My SingNet connection started acting up yesterday. I kept d/c'ing every 5-10 minutes. This made it impossible to play games on Xbox Live and it was highly annoying when trying to surf the net. I thought it was just SingNet being laggy for the night so I kept myself occupied with other things before going to bed.
To my dismay, I came back today and the problem still persisted. I called up SingNet and they said they will send someone down to check next Monday.
This made me depressed and I started thinking what I should do to make the wait less painful. This was when I thought about my old StarHub connection. I was waiting for the contract to end before cancelling it. Somehow, it slipped my mind as I forgot when it was ending. Given my situation, this happened to be a good thing!
I dug out the old Motorola modem and hooked it up to my Xbox 360. To my relief, it still worked after over ten months of non-use. Things aren't as bad as it seems anymore. I can still play games and surf the net.
Like an old friend waiting in the shadows, the congested Green Pipe jumps in and rescues me from SingNet's failure. How ironic. Now I just have to wait till next Monday.
EDIT: SingNet called me and told me that they did some fixes on their site. Everthing seems to be workng now.
