M1 redefines Singapore’s home and office broadband market with the launch of ‘M1 Broadband’ service. This would mean more competition for the rest of the internet service providers. It is also the first island-wide wireless broadband service.

There are 3 tiers to their plans. The Broadband 384, Broadband 1800 and Broadband 3600.

Broadband 384 feels kinda like Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line (SDSL).

I do really wonder how this would take off though. Given that there will be free wireless connectivity coming 2007 (for the next 2 years for internet service providers besides singnet which are doing it for 3 years) at selected town centres. My town centre’s in the list as well :) And I’m about 20 – 30m away from the zone.

The free wireless, also known as, Wireless@SG will offer free 512 kbps (kilobits per second) wireless access at hot spots. I guess it would be used for simple internet surfing and email checking. I do wonder about the security issues for these. Oh well, we’ll have to wait and see what happens.

Dancing Queen from howagirlfigures.com celebrates Easter with Nendoroids – cute! More pics at her blog.

We don’t really celebrate Easter here so I don’t know how it feels like, but seeing so many Nendoroids there make me want to grab some in the future! Kyouka looks especially cute!

Only remember eating Easter eggs with some jelly filled inside when I was younger. Wonder if I can bring one of these nendoroids back into camp ^^;
