  Different hotspots are registered under the different operators. My guess is you need to sign up at all 3 operators in order to use.

  No... you just need to register with one operator. Each operator is required to provide login for all wireless@sg subscribers.
  
  For example, I'm registered with Qmax. When at a hotspot provided by Singtel, I just choose the qmax option to login using my qmax userid and password.

  With effect from 1 July 2007, those using Wireless@SG Plus plan under Singnet will be paying $10.59 per month.
  
  New users who are planning to sign up Wireless@SG Plus plan with Singnet will have to sign up a minimum of 3-month contract with no termination. Registration fee will also be waived.
  
  Those using Singnet Outdoor Wireless Surf, please note that your plan has been been migrated to the Wireless@SG Plus plan. You will still pay the same amount. $10.40 for the month of June 2007, $10.59 from the month of July 2007 onwards.
  
  The increase is due to the GST 2% rise.
  
  For more details, there will be a Singnet's Roadshow in Woodlands, opposite Burger King, from this Saturday 30 June 2007 to Sunday 1 July.
  
  Time is from 11am to 8pm for both days.
  
  Mio customers please ask for help from the Singnet broadband guys before proceeding to sign up with Wireless@SG or Wireless@SG Plus if you are interested.

  Some FAQ after the Wireless@SG clinic in Woodlands.
  
  Q1: Is this free?
  A1: Yes, it's free, but for a limited time period. This free broadband will be free until 31 December 2009.
  
  Q2: Does it cover HDB flats?
  A2: No, unless you are staying near major shopping centres such as Toa Payoh Hub. In such places, they are being covered extensively, so you will be able to receive the wireless signals.
  
  Q3: Is it everywhere?
  A3: No again. The operators have agreements with IDA and other retailers to set up the Wireless@SG access points.
  
  Q4: Does it cover MRT stations?
  A4: Technically, no. However, you may be able to receive wireless signals if you still have not cross the gate.
  
  Q5: How do I login?
  A5: Connect to the Wireless@SG network, surf to any webpage. You will be prompted to login. Type in your username and password to login. If you have forgotten your password, please follow the instructions on the webpage to reset it.
  
  For Singtel mobile customers, please use your IDEAS username and password provided to you when you sign up the line with Singtel.
  
  For Singnet broadband users, please call 1610 to reset your password. For Singtel mobile customers, please call 1626 to reset your password. It's much more faster and straight-forward than to do a reset via the web.
  
  Q6: It doesn't re-direct me to the login page.
  A6: Please clear your browser's history, cache and cookies and try again.
  
  Q7: If I'm a foreigner, can I register too?
  A7: Yes. Connect to the Wireless@SG network, surf to any webpage. You will be re-directed to a login page. On the login page, you can click to sign up. Please use your passport number to sign up. Your password will be sent to you via SMS. Overseas charges apply, depending on which mobile phone company you signed up with.
  
  Q8: Is it secure?
  A8: No. It's an opened network; anybody can connect to it. Please use a firewall when surfing using the Wireless@SG network. If you need to connect back to your company, please use the VPN provided by your company to connect back to the company. Singnet, iCell and QMax will not be responsible for any data loss if you failed to do so.

  Yes. Same service.
  
  Look out for the Wireless@SG logo sticked on the libraries door.

  For certain catchments, the indoor signal coverage is much better. The outdoor coverage tends to be more spotty.
  
  IMO, this is more due to the 802.11g than anything else. The outdoor areas I feel might be better served with 802.11n access points. Unfortunately, its still not ready... so we'll just have to put up with poor coverage in certain areas.
  
  I saw some rather... interesting interim-solutions by Singtel... Their antennae were tilted at a rather odd angle.

  I'm not sure if Wireless@SG is using 802.11G. The last time I helped them set up it was using 802.11B.

  Updated lists of hotspots this list is updated monthly once QMax, iCell and SingNet confirms that they have been set up.
  
  Singnet Wireless Surf Zones this list is updated regularly once the hotspot is up and running.
  
  QMax Wireless Surf Zones same as Singnet
  
  iCell Wireless Surf Zones same as Singnet and QMax
  
  Currently, Jurong East surf zones for Jurong East is being set up.
