U know, I was really excited about Wireless@SG (the islandwide free WiFi). I signed up for an account with QMax (twice) and ICell. Got my funny looking free webcam from QMax too. But I've to say, I've been rather disappointed with Wireless@SG so far.
My friend and I were at Raffles City last weekend, trying out the free WiFi. 1st stop: BK at the basement. Very poor network, could hardly detect it. 2nd stop: Starbucks at the ground floor. Same story. We tried many times to login but keep ending up in Singtel's signup page. Finally, we decided to try the CitiLink and stopped by O'Briens. "Free Wireless!", beamed the signboard outside the cafe. Took out my huge & heavy Dell Inspiron 6000. Connecting to Wireless@SG... Nothing. Sianz. Then tried our luck with ICellNetwork... and it worked! Hey! I didn't even need my Wireless@SG account. I guess it wasn't totally useless. At least I got my free webcam. :P
