Netvigator broadband 100MB/s

2010-03-22 2:22 pm
I've been using my router for 8 years and it's getting slower and slower everyday so I decided to get a new modem and plan from netvigator. I was planning to getthe 100MB/s plan but recently I looked up some reviews on the Internet and thatchanged my mind a little bit. The reviews were mainly negative and they said don't get fooled by the word "fibre optics", one of them reported the top speed he'dexperienced was 10 MB/s which made me doubt if the plan was worth it and
some of them also said HKBN is better! I've been a netvigator user for nearly a decade so switching wouldn't be a favorable idea to me, but now I download lots of things from the Internet and I really need a high speed access. What do you think? Is it worth it? Please write if you had any experience and also some HKBN comments please! I don't Ming you answering in Chinese or English.

b166359I has answered most of your questions clearly and precisely, but I want to pitch in an additional concern.

If you are browsing local websites and downloading files with platform/softwares like BT where the source is in Hong Kong, then every service provider is the same (Just don't get Cable Internet!). You can pick the one with the most aggressive discount.

However, if you browse a lot of foreign website (for example, ESPN.com, with live streaming of games), then Netvigator is your ticket to go. PCCW controls the pipeline that connects to outside of Hong Kong, so they have the widest bandwidth.

I am a Netvigator customer also. Their pricing scheme is not competitive (quite expensive for the bandwidth available), but I browse US and European websites a lot, so I stay with them.

I forgot if I am using 8MB or 16MB -- 30MB is not available at the complex I am living yet (Tower 1 to 5 are ready for 30MB, while the rest are not). I watch College Football and College Basketball through ESPN and BigTenNetwork from the US.

I can get 300~700k streaming with no significant issue. Yes, sometimes there are short lags, but I can live with it. I do switch off NowTV when I watch those sports even through the internet.

Unlike Cable Internet, your individual bandwidth through PCCW Netvigator is not affected by how many people are using internet around you at the same time.

Ok, if the website you are browsing has a lot of people accessing to it at the same time, then the speed may be affected. But this is not your ISP or PCCW's issue. And I should say, it's insignificant.

100MB is really fast for browsing website. Unless you are a business user transferring large files or using video conference all the time, the 1GB plan is not worth the money for residential use.

I can't be sure. However, what's the performance with your current PCCW bandwidth plan? If you can't reach the full downloading stream with your current plan, chances are, you are not going to get much faster with a more expensive, bigger bandwidth plan with those websites.

基本上我覺得間間公司都有負面評論...
而且其實很多寬頻所說的100M指的是100Mbit/s
在電腦上都是用byte顯示的...
而1BYTE=8BITs,再換算一下的話...
100Mbit/8=12.5MB/s...
所以實際在你電腦上看到最高速只會到12.5MB/s
所以跟你所看到的評論講到的10MB/s差不多...
這是包括香港寬頻跟Netvigator在內都是這樣計算的...
就這裡來說2間公司是差不多的...
而分別在於Netvigator一直宣傳的是海外連線比較快...
而香港寬頻宣傳的是本地連線...
實際那一個比較快就真是因人而異...
而就我看最多對Netvigator的壞評價是會斷線?
但斷線也有可能是router配合不當等...
就這個問題如果你冇發生的話...
我覺得你不需要轉.

我用香港bb100的,給你一個參考...
12.5MB/s這個頂速我一次都未見過...
就連一半的6MB/s都很少會達到...
所以就100M寬頻而言你是不會用到盡的...
跟我之前在用的25MB寬頻完全感覺不到任何差別的...
