Looking to install fresh DSL at my new house. Looking through the plans.
The $108/month plan gives me 10/1Mbps download/upload and along with the other rubbish (a wireless plan of dubious value) it gives me a free Windows Vista laptop.
Somehow if I give them $20 LESS per month, they give me the same 10/1 service and a MacBook instead of a Vista horror. Hahahah I would have paid $20 MORE to get a Mac rather than a dreaded Vista-encumbered unit. I guess I won’t tell them that.
Singtel also seems to be pushing some sort of on-demand television delivered over ADSL, called Mio TV. They’re giving away some sort of Tivo-like set-top box with it. I guess I’ll try it out. Their keeness in pushing this makes me suspicious, however.

Why does a laptop come with it at all? that’s somehow the standard come-on in Singapore? $88/mo * 36mo = $3168sgd, which is $2285usd. Well, that mac laptop is minimum $1000 usd! So what’s the deal?
yeah, not clear to me, either. Perhaps I’ll get the insult of, “now please by our $2,500 proprietary ADSL modem,” but I kind of doubt it. Someone wants to give me an apple laptop for my kitchen, then that’s fine with me.
