was terminated by telco SingTel. Tan joined SingTel as an engineer in August 2009 and was terminated a year later on September 2010. Unhappy with his supervisors, Tan decided to sabotage them by damaging the cables. Tan's lawyer had argued that his client was suffering from mental problems but the district judge disagreed. She ruled that Tan did not have a mental disorder and that "he was fully aware what he did was wrong, but he was overcome by his motive to seek revenge". In mitigation, the defence lawyer pointed out that Tan is a first offender and that he has a clean record prior to this. The lawyer argued that his client did not have designs to commit the offences, and asserted that the opportunities presented themselves to Tan. In response, the judge asked if the defence is saying the opportunities presented themselves 617 times. The defence lawyer also asked the court to consider probation but the prosecution objected to this as the offences committed were grave and in Tan's case, unsuitable for probation. The district judge agreed with the prosecution, calling Tan's crimes "senseless acts" which caused much inconvenience to residents who relied on the optic cables and ultimately led to a waste of time and money. The judge stressed that Tan's unhappiness with his supervisor was "not excusable". She sentenced Tan to three months' jail on each of the 60 charges, with five to run consecutively, making for a total of 15 months' imprisonment. Tan could have faced up to three years' jail and a maximum fine of $10,000 for each charge considered. - CNA/wm

When carbon fibre was introduced in the 1960s, it was poised to not only take on fibreglass, but also a whole host of other materials. Initially used in the aerospace industry, carbon fibre is now used in numerous of other products, notably in automotive parts and accessories. Since it appeared more than 50 years ago and we have been using it for decades, why is this material which is lighter and tougher than steel, still so expensive? Well, apparently, carbon fibre has to go through an expensive process just to manufacture it. Before carbon fibre becomes carbon fibre, it starts as a base material, usually an organic polymer with carbon atoms binding together long strings of molecules called a polyacrylonitrile. To get the carbon part of carbon fibre, half of the starting material's acrylic needs to be kicked away. "The final product will cost double what you started with because half burns off," explains Bob Norris of Oak Ridge National Laboratory's (Tennessee, USA) polymer matrix composites group. "Before you even account for energy and equipment, the precursor in the final product is something around $5 a pound." Forcing the acrylic to shed its non-carbon atoms takes monstrous machines and a lot of heat. The first of two major processing steps is oxidisation stabilisation. Here fibres are continuously fed through 50-100 foot-long ovens pumping out heat in the several hundred degrees Celsius range. The process takes hours and uses up lots of energy. Then the material goes through the carbonisation process. Although the furnaces here are shorter and don't run for as long as the previous step, they operate at much higher temperatures, at 1000 degrees Celsius for the initial step and then another round of heating with even higher temperatures. Just imagine the power bill for these processes and it doesn't end here. Manufacturers also have to deal with the acrylic that doesn't hold on during the heating process. Off gasses (the introduction of harmful chemicals into the environment) need to be treated so as not to poison the environment. After all of that, what we get are just strands of carbon fibre. They still need to be arranged into a lattice (criss-cross) in order to take advantage of the material's uni-directional strength. The arranged fibres have to be parallel and stretched evenly, every single one of them. A wavy strand in a lattice will put extra stress on a straight fibre, and that straight one will end up breaking first. To compensate for the possibility of an imperfect weave, manufacturers might thread in ten percent more of the already expensive fibres than is necessary. These strands alone are not what manufacturers need. Carbon fibre is used to reinforce composite materials. They are like steel bars in a block of concrete. Right now carbon fibres work with a thermoset resin. Together they make a composite that can be manipulated to take a certain shape. The problem is that once the resin has been shaped and cured in an autoclave, it cannot be modified without compromising its structural integrity. A small mistake means a lot of waste, including time. Thermosetting takes over an hour, which is a long time considering how fast the automotive industry stamps out body panels. The process of producing a carbon fibre product takes a lot of time and energy which eventually costs a lot of money. Until scientists or experts in this field comes up with a manufacturing process that costs lower and less time consuming, consumers have to bear with the prices of carbon fibre for now.

Hi folks, I am currently under singel's mio plan and the contract is expiring early next month. The plan is 8Mbps, home fixed line and an iOne Plus mobile. At home, I connect one PC directly to the mio box, another 1 PC and 1 laptop use wireless connections. We are relatively light users so this current setup is more than sufficient for our usage. I only do occasional downloads but my kid watches youtube on a regular basis. The youtube videos are very good and no jerking at all....and the PC is on wireless connection. Only problem I have now is that since switching to a new 2wire mio modem provided by Singtel, it disconnects almost on a daily basis. This can be very annoying when I am working from home, and in the middle of a telecon. I also have another 2 mobile lines under my name with singtel, but they are not bundled with mio plan. So right now I am considering 2 choices. M1 25Mbps fibre or maxonline 6Mbps 1) Currently my mio modem is in my study so I can connect my pc directly to it. If I switch to M1 or starhub, the connection points will be in the living room, so meaning all my computers have to be connected via wireless. 2) Singtel goes with per min billing. M1 and starhub per sec. Also the latter 2 allows free calling to 3 numbers, singtel doesnt have this perk. 3) Heard the M1 residential gateway is not too good. Connections may not hit desired speeds, but may be rectified with some tuning. Also wireless strength not good. Is it possible to disable the wireless feature on the Huawei and I connect my own wireless router to it? 4) Heard starhub cable is not youtube friendly. true? My kid uses youtube regularly so I do not want to disappoint her. btw, her PC will be connected via wireless as well. I have been with singtel for >10years and so far I have not tried using starhub or M1. Will really appreciate anyone to give some advice so that it is easier for me to make a decision. Btw, I am planning to retain all my existing numbers - home fixed line and 3 mobile numbers. thanks for advice.
