Blogging From Singapore

Image via WikipediaI am currently in Singapore now.

Of course, the first thing I have always wanted to find out is the Internet speed.

My sister-in-law told me that they are having a 10mbps 8Mbps package from Starhub, without hesistation, I hastened to check it out with Internetfrog.



It recorded an average speed of 1.5 Mbps.

So, now the question is are we expecting to get 10 Mbps 8Mbps effective speed or is it like Malaysia where by paying for 2 Mbps, you will get an average of 200 - 300 kbps? This is about 10% - 18% of the promised speed.

One good thing compared to Malaysia's Streamyx is that over here in Singapore, you will get average of 1.5 Mbps day in and out. Well of course, I have tested it out for two days only.

Of course, one big difference that I noticed is that Acrobat.com can finally load like a desktop application.
