Wireless Broadband

M1 provides a wireless broadband service linked to a notebook or PC. They charge $39 for 5G of data retreival a month. The speed is more than 1.8 M bytes per minute. The cost of 1 M of data is about 1 cent. The cost of retriving 1 M of data is about $3 for the mobilephone.

An alternative is to use Wireless@SG for free internet access. The problem is the limited number of hotspots, complicated login (for some hotspots) and the slow speed.

It is worthwhile to pay for the wireless broadband access, if you are doing work outside of office.

There are actually many financial adviser using this service. They can check fund prices, policy details or even log into CPF websites online when they meet their clients at public places or houses.

Both M1 and Singtel are offering such plans.
