Attached Thumbnails  M1 Fixed Line Broadband requires login and other related problems Link Posted on 11/21/2008 @ 06:35 PM M1 Fixed Broadband requires login and other issuesFor users who are shopping for a new broadband provider, you might have across M1 Fixed Broadband, the new kid on the block that provides the lowest no frills 10mbps plan for only $43 (or $40 if you are a M1 mobile subscriber).This Fixed Line Broadband service rides on the existing Starhub Cable infrastructure and uses the same compatible Motorola Broadband modems for connection.While Starhub users just plug in, update their MAC address of their broadband modem with the operator, M1 is slightly different from Starhub.If you have used the Starhub Maxonline Surf by the Day, you would have notice that you need to login. M1 does the same thing ! In short, everytime you need to surf the net, you are prompted with username and password to fill in. After which you will be logoff automatically 24 hours, probably the same time for your DNS service to complete it's lease period of your IP address.Users of another of their service, the M1 broadband (HSPA) faced another problem, that is, images are probably compressed and only when you move your mouse over the image, the image will load up beautifully. This is probably injected code to reduce bandwidth usage on their network. Some users also had problems logging into MSN messenger at night.The good news is that both Wired and Wireless plans do not block BT. Those who download Linux distribution or other legal materials over the net would be happy about this. I am sure it will block it as more and more people download illegal movies over their network.

What is new about the ECS A780GM-A Ultra is that this 780G board is paired up with the the new South bridge SB 750. This adds in some new features to the old North bridge 780G. e.g. RAID 5, AMD overdrive support thru SB750. On top of that, ECS ensures this board works with 160W processors. The BIOS is also improved. One of the most shocking option we come across is that the GPU CLK has a window, allowing one to tune it all the way to 2GHz (default 500MHz). Below is a screens shot. Will it be able to break the 900MHz limit (on most 780G board) ? Stay tuned.
