It is a piece of good news for me. Finally, SPEEDS for the free Wireless@SG service will be doubled to 1 Mbps from 512 kbps across all hotspots around the island from Tuesday 1 Sep 2009.

I almost give up on Wirless@SG because it is super slow and almost unusable.

A total of 1.3 million subscribers stand to benefit from this speed increase at popular places such as cafes, libraries and shopping malls till 2013.
First announced in June during imbX 2009 by Acting Minister of Information, Communications and the Arts RADM(NS) Lui Tuck Yew, this enhancement will enable Wireless@SG users to better access media-rich and interactive websites as well as make use of bandwidth-intensive services such as video streaming, video conferencing and multimedia applications.
