Mobile Warrior

Wireless@SG vs Broadband on Mobile

During those days when Wireless@SG decides to play a trick on me again, I’m so glad to have Broadband on Mobile. It almost never fails to deliver.

I’ve been having Broadband on Mobile 10GB plan for awhile now, but have not been able to use it on my 3G phone with my laptop as I’m using the SIM on my iPhone. Not only that iPhone doesn’t support 3G connection, it cannot, like my good old Nokia 6280, functions as a modem to my laptop too.

Now that I’ve got Multi-SIM, everything’s working fine again. One SIM in my iPhone, another in my good old Nokia 3G phone. I’m a mobile warrior again. I can even make (or lose) money playing mobile poker on my phone while on MRT.

Damn this sounds so much like payperpost.

No, it is not!

I’m typing this post in Starbucks at Suntec where there is Wireless@SG access point but a non-working DHCP.

Come to think of it, maybe this is the plan all along. Had all Wireless@SG connections are working great, who would’ve signed up for the mobile broadband services from the 3 telcos?

  4. Which Starbucks were you at? I always thought the suntec network quite stable one.

  5. @NTT yeah I know. My Wordpress database is quite screwed up. It started when the database gets corrupted and I tried to repair it. Been wanting to fix it but still haven’t got the time.

    @DK Was at e-Lifestyle’s Starbucks at Suntec.

  6. I’ve tried Wireless@SG before and the performance is just not up to par. Most of the time I have connection error (with my N80 phone). When it works, it is nice as I can read and reply Gmails. Most of the time, it just doesn’t or I just can’t find the access point. Perhaps that’s why mobile broadband plans still exist?
