But something is preventing me to load the page i'm browsing. I need to press my browser's refresh button for 5-10x before the page could load properly .... i agree with seraphim, the glowing stories (read. propaganda) in newspapers make me sick.

Malaysian government used to embrace hand-off approach but with incidents happened they have start to follow Singapore approach now. Security is something that one it had happened, it would be too late! In fact, I did not face any problem in registration and login. In fact, though it is still available in the limited area, the speed is adequte for me to read some cnn new and check my hotmail.

I am a Singnet Outdoor Wireless surf customer who have been regularly using the Singtel wireless network at my neighbourhood library. Since the launch, the old Singtel wireless network seems to have been integrated into the Wireless@SG network and I experience very slow connection speeds, probably due to the high traffic. It appears that we PAYING customers are now lumped together with the rest of the Wireless@SG crowd. It makes me boil just reading all the glowing stories on the stellar take-up rate in the newspapers :( Amen Bjorn.

When I was in town waiting for friends, I was thinking of just surfing to check my mails, then as i started to register and stuff...giving all my private info and stuff...at the end of the day I still couldn't use the net!! Wasted almost an hr wasting my time and even though I registered, my login couldn't be used to surf... Definitely needs to fine-tune to be more user-friendly.
