At least it's not capped. Many wireless 3G internet service providers here charge about 20 bucks for a 3Gb cap. 3Gb!!!
A mere 3 Gb for the whole month!!! @%^^%*# [throw shoes]

And it's just about with anything sold here!


I just saw yahoo news that a Jaguar XF is sold about $54,000 presumably in US continent but here it definitely will sell for more than US$200,000

For comparison 50,000 will not even land you a BMW 3 series here. That will cost you more than US$60,000!



Another example is the Benz CLS

Sold in US continent for less than US$50,000 (to my knowledge) but sold here for about US$200,000

And if you see Ferrari or Lambo here you can be sure those people paid for it for about US$500,000...yes even the standard Gallardo or F430.


And ordinary cars cost too much too considering what you're getting and the prices in US continent!
It's not like we only have a ridiculous small piece of land like Singapore.....
And here you can get wireless, from $15 (12GB) per month,
