In the end we got the hou liu Mio Home 6 mbps on oct 2011 for sgd 49.90. hehe... now got HD entertainment at home although internet still not very fast at 6 Mbps. In dec 2012 we upgraded the mio home to 10mbps. In march 2013 i bought a samsung smart tv.....
Cheaper than my first sharp tv bog during feb 2010

Open net finally installed in june 2012. What a long wait for fibre. But fibre subscription of 100 Mbps is going to cost SGD 69.90. Fibre is getting cheaper by the day now 200 mbps just sgd 39.90.

 In 2013 I subscribe to starhub cable broadband with free hd setup box for 25 sgd for 30 Mbps. The speed was slow because of too many device connected to it. After Oct 2015 I terminated the starhub and no more hd content to watch. 

In the end got m1 fiber 100 Mbps for 29 sgd in Jul 2014. Not very fast but it will do for now until 2016. upgrade to  fibre 1 Gbps for 39 sgd in june 2016 ... Hehe big speed jump. Stick to m1 for 1 for 1 sunday movie at shaw

Flooding is nothing new in Singapore. I witness a few times.

Root cause: Water supply for washing machine not fixed properly.

Incident No.: FL-00D-002
Date: Dec 2010/ Jan 2011

Incident No.: FL-00D-003
Date: 29 June 2011
General Description: Most dramatic case so far, again caused by inferior fixture material.
Root cause: The sanitary spray rubber hose snapped. Water gush out from the hose. Stopped at 5.30pm when witness arrived at scene. Starting time unknown.
Damage: Water stain first noted at the front door step. Bedroom, living room & kitchen were all flooded. Plenty of dust & hair found in puddle. We believed those were accumulated at least for a year under the bed and sofa. 1 pair of totally wet GEOX shoes belong to witness found in front of shoe rack. Victim took 1 hours to mop the house.

By when will we have 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps internet

According to Open Net, 15% of the homes in Singapore will be fitted with next gen BB by end of 2009.
After that by March 2010 the high speed surfing should be operational. No more turtle speed and hopefully the cheapest plan will cost about SGD 25-30 for 100 Mbps hehe. By then our new home shd hv this service. Welcome to the age of HSBB :)
