Boat collector · #46 14-12-2011, 01:59 PM

Bro, I have the same problem. Was down last week, then back up again on Sunday! Was sooo happy.. but short lived. Went back down yesterday at 1am.. I'm on Starhub.. No problems accessing SBF from my office which uses Singtel..

Only thing is big risk to use in the office as if they trace the sites I surf.. die liao... ass get fired!

3. tried pinging www.sammyboyforum.com, got all data packets lost
4. later, tried accessing www.sammyboyforum.com and got the home page. Tried logging on using userid and got same error message as above.
5. clear all cookies and cache; tried again and got same problem
6. tried using Internet Explorer, same problem.
7. at around 9pm 11-Dec, problem seems to have solve itself. Been logging off and on for the last 2 hours with no problems.

Are you also having similar experience, please reply and let all know. Administrators will probably need this info to troubleshoot. Hope this helps.

I have exactly same problem. And i using SIngtel. And this problem still exist today. But somehow, this problem can be overcome by access using Firefox 8. thats how i reply this mail now.

Am using Firefox to surf SBF.

Most of the time, I am able to access SBF and surf as per normal.

However, there were instances where I encountered 504 Gateway Timeout messages and broken pages. In addition, surfing on SBF is sometimes rather slow and takes a long time to load or refresh.

I'm using wireless connection on Singtel's fibre optics.

Hope this issue can be rectified soon

True, but why frustrating? hidemyass seems to work very well, doesn't it? Right now, that's how I am accessing this site. Shouldn't it be able to work from any computer, particularly from home?

Hmm..frustrating because I do not seem to be able to reward rep points for some brothers via Hidemyass. Again, this post is via logging on through Hidemyass. I have already called SingTel to ask for their installation charges since I've already got Mio TV. Only issue is cancelling StarHub broadband as there are cancellation charges since my contract runs up till January 2013. May need to ask them to waive on the grounds of poor connectivity ;-)

Almost a week since the logging on issue started, and no idea when this will be resolved.

Anyone tried using opera browser to surf? I tried with no issue. No prob upping others' repute wif it too.

Starhub will always gives the same old lame reason, ask u to reboot ur modem. If prob persist, they'll say ur router not compatible. Else, they'll say ur modem is old model and not up to speed for ur current plan, this resulting in connectivity probs. Loads of crabs frm them. Customer Service hotline minimum waiting time ranges frm 30mins ~ 1hrs. Kaoz!

Anyway, I dun think they are blocking the site cos if blocked, can't even access. Dun think there's such thing tt when they block still can partial access or slow loading. Must be something wrong wif the ISP config.

also using hidemyass.....sigh..every damn thing also want to block.....really asses..

Shadow_warrior · #56 15-12-2011, 10:43 PM

dragos · #57 15-12-2011, 10:57 PM

As promised, I checked the connection to the site from Hong Kong and Shenzhen yesterday and today. I am posting this from my Shenzhen hotel. Connections are both good and in fact seems to be faster than my Starhub connection. Seems the problem is definitely on the ISP side (i.e., Starhub) in my case.

Hi Bro, I tried using Opera browser, cannot even log on. My conclusion is that the issue is with the service provider, in my case it is StarHub. As another brother correctly pointed out, he had no issues accessing the site from HK.

When I called Starhub the other day dialling the dedicated Platinum Club member hotline, I had to hold for 23 minutes before speaking to someone, damn ridiculous! In comparison, my call was picked up in 30 seconds when I called SingTel to make enquires on their broadband. I rest my case, and time to change to SingTel. Will need to negotiate with StarHub on the cancellation charges though....

For my case, my home is running on SH. No issue on wifi. Iphone4S running on M1 3G. Must use wifi to get connected to SBF, else need to use opera or hidemyass.
