Pacific Internt


Singapore's Pacific Internet, or PacNet, is fighting back a rising tide of competition on the island nation. As one of the country's leading ISPs (alongside Singapore Telecommunications), the firm offers dial-up and broadband access, Internet consulting services, and Web site hosting, as well as other e-commerce services. It has been focusing on its broadband offerings as well as its e-commerce services, in the face of competing Internet service providers. PacNet also operates in Australia, Hong Kong (through Pacific Supernet), India, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. Connect Holdings acquired 88% of the company in 2007.

Pacific Internet or PacNet is headquartered in Singapore and is the largest telco-independent Internet Communications Service Provider in the Asia Pacific region with direct presence in Singapore, Hong Kong, Philippines, Australia, India, Thailand and Malaysia.

The Group runs a round-the-clock IP network with strong international peering relationships, enabling it to offer integrated access, data, and value-added services to customers with interests in commercial centers in Asia and globally.

However, while Pacific Internet is headquartered in Singapore, it has only managed to capture a small part of the market there as it does not own its own networks. This may change in the near future as PacNet has just received a license to operate wireless network.

Pacific Internet ADSL Broadband service is the perfect answer for exclusive high-speed Internet access in the comfort of your own home. All you need is a phone line and ADSL modem, and you are off and running at up to 1500kbps!

Using state-of-the-art Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) technology, you can now surf at super-fast speed and still enjoy voice or fax services, over a single phone line, at the same time! Get connected, watch online movies, download music and play online games like never before!

$ Some suggestions from my friends on the choose of internet service providers in SG


v.s

v.s

StarHub,SingNet or M1?My freind John definitely choosed StarHub. He has been using StarHub for 4 years already. And he likes Starhub. He had just signed up SingTel about 8 months for his brother and my friend. But he doesn't like SingTel. He always feels that he just doesn't like it and not-oh-so-satisfied service and everything

.

Because of some billing and over due bill problem, he went to SingTel Customer Service for 3 or 4 times already. Finally, my friend decided to terminate the line. So, that evening, he went to SingTel Customer Service to do termination. But they asked him to call Customer Service Hot Line 1626. Huh, he is personally at customer service place, he doesn't know why he have to call and ask those things to do so. How come they can't do it at there, they said that place is for re-activation line only. To terminate it, he has to call 1626. Geez, he wasted his trip down there. If not, he can go back home earlier. And he felt that StarHub is much better. StarHub shop and Customer Service Centre, they have seats for customers while Singtel has none. Customers have to stand up at counter. StarHub is too kind, they even have seats for customers who are waiting for their numbers to call up at counters. And some more, they even provide sweets at counters. Haha

. v.s

SingTel always asks us to do something else. Example, he called customer hot line to re-activate the line. They asked him to go customer service centre. Okie, So he went there. And next time, he went to customer service centre to terminate line. They asked him to call customer service hot line. Is it like play volleyball? Throwing from one to another. I don't know how StarHub gonna work on this problem or customers can solve everything at customer service centre or not. Maybe, I'm just biased to StarHub and I never have this kinda experience at StarHub. StarHub customer service centre supports a lot of things and services at there, sweet, water from water cooler, seats and bill payment counter some more. I'm loving per second billing from StarHub. We can know sorta exactly hours, minutes and seconds we used for past month
.

He wants to something complaint about StarHub. When new line is signed up, the new handsets are expensive. They are about SGD100 cheaper than at outside price only. SingTel handsets are quite cheap.
