Before I start on this entry, I wish to say that this is my personal experience for the past few months using this service.

Introduction

I am staying at a rented room with my sister and thus we thought that we’re not going to register for wired Internet. Instead, we should just get SingTel’s Mobile Broadband (Mobile 1000).

Someday, some months back, we went down to SingTel at Bugis. Wow, when you sign a two year plan, you get the HSDPA modem (Huawei or Samsung) free. Free registration. Blah blah. We always love promotions, right? And so we signed up (Yes, 24 months contract).

First two months

First two months was ok. Decent bandwidth that I can get. I mean, pages don’t take very long to load. The latency is not that bad.

Now

1. MSN cannot connect. This is crap. Totally unacceptable.
2. Tibia (MMORPG) lags like hell. I logged in and tried to walk. I couldn’t even walk at all. I would lag for the next 60 seconds and get booted off for no packets sent/received. Damn it. You shall pay for what I paid CIP Soft.
3. Websites don’t load at all. Not even SingTel.com. Don’t even think about browsing facebook.com.
4. Emails not readable/reply-able. I cannot even get on the Internet smoothly, how can I read and reply my emails smoothly?
5. Think I can blog?

What can I do?

1. Get home, rest, shower and do face mask. After so much stress and sleeping late because the Internet tends to be not so bad after 12am.
2. I called SingTel 3 times in 2 weeks. I am still not getting any reply from their technical team regarding this shit.
3. Watch Hot Shot (篮球火). It entertained me for 1 hour.

Screw SingTel. I’m just bored. Internet sucks and I can’t do much.

SingTel, I want..

1. Waiver for my Internet bill for the past 2 months and current. (I paid them already, thinking it will improve)
2. Termination of contract.
3. Compensate me for my time (having to sleep late to use Internet)
4. Compensate me for my loss in not being able to get onto Tibia. You’re going to pay for my premium account.

If you’re using SingTel Broadband on Mobile..

I’d like to know how’s your Internet. Comments please.

I’m turning 19 in a week’s time or so. Still young I know.

I must say that I’m very lucky as compared to many people in the world. I get what I wish for and often time I get to do what I want to do.

Charity!

For this year’s birthday, I’m going to do something different. Instead of me receiving presents, I’m going to donate money to charity. And the amount I will donate all depends on you.

Tell me more!

Simple. As on title, for every comment posted here, I will donate $0.10 to charity. The donation will not be done live (not as you comment) though. I will send the amount to charity at the end of this event.

Which charity organisation?

I’ve got a few in mind. Such as SPCA (Singapore/Malaysia).  

Are there any charity organisations available in Malaysia or Singapore that I can help? If you’re going to request that I donate to any particular (registered) organisation, do mention in your comment. I will read each and every comment.

What if you lie?

If you’re afraid I will cheat (cheat myself?), close the window and ignore this post. Why would I want bad karma? =)

How can I play a part?

1. Add your comment. (Just say hello is fine.)
2. Tell your friends.

Rules

For every game/event, there will be a set of rules you must follow.

1. Each person is only allowed to comment once. Don’t spam/cheat.
2. This event ends on 4th October 2007, 11.55pm (GMT+8)

For now, I can only think of two rules.

Now, rule(s) for myself.

1. I must donate more than (number of comments * $0.10).

Anyone can share tips? I’m going for an interview soon. My first time.
