Sites not loading for Singnet and Mio Users
October 30, 2008  |  Her Complains  |  internet connection, Mio broadband, network timeout, Singnet, solution, starhub broadband

It has been almost two weeks since I was last able to connect using my mio broadband to all sites and blogs. But one day, my browsers simply refused to load some of my regular reads! The page will just take forever to appear, and when it does, this is all I saw…


While accessing SMB|SG


At Sheylara’s blog


And at Veron’s blog

It’s so frustrating when I can’t access the blogs and sites I want! Good thing I’ve a Starhub mobile broadband too, so when I have to access the sites that’s not loading on Singtel’s Mio broadband, I’ll use that.

When I saw Sheylara’s post on Ping.sg top 10, I did the broadband swapped and saw a comment to help solve my problem!

If you’re having problem too and is on Singnet or Singtel’s Mio BB, don’t bother calling their technical support, they’ll give you standard help and if all things failed, they’ll tell you, “Its your problem! Nothing wrong with our side!“ That’s the kind of hell I get from them when I called them for the last time.

Thanks to cowgOesmOo for the solution. Here’s what you can do…

In your browser setting, (or browser preferences), go to network connection settings.
Select Manual proxy configuration.
Set the http proxy to: proxy.singnet.com.sg
and change the port to: 8080

That will solve the problem! Well, at least it did help solve mine for now! Hope Singtel’s resolve their router and server soon.

    Sounds like a proxy problem.

    I was considering to switch to Singnet the other day when the sales person came knocking on my door offering discounts on the broadband.

    More discounts if I signed up with all of their 3 services. Luckily I didn’t.

    Hi there, the proxy issue for Singnet seems to be prevalent for Nokia Map Loader too.
    I’ve gotten to know of this proxy trick thru the nice folks at HWZ actually.

    But somehow, my singnet connection’s on/off all the time. X_X

    @motd generally I do not have much problem with singtel mobile. i’ve been with them for many years. even using their mobile broadband too on my mobilephone. but the mio broadband has been giving me problems now and than. as for the mio TV, don’t think I’ll ever need that. Starhub Cable beats that hands down (for now).

    @cowg0esm0o are you using wireless connection? I get that at times too!

  • William

    Hi,

    I am frustrated having to connect mio tv from wireless mio connection.
    I can’t even get a link signal.
    And I threw it a side for 2 mths. Till now still can’t get the signal.

    Very frustrated.
