It started happening in the 3rd week of November. My Starhub MaxOnline connection began to lag like crazy and disconnected repeatedly during an evening of WoW. I was kinda panicky; was it 'time's up' already for my Asus computer or maybe my router/modem? It looked like yet another technical tragedy was going to happen under my name.
A quick visit to Hardware Zone made me realize that I was not alone. Connections to Starhub has been slow for everyone. Starhub had started capping overseas transfers (what, they want us to only visit local sites?) and just being a pain to their customers. My friends suspect that the end-of-year holidays are here, resulting in more students squeezing in to share the fat green pipe with me. This is kinda worrying for me. Lag doesn't really matter while web-surfing but lag kills gaming. I can't play during peak hours like weekday nights. It's beginning to bother me a lot.
I really like Starhub and wish to continue with their service. I'll see if there is any way to get this resolved. Otherwise, I guess I will have to start switching ISPs soon. Can't live without Internet gaming...
