On the worst day, I can't even surf past one page. No matter how many million times I click on the refresh button, the "white screen" remains painted on my screen. The ADSL connection remains alive, but somehow there is a loss of connection in the modem or Singtel's line. I googled up and found out there is a spike of users reporting the same problem since last week. If you are on the Singtel MIO TV bundled broadband and using the 2Wire 2701HGV-E modem/router, you'll most likely have the same problem too. Either the modem is crappy or Singtel's internet routing is bad. I found a temporary solution to it. In your internet options, go to the Network or Connection tab (depending on your browser) and use "proxy.singnet.com.sg" as your proxy and port number "8080". I'm not sure if this method works for others, but mine has been running fine; at least for the moment. This band aid solution is not going to help in the long run. The bottom line is, Singtel better buck up and address this issue rather than skirting around it with their lousy customer support. Give your customers better modem, good technical support and improve your connection! I'm not going to renew the contract nor getting any new products from Singtel until I see improvements in their service.
* if you find this solution helpful, do spread the news to other singtel broadband users.

i've been facing the same issues.... it's driving me nuts too.
I am facing the same issue for past few days too!!!!!!
switching to MIO plan was a totally bad decision!!
Same issue here. Found your blog while Googling it. This is why I dumped Starhub early this year and switch to Singtel.... Singapore ISPs suck!
I don't know which Telco is the best now. Originally Singtel seemed to be the best, especially if you're using PvP a lot. But now Singtel has such horrible stability in their Internet Connection. In the morning when everyone's at school or work the Internet is the smoothest. Then afternoon and midnight is the worst. I think Singtel has overstretched its data capacity with MioTV and the flurry of signups for ESPN. Haiz. I am considering Starhub when my contract ends.
