"I’d have expected that as time goes on, the mobile broadband will get cheaper and cheaper. On the contrary, it seems it has now become more costly than before." I was trying to grab a data plan over the IT SHOW weekend, but noticed that the prices are generally still HIGH, not to mention that Prepaid data plans are WORSE. btw, did you mention in another post that we need to use a web login for M1 Fixed Home Broadband? I asked because my Linksys WRT54GL router is unable to detect an internet connection when the modem is plugged into it, although by itself, the Speedtouch is able to connect my PC to the net indeed. Oh, M1 Customer Service is supposed to be 24x7... but they close at 9pm! And it takes MORE THAN 20 minutes to just speak with them... or maybe even more than that, since I hung up after 20 precious minutes of wait-time. We are beginning to become more and more like the service counters in our neighbouring country. :( Regards, Rykel LIM I totally agree with your last statement… “I’d have expected that as time goes on, the mobile broadband will get cheaper and cheaper.
