My thoughts of switching from Singnet MIO 6Mbps to M1 100Mbps.
The package comes with
-100Mbps
- Free Digital line
- Mobile broadband Sim card with free 1GB data monthly
Not sure am i limited to the speed because i am still using a 100M network router from Linksys WRT54G with Tomato firmware. (This router has serve me more than 5 years and still going strong)

I don’t need a gigabit network at home. Since only 1 PC will be turned on most of the time.
The big improvement was http downloads can reach up to 7-8mb which was a big increase in speed.
Youtube loading wasn’t really improved. It’s still had to load. Loading of 720P or 1080P videos will still load at the same speed. It won’t be surprising if Youtube Singapore have a caching server down here.
With their package you get a free digital line. Your phone needs to be connected to the ONT at all times.
M1 is really good with their service. You can call in anytime of the day and their customer service will route you to the correct department. I even paid my M1 bills through phone with my credit card!

When a passcode is keyed incorrectly it auto takes a picture of the person and emails the picture to your email address.
There is no law stating that the person must return your phone. Although the law is states, it is an offence to have something that is not rightfully yours.
Well, the law sure doesn’t help you to trace the identify of the person who took your phone. You can use the picture to spam it across forums or online for the fun of it.
Phones can easily can restored to factory setting without much knowledge. The most important thing is to ensure that you do not save anything important inside your phone.
You can sync your contacts online. Save or view your documents. When a lost of phone happens, first thing is to change all your passwords on your applications.

Just cancelled my Singtel MIO home. Move on to M1 Fiber plan $39/Mth.
If I don’t return it. M1 cannot port my land line phone from Singtel.
I have a choice of a few locations to return. Which is Singpost. When I reach there to return. The staff asked me some questions “Have you upgraded your medi-shield plans?
Than requested for my IC and they did the queuing for me. Later on redirecting me to the agent.
The first question they asked. Have you upgraded your medishield plans? Can you provide your Singpass and password?
Well, Singpss contains all your information about you earn and what assets you own. Never give it to someone without knowing what you are getting into.
I can manage my own personal finances.

I just wanted to share about some thoughts about investing passively. Meaning you can invest with minimum effort.
While there are many types of investment methods out there. You should invest in something which provides a return that is able to beat a little of high inflation cost.
When fixed deposits are the worst types which offers less than 1%/year of returns. This types of investment are for those that are not willing to engage in any types of risks.
One thing good about fixed deposits is the MAS guarantees a 50K if anything happens to the bank. Anything that is more than 50k. Good luck.
There is basically nothing that is 100% risk free.

Singtel have announced for new and re-contracting customers plans will be reduced from 12GB to 2GB.
Starhub is also following to reduce the data plan from 12GB to the lowest 1GB. See link for plan.
M1 – Currently have not announced any changes to be made to their mobile plans.
Anyway, if you are lucky to have free wifi in your company use it. If not, Be prepare to start limiting the amount of 3G usage from now on.
When 4G to be announced with 4x speed of 3G. Now with the reduction of data plans being reduced. We might as well go back to the old era of downloading only Text messages or Emails for corporate usage.
What’s the point of having high speeds when you are limited by the amount of data you can download. We have to be fair for people who really uses it for useful purposes.
Some people are using it to download or stream movies. This is the main resource hogs. Why don’t the ISP limit or throttle the bandwidth for high users. Don’t make all of us suffer because of this people.

Nowadays branded PC manufacturers will need you to provide the hardware serial and the hardware serial to allow you to claim for warranty.
You can use the spiceworks to scan for your serial. But you cannot scan for your Monitors and mouse equipment.
You have no choice but to print labels for your Monitors and mouse or other equipment that is not traceable via the network.

I had trouble moving the file server files because of the amount of files to be transferred need to be checked for consistency.
I do not want to waste time to ensure that the file being transferred is verified.
You can use Teracopy to copy and let it do the transferring.
