Will subscribing to a second cable modem service lead to slower speed for everyone in the neighbourhood sharing the network?
No, this is because StarHub’s broadband network is based on an advanced hybrid fibre coaxial (HFC) design which has the advantage of scalability. Many big operators like AT&T Broadband are upgrading parts of their network to the one that StarHub had built in Singapore. Each network node serves a fixed number of homes and this can be scaled up when the subscriber base grows within the same neighbourhood. StarHub closely monitors and increases the bandwidth provisioning in step with the growth of our customer base.
