im a malaysian citizen residing in johor bahru...i just want to know is it possible to subscribe to a isp in singapore and use it in JB...their internet speed is amazing and the price is cheap,compared to malaysia...

anyone got solution pls help
currently dissapointed with malaysia broadband..soo slow n expensive

Of course not possible

what about their mobile broadband services?
any posibility?

You can try their mobile broadband services. I'm pretty sure the seafront area can get most if not all Singapore mobile BB providers. I was able to get Starhub 3G's signal on consistent strength when I was staying in Taman Unviersiti in SKudai.

You will need a Singapore address to sign up for their postpaid mobile BB; you don't want their prepaid mobile BB because it is significantly more expensive, even when compared to Malaysian providers.

Tried with Starhub & Singtel from JB hotels. You have to be in JB town centre, as close as possible to Woodlands.

Thx for the info guys..i think i wanna do sum experiment myself...
i wanna try the M1 prepaid plans 1st see if can get line in my place..i stay near the causeway..if got line then i will change to M1 mobile broadband n get the 21mbps plans soo cheap

M1 prepaid mobile broadband
3 days $18 - 7.2mbps no data quota

M1 mobile broadband
1mbps $15.69
2mbps $27.10
4mbps $35.95
7.2mbps $41.58
21mbps $59.40

wow! this is really very attractive.
with S$15.69/month (M$36.1/month) you can get 1mbps download speed and unlimited data volume. (never mind the 2 years contract)
i see from the M1 website - this is the broadband postpaid package without the need to have the voice postpaid.
( Link to M1 data plans )

is not possible la bro,i'm also Johorian and live at Tampoi, i know singapore the service is fast and reliable price but too many malaysia the only isp that is fast i know in JB area is TM but their service is freaking sucks to the max.

Good idea,around the kastam area or nearby 1km+ or so still can receive the line
Tampoi...im not sure

Even if can reach your area, you think they will give support in case of technical issues?

like what?

you think he can't go back to singapore to fix it?

have fun guys !

Are you sure ?? I just studying in UTM if work I also want to apply

This will not be possible unless Streamyx has some joint-venture with singapore broadband. Well Politically wise, it wont happen any time in future

ya lolx.. I think so ..It wont happen d

try and find out with your HSDPA / 3G modem.

I just used mobile phone try it . cant find any Singapore network ..

i've tested M1 prepaid broadband got reception in stulang
connection also very fast...im amazed right now

Do a speed test and post the result here.



Well, what can I say.

Just now, i was using M1 prepaid broadband (am now in Singapore).
visiting forum.lowyat.net.
but than i open the http://translate.google.com to translate an English word and after that it show "Sorry, we are unable to process your request."
Tried many time but the firefox browser keep showing the following page!



Lucky i also has Starhub prepaid broadband. But for Starhub, sometime it cannot open website also.
(addition info)
Singtel also have prepaid broadband but it is too expensive (S$18 for 3 continues day) so am not going to get the Singtel's prepaid broadband.

Singapore mobile broadband is not really reliable if you compare to their wired service. Last time i used M1 mobile Broadband, cannot use P2P DL coz it will cause my PC to blue screen.

hello, i'm going to stay near hospital sultanah aminah, is it possible to get sg line there?

possible.

Hospital sultanah aminah is very near the border.
Definitely you are able to get Starhub, Singtel and M1 mobile 3G broadband
I suggest Starhub mobile prepaid broadband because it cost is lowest compare to M1 and Singtel.
But why not use Maxis or Celcom or Digi or U mobile? You can just buy the package in Malaysia and no need to cross over to Singapore to get the package.

i realised that but from what i've read, the malaysian broadbands are really unstable i was hoping to get better service from singapore

i have 3G long range directional antenna - 16dbi yagi available now...

with this 3G antenna definitely help to achieve much better connectivity to remote SG 3G if ppl stay close ...

can take a look here: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f=155&t=1731077
