      Connectivity is good, but the problem is, the survey about speeds.

      Most of us will have at least a dial up or broadband connection, but we don't have great speeds like in other countries.

      They could still have scaled up the bandwidth to match the density mah.

      lets move to japan.....hooooooo.....

      you wan check your broadband speed go http://www.speedtest.net/

      My speed on 12:29 Singapore time.....
      Singapore server: download speed:11067kbps
      upload speed:297kbps
      ping:53ms

      If i go Washington server:download speed:697kbps
      upload speed:207kbps
      ping:354ms

      If i go London server:download speed:1446kbps
      upload speed:202kbps
      ping:715ms

      If i go Tokyo server:download speed:1932kbps
      upload speed:268kbps
      ping:369ms

      If i go Sydney server:download speed:1411kbps
      upload speed:277kbps
      ping:435ms

      If i go Jakarta server:download speed:2668kbps
      upload speed:311kbps
      ping:64ms

      WTF sia i dunno about time factor but last time i got check my downloadspeed at all other servers expt JKT and Spore was are 2500 and the ping should be less also......

      I hear japan is doing rnd on gbps broadband speed.....if spore dun use it when it comes out....i dunno wot else to say

      The problem is overseas bandwidth.

      Japan and Korea both consume relatively little overseas bandwidth.

      If you want to compare, a more accurate comparison would be with Australia in one of the big cities.

      duh.. compare your 'densely population' to 'connection ratio' & 'number of broadband connection ratio' to the other top ten countries..

      connectivity poor becuz its densely populated..? gimme a break lar..

      It's easier to deploy broadband to densely populated areas. It's expensive to bring broadband to rural areas. Usually, revenue from densely populated areas is used to subsidize broadband deployment to rural areas.

      The cost of overseas bandwidth is the main problem.
