  Only S $38 / month for 1.8MB connection, much better than what SingTel offers....

  Wait till next year March computer fair and compare the promotions. With 3 companies now vying for customers, I am sure the promotions and prices will get very good.

  "The three Unlimited Broadband plans will be attractively priced at S$22, S$38 and S$68 with downlink speeds of up to 384 Kbps, 1.8 Mbps and 3.6 Mbps respectively :
  
  M1 Broadband Plans
  Monthly Subscription (S$)
  Speeds Up To
  
  Broadband 384
  $22
  Download : 384 Kbps
  Upload : 384 Kbps
  
  Broadband 1800
  $38
  Download : 1800 Kbps
  Upload : 384 Kbps
  
  Broadband 3600
  $68
  Download : 3600 Kbps
  Upload : 384 Kbps
  
  These plans will come with NO additional fixed phone line charges unlike other fixed broadband operators. They will also be extended to enterprise customers without any additional premium charges unlike other broadband operators.
  
  Seamless migration for existing M1 Customers
  
  M1 customers who are currently on the 3G SunSurf 38 and 68 plans will be automatically migrated to the basic tier Broadband 384 Plan at $22/month from 6 December onwards thus giving them almost up to 68% savings instantly."
  
  I really want to get it on Wednesday so that I could work anywhere.
  
  They say the 3.6MB connection is only available in CBD. So the S$38 unlimited usage plan with 1.8 MB connection is best for home users. only 6 months contract. I wonder what other 2 companies are offering ???
  
  Anyone knows ?

  I remember M1 has a 1GB limit, after that, they charge you according per kb.

  These broadband plans now come with 2GB limit. Good luck, given the way M1 bills.

  Just wondering how much is literally 2GB for a normal internet user ?
  
  Has anyone here started using this broadband plan from M1 already ?

  If I don't download movies at all, just browsing. Can 2G last 20 days ?
  
  I think their marketing is misleading to state unlimited usage...
  
  I hope the competitors will come in and kick their stinky ass...

  Not enough unless you want to miss out the fun, which defeats the purpose of the plan anyway.

  I really need this Vodafone USB modem coz mine is a MacBook with no PCMCIA. Sadly, M1 is the only one that provides this modem for FREE.
  
  I wonder how many people has signed up for this wireless broadband since Wed ?
