I'm not sure if it's just me, or is Singnet playing around again
For the past 3 days, I haven't been able to connect to the internet. I left my Netgear D834G on through the night, but still nothing... Though it's not on the supported modems list, I've been using it for close to 2 years without problems.

After changing the location of the modem (from my study room to my living room) while calling the broadband technical line (their staff are always engaged for some reason), I was miraculously online. Only to find myself disconnected the moment I dropped the call to Singtel.
I stayed dc for about 15 mins, then I decided to call Singtel again, and there I was, online!

Ok, so now I'm online.
A check at the modem console shows me this:

DownStream Connection Speed 1384 kbps
UpStream Connection Speed 202 kbps

when I'm supposed to be running on a 3mbps plan...

Frankly speaking, I am running out of patience for Singtel, Singnet, and their standards of service.


ADDED: I can't even complete Speedtest.net now...
