Starhub is not IPv6 ready, I am guessing it is the same for M1 or SingTel. You can test it at http://test-ipv6.com/. Feel free to post your ISP results in the comments =)

Summary

  • No IPv6 address detected
  • World IPv6 day is June 8th, 2011. No problems are anticipated for you with this browser, at this location.
  • You appear to be able to browse the IPv4 Internet only. You will not be able to reach IPv6-only sites.
  • Your DNS server (possibly run by your ISP) appears to have no access to the IPv6 Internet, or is not configured to use it. This may in the future restrict your ability to reach IPv6-only sites.
  • 10/10 – for your IPv4 stability and readiness, when publishers offer both IPv4 and IPv6
  • 0/10 – for your IPv6 stability and readiness, when publishers are forced to go IPv6 only

Just sharing a good cause by our local telecos. All administration fees will be waived by them as well.

Singapore, 28 March 2011 – The three mobile network operators in Singapore – M1, SingTel and StarHub, and Ericsson’s global mobile commerce enabler IPX are pleased to announce that post-paid mobile customers in Singapore will be able to make a $5, $10 or $20 donation to aid victims of the Japan disaster by sending an SMS to the common short-code 78888. Donations will go towards the Singapore Red Cross Society’s relief efforts in Japan. This mobile donation campaign will continue for one month, starting from 6am on 28 March 2011 till midnight on 25 April 2011.

M1, SingTel, StarHub and Ericsson, which provides the technical solution, have jointly agreed to waive all administration fees associated with such premium SMS, and forward the full proceeds to the relief organisation.
The donations will be reflected in customers’ next monthly bill from their respective mobile service providers.
Donation details:

Mr Lim Theam Poh, Director of Operations and Head of International Services of the Singapore Red Cross Society, said, “We are grateful to the mobile industry in Singapore for coming together in support of the Singapore Red Cross Society’s relief efforts to aid the victims of the Japan catastrophe. Many Singaporeans have approached us to volunteer their assistance, and financial contributions are the best way to help, especially in an international disaster. The popularity of text messaging and the simplicity of the SMS donation channel will allow us to harness the compassion and generosity of Singaporeans and turn it into positive action for the disaster victims.”

Notes

  1. All price stated for SingTel and SuperInternet includes 7% GST. I am unsure about the stated price for M1 and Starhub.
  2. SingTel has 2 plans for 200Mbps Fibre, the one I stated is the cheaper one.
  3. SingTel bundle lots of crap to their Fibre plans, you will need to check their site for more information.
  4. M1 did not state their International Speed and Installation Fee.
  5. If you are going to reference it on your website or blog, please give the credits where it is due =)
