singapore power did the trial liao

now waiting for them to officially announce to trash the whole project or to launch in near future

kaobeikaobu SG

trial run a few years back…nt really successful.

Parka SG

It was actually a success. And the cost of delivery is lower than other ISPs.

But it wasn't out because of freaking business politics. No prizes for guessing who was against Singapore Power.

findingnewidea SG

singapore power is too ambitious liao

this aztech one is ready to use already. just buy it from the shelf and go.

ditzy SG

So cool hor? If it works, I can surf the net while using my computer at the same time! Laughing

Xcert SG

har?am I missing something here?

I tot singapore power need to modulate the internet signals into its ac supply....then we can buy the device off the shelf and use...

as of now...singapore power hasnt done so

findingnewidea SG

nolah, you are really missing something

connect it to your adsl or cable modem, then plug into the wall socket. Another computer in another room can plug into the socket to gain network access..

FireIce SG

i using home wireless.......

no need plug here plug there

findingnewidea SG

surfing net is good enough with wireless network, but not with online gaming leh...

FireIce SG

ISP is also a factor contributing to latency lah…

bksianzz SG

wifi is not as stable as the adapter… this adapter is useful for homes which are big and wifi signal not vv good

chenc SG

A good Wifi can well send signals over a distance of a 100m diametre. Now is your house that big?

bksianzz SG

ca send over 100m but by the end of 100m the signal is vv weak.. and plus the house got so many walls... so are u telling me if there are 50 walls in between 100m u still can receive wifi signal? anyway the box tok cock only....
i use at my house, my bro room few meters away but has 3 walls in between, the signal is not vv stable lor
