somehow, I'm not too envious of this.
All of Singapore's Internet access passes through a national proxy server that censors and restricts hundreds of sites. It may be fast, but one might not be able to access all the sites one needs.
And I don't mean just porn sites, many political sites are also restricted.

that is Mega bits (Mb) NOT Mega bytes (MB) so you are not getting 25MB but roughly 2.5MB... sorry to burst your bubble... :angel:

It's actually 3.125MB/s. ;-) But it's still 25x faster than myDSL Pro, and you only need to pay roughly P1K more. :-)Originally posted by HAL9000

Maccess is right re: censorship though. That's a big downside.

I worked there for 4 years, using SingNet and Starhub. You only get censored IF you use the ISP's proxy server in your configuration. Otherwise ...Originally posted by McWilly

And yes, it was supposed to be 25Mbps not 25MB -- my bad. But hey, it's still hell of a lot faster than my 512MB MyDSL connection here

In London I saw adds for DSL ranging from 1MB-4MB connections for about the same we pay the PLDT 1900 plan.
