The Thomson gateway has a button in front. Pressing it doesn't do anything. I googled it and it seemed to be a ACL (Access Control List) controller, such that you press it and then have a device connect to it and it will add the device to ACL so that the gateway will remember the device. But I can't seem to get it to work.

What I want to do is make my gateway more secure so my neighbour can't hack my connection. Previously, I add mac addresses on top of password.. but I can't seem to do that with the Thomson gateway. What gives?

I was capped a couple of times when using the 2Mbps wired DSL lines. After reaching the quota I felt that at times I have to reboot the modem or my connection doesn't work. Could be just me. 40GB is very poor limit imo, but I'm not complaining because it's the same cost to me.

My question is, if you are capped, can your phone still work?

How can you terminate when you are bound by the 24-month contract?

Does the 40gb cap include VOIP calls?

I'm facing some problem one week after the FTTH installation. Everytime I go to a website (facebook.com, yahoo.com, ebay.com, twitter.com or any other website), I get a 404, page not found. I have to refresh the browser a few times, then it will be successful. Is it because the proxy is down or what? It's maddening!

Once connected - it is very fast. Just the first try is always unsuccessful. As such, some app in the iPhone or in the PC (iTunes for example) always fail authentication because the first try failed.

Well, I disagree to a certain extent. The way I see it, it is growing pains. After all they didn't charge exorbitantly .. in fact, it's the same price as my current maxis ADSL+phone rental - so I'm pretty ok without IPTV. I just hope they fix that slowdown problems fast!

The danger is when doing Internet banking. That's what I told the maxis staff. I said imagine transferring money and then get 404 (page not found).. if you do a refresh, you might pay TWICE!

Anyway, problem seemed solved today. At least, it looks like it from my end.

I heard that in SG, they charged S$49 for 25Mbps, S$59 for 50Mbps, S$89 for 100Mbps...
Minimum is 25Mbps and we are so happy with just 6Mbps

/hide in shame..
