Ok, so its either singtel or starhub for me. But i notice compared to m1, singtel and starhub charges for registration and sim card whereas m1 just charges 8 dollars recently for those i mentioned. Hows the speed for the 2mb line for starhub mobile broadband? I hope it isnt as crappy as the landline i currently using from my landlord.

Plus i worried about singtels 50gb cap per month on download usage. Can you actually play online games with mobile broadband? wont there be terrible lag?

they usually give you free registration and sim card nowadays.
please check singtel latest offerings.
not sure about starhub.

i do play teamfortress 2 quite often, sometimes will get dced but nothing serious.
my line is 2mbps and i stay east side.

i have 2mbps starhub mxmobile and the  1mbps (50gb) singtel as well but for some reason i get disconnected a lot at peak hours (thats for Starhub). I play a lot of COD4 on it and getting pings like 150-200ms and ya i know its pretty crap. But if u are playing games like WOW or DOTA i guess there is no worry about it. For Singtel i use it for my 3G phone outdoors but sometimes i use the phone as modem whenever the starhub mobile screws me up. Overall the stability is better but i cant seem to get it to play a game on pc when i use the phone as the modem. So i am guessing the ping is about 100ms. BTW i stay in the north east.

my average ping is around 110ms for Teamfortress 2.
other online games i tried so far: maplesea and cabal both also no lag.

But now i currently using my landlord broadband quite sucky. Eventhought speedtest.net give me 8mb line, it feels more like 512kbps line.

Who willing to paid to get PR like that..
The conditions to become PR: your salary at least 2k and they work for more than few years( not really remember how many year is) in same company because is you employer apply for you. So work hard and treat you boss as well

not really.
my friend salary was below 2k when he got the PR.
his job: aircraft engineer (starting from trainee and 8 years contract)
