Regret signing up for it. At night the speed is bordering on unuseaable and not much better in the day. I am often getting speeds like 5 -15 kB/s. downloading a 10mb file takes like 35 mins!! Wtf??!

Going to starhub once my subscription ends.

i am happy with singtel mobile broadband. have been using it for rapidshare downloading - getting close to 300Kbps.

The Singapore server already the closest and fastest. Overseas servers are worse. Sometimes could not even get 200kbps.

I never knew it can be this bad nowadays. When I used the service about 18mth ago it was still OK. Now it is like they totally oversold that tiny bandwidth and never did anything to improve.
