Where are the places in Singapore that I can connect to wireless broadband free? I tried Suntec and Changi airport, there are wireless signal from Starhub but it requires member id.....

is it free? i tried to connect to the local wireless network in MacDonald's Funan, and all of them require userID..
i found a place that i can surf for free.. Wheelock place, 2nd level, i think it's NYDC, the cafe just opposite apple centre. It wasn't there that i surf, but at Sakae Sushi around 20-30m away from it.
The network i chose was the cafe name.. Signal wasn't full strengh but it's still broadband! Did you connect to Skynet Globel or Singnet? Once connected in the Skynet, you'll see a flash app. of multi-coloured balloons. Skip the balloons, key in your name, email and you are ready to surf!behyx said:is it free? i tried to connect to the local wireless network in MacDonald's Funan, and all of them require userID..

Last year the whole place was wireless enabled, not sure about now.
Only tried the cafes, and it worked there.

Well, I was surfing at Wisma's and Chinatown Point's Mac just last saturday, I got in FOC
You have to select SSID skynetglobal, if it doesn't load, type in http://login.com/ it should direct you to the flash page for login. Just enter anything to login.
NYDC @ Wheelock place is also FOC, the SSID is nydc-freewireless or something, I picked up the signal whilst sitting @ Coffee Bean, but rather weak.
As for Funan, I believe there's wireless throughout the entire place, but according to Acidbyte, only 2 hours of use allowed :dunno:
I'm still sourcing for more FOC points, Macs are good, but fattening + expensive :bsmilie: Everytime I surf, I sure buy a drink and sit there relax. :bsmilie:

Starhub is no longer free, they require you to purchase 'access'.Wai said:starhub not free anymore
If only they have wireless everywhere, then I don't mind subscribing as I can be on the go.
I also sourced a wireless network whilst on bus 88 from Pasir Ris side to the expressway :bsmilie:
This wireless network thingie is fun :bsmilie: at the moment that is ;p

i think singnet BB customer can use singtel wireless network FOC
but i am paying like $200+ a mth to starhub for 2 x cable modem and 3 x mobileline...yet they still want another $10/mth to use wireless BB :angry:
u want wireless everywhere? then use GSM or 3G network lor
I am on singnet broadband, but most places I go there are only starhub signal, not many places have singnet signal...Wai said:
i wonder how well would 3G take off...
surfing by handphone is so expensive right now as it is...using GPRS...
100kb = $1?
my bill for surf Starhub, 16mb of data...i got charged for $160+....kaoz...i was shocked when i received my bill. :angry:
I stayed away from using it this month...if this gonna be expensive for 3G, i don't think it will be popular. Anybody know the costs for 3G? :sweat:

Wai, got 2 x cable modem? What on earth are you doing with it, which can serve up to 8 stations! Are you doing some business, some website? Just curious.
Wireless broadband effective distance is about 10m right? So I dont really need to sit inside Starbucks, just sit "near" to Starbucks and still can log in?espn said:Singnet have a few like Starbucks or CoffeeBean and/or Spinellis
