<\/p>\nStarHub today announced an unique solution to ensure consistent connectivity. Customers on the 500 Mbps fibre home broadband plan will be getting another 100 Mbps cable home broadband subscription starting from 31st May 2014.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I wonder if StarHub has measured how people will react to this new service. First of all, I like the idea of redundancy in the home network. However, why do they need another 100 Mbps cable network to support their\u00a0 fibre network? Some people might mistaken that as a sign that StarHub is acknowledging that their Fibre is not consistent. Therefore there is a need to have a broadband cable for consistent connectivity.<\/p>\n
Anyway, this is just my speculation. I think the consumers will benefit in the end. Read the Press Release for more information.<\/p>\n
