  wireless@SG not bad. aiya, simple surfing can la. lol.

  i usually use to chat with friends or do homework also. haha, always use at macd.

  later going macd, so will use wireless@SG, but the downside is, sometimes can get DC, but yah, free mah, what you expect xD

  btw, what's the speed for the wireless@SG?

  Currently is 512kbps but will be increase to 1 mbps. Check this interesting PDF from IDA, I noticed something quite amusing.

  
  > Number of subscribers far exceeded original target of 250,000

  Are they being stupid or what, they expect a quater of a million ppl to sign up for this only?

  But I think they didn't expect the netbook market to explode... so that's why they are expecting about 250K people to sign up.

  I just feel that if you really want to give free WiFi for the whole country. You should at least have a proper infrastructure that at least support 1 - 2 million people and not a quater of a million. I also remember that the news claimed that it was pushed out for the whole country, don't see it specially target a specific group of people.

  Off topic a little, what's wrong with explosion of netbooks, I don't see the use of a laptop which is even slower than P4. Yes it is cheap but don't tell me P4 is not cheap.

  Nothing is wrong with that, I only said that the government, with their very good foresight, just failed to predict that the netbook market would explode, resulting in today's predicament.

  Anyway, I assume that the government knows now, so they should be doing something about it (free wifi).
