  The right question should be:
  
  Does our monthly subscription include paying for these transparent proxy services?

  Filter service by Singnet is optional, this transparency proxy thingy is compulsory, whether you like it or not.
  
  So that's why broadband bills are high.........

  its optional but cant they just apply it to all and make every1 pay that extra 5 bucks or better still ask the gahmen to pay for it all lar..but anyway we should at least have our very own freedom mah..if even internet also restrict..then we are like living under some 1 else's tumb already wat.. its true that our gahmen are very protective of us..but over protective will not make us c the hush reality and in return we would become ignorant compare to ppl who lives under threats and is expose to the truth of reality..daily affairs or political affairs...

  Transparent proxy can beat anonymous proxy servers or not?

  I believe transparent proxy can beat anonymous proxy servers. The meaning of transparent means can see through things, so you can't detect it.
  
  But for anonymous proxy servers, with some high tech device, the government can know what is going on through there.

  Singapore Broadcasting Authority's rules slowing down the web
  
  As all avid internet users have noticed, the web is slowing to a crawl these days. Many popular sites such as SlashDot and Cnet almost do not load anymore.
  
  This results in frustrating refreshes or reloads. A quick search on Google has also yielded many complaints about the slow speed.
  
  Many users are unaware that the slowdown which plagues local internet users is due to the [b]mandatory transparent proxies that have been put in place to adhere with Singapore Broadcasting Authority's regulations.
  
  Although this is done with good intentions, it backfires as local Internet Service Providers (ISP) are unable to handle the intense load on their proxy servers. This results in unbearable internet speeds.
  
  It is very saddening to know that many Singaporeans who pay premium prices receive sub-standard services. Furthermore, with the rapid influx of new internet users, we can only expect the worst to come if the ISPs or Singapore Broadcasting Authority do not address the issue.
  
  I hope the Singapore Broadcasting Authority can make more informed decisions in future.

  Thanks.[/b]

  No wonder I played CS so LAG......
