M1 telco coverage in Singapore, from broadband and fibre plans to APN settings.
Sharing a good cause: M1, SingTel and StarHub, with Ericsson's IPX, are letting post-paid customers donate $5, $10 or $20 by SMS to aid Japan's disaster victims. All three telcos are waiving their administration fees.
I've put together a comparison of the Next Gen NBN fibre price plans from Singapore's three telcos, SingTel, M1 and StarHub, plus SuperInternet. It covers download and upload speeds, international bandwidth and pricing, from M1's 25Mbps plan at S$39 upwards.
A quick reference for mobile data APN settings across Singapore's telcos: SingTel uses e-ideas or internet, StarHub uses shinternet, shwapint or shwap with a proxy, and M1 uses sunsurf. Most leave the username and password fields blank.
Some media reports note 3G connectivity issues with the Nexus One on M1 and StarHub in Singapore. SingTel customers shouldn't be affected, as the phone auto-connects to their network, perhaps hinting that SingTel may officially bring in the Nexus One.
From tomorrow, Singaporeans can surf with a new fixed broadband service from M1. Having offered mobile broadband since 2006, M1 becomes a full-fledged broadband player with the launch of M1 Fixed Broadband, broadening competition in the local home internet market.
