2GB data cap lai le

[Bystander50]

Better analogy will be a buffet line instead. Limited servings of food within the tray. All pay the same price.

 

U just need a few jokers to stack their plates mountain high, and there won't be enough to go around for the others.

 

Limit each serving to a set quantity per pax, and everyone will have an opportunity to eat the food. Everyone goes back happy, except for that few jokers.

 

For buffet line, they didn't specify the limit to how much you can take.

 

And by offering 12gb, you can't consider those who use close to 12gb as heavy users. It's their entitlement which they had paid for.

A heavy user would be one that goes beyond 12gb to the region of 20gb.

tat time tat siao kia go taiwan and clock 100 gb case????

I mean in Singapore...

That siao kia thinks his $10 plan is global coverage...

Think Malaysian Telco method is more fair.... they cap the 3G at certain usage limit.... once the limit reached. The user will experience lower bandwidth. By doing this way, users will enjoy unlimited usage but at the same time, the higher usage group will not be occupying all the bandwidth all the time...

 

Having to say that, I dont think our telco will do the same thing... they are implementing the new cap for $$$ rather than solving the problem...

 

singtel tried to do that in Australia and kenna sue.

so you are suggesting us, who dont use even 2 GB of the who data to subsidise you by paying same rate?

 

i will say, remove data plan altogether, then base on your need, chose the data plan to add on.

 

this is by far the best solution.

 

best if we can chose our own SMS allocation too.

I already said in my earlier posts, how does a light user subsidise a heavy user when everyone is paying the same rate?

Everyone still can access what they are intending to access.

Somehow I suspect that slowness are caused by infrastructure reaching it's limits and the telcos throttling the speeds.

 

I doubt telcos will allow us to create our own plans. All competitions are so fake.

if i dont need 12GB why am i been force to paying for 12 GB of data plan.

Go the prepaid way.

[Happily1986]

Go the prepaid way.

 

i would if they didn't sell prepaid mobile data plans like perishables. Expire in less than a week.

[Expertz]

actually, if you compare our plan to western countries, ours seem very generous liao...

 

eg: Australia Optus

 

singapore is very small, a single basestation can cover a radius of a few km easily thus a teleco will only need something like 30 basestations to cover the entire singapore

but to cover australia how many base stations will a teleco need?

 

plus take into consideration population density, a single base station here can serve a few thousand people at any single time easily, in australia the ROI will be far lesser

 

thus the higher price.

if you want to compare, pls do compare apples to apples. else it'd be like saying food in singapore is amongst the cheapest in the world

12. How many Mobile Phone Base Stations are there in Singapore and why are there so many Stations?

 

There are about 5,500 Mobile Phone Base Stations installed island-wide by Mobile Phone Service Providers to cater for users’ demand and to meet the IDA’s Quality of Service (“QoS”). Each base station has service coverage ranging between 500m and 2 km in radius.

 

Mobile phone base stations are needed for two reasons – coverage and capacity. To meet the demands from Singapore’s high mobile phone penetration rate of more than 100 per cent, ample base stations will be needed around the island to provide users with good coverage. If there is not enough capacity, then at peak periods, such as during the festive seasons, the network will be congested and you may not be able to receive calls, or may need to make several tries before being able to place a call.

not just saving money. if you have higher demand, you will go for their mobile broadband for Ipad instead of now, everyone going for duo sim system. which mean their mobile broadband is lossing money, meaning they are not earning for their Ipad either.

 

eliminate the duo Sim everyone is doing, they have a change that their mobile broadband might survice.

 

i don't see how this would reduce demand or how mobile broadband is losing money.

if i don't surf the internet using my ipad, i'll do so with my mobile phone. its not like i'll surf a single website on my ipad while loading the same website again on my mobile phone

 

so i don't understand how eliminating the dual sim would reduce my traffic consumption at all

i think you better dont post further. you obviously dont read the news.

 

I called SH yesterday and they say its starting likely in July. Smart surf 100 1 GB.

i was at the SH shop recontracting my line and i've verified that there isn't any plan to remove smart surf

SH has got operators in KL. next time you call in do check if the operator is singaporean

 

the KL side always give wrong information

Of course they didn't remove the plan. They are simply going to revise the bundled data cap imposed.
