Extract from Lianhe Zaobao, 3rd Dec 2006Felt really disappointed when I read all recent news about the Wireless@SG launch. Slow connection and limited access due to bandwidth limitations are major prob with the whole system. It really brought back memories of how the project first came out, and how close we were to having a chance to change the whole telecommunications industry of Singapore. Things could have been real different as compared to now!
Using the wireless connection in Taichung and Singapore are different experiences altogether. Imagine this technology appearing in Singapore. What a differences it would have made to all users! And it's real high speed!

The bottom test was done when I was in Taichung on a moving bus in Oct, while the one on top was done at home back in Singapore using a 4000kbps service. See the diff?
Well at least for now the services are free, which more or less makes up for the quality (or lack of it). Hopefully all these problems will be resolved by the time they end their free services.
