Ahoy there Geeks, Singapore a Calling

Port of Spain , Ye matey can forget it, for the Pirate Port of Singapore dangles the Geeks and Pirates with something much, much more attractive to the Geek, More Bandwidth!

What Bandwidth? Starhub had their NEW MAXONLINE package…with 100 Megabits Broadband for a special offer of $108 a month using DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem, and if you get the modem (obviously you do have to buy it) , a HP IPAQ awaits ye mateys!

It’s one thing to have 30Mbps broadband, but to offer 100 Megabits Broadband, heck …I would surely need to change my routers and my NIC (network card) to the Gigabit type in order to enjoy that kind of speed. Imagine whacking someone on the head when playing network based World of Warcraft and other RPG Games like Doom or downloading movies of iTunes!!

HEESH! I could even ready myself to setup as an ISP with that kinda bandwidth, even a dedicated or a VPS Server hosted in the US won’t give you that bandwidth for you to play and tag along.

I am crying right now… because of Singapore’s latest promos…asking us R&D Geeks to come back home… and with more than 100Terabytes of Bandwidth available between the region and the Continental US and Pacific, I really , really, have to think about this…..

Ye…it’s a rat race…again, but at the income I am making… I could get away with more Tax Credit funding….and grants.

Singapore, a place I still call home. My port of call.

Would you??? Overseas Singaporeans??

    This was great! What do you think about Singapore, beyond bandwidth, for a well behaved expatriating–or simply traveling for an extended period–American(US)?
