45KB/s or 360Kb/s is what you get from wireless@sg, although its widely publicised at 1Mbp/s. General surfing, blogging, youtubing is acceptable but bandwidth throughput is unstable, ranging from 2KB/s to 80KB/s, and what the heck, its free! If you want better speed and stability, try Starhub MaxOnline Premium 12Mbps, you should get download speeds at 1500KB/s but SGD$60 poorer every month. While downloading stuff using wireless@sg, I tried upload a 126 KB jpg file and the upload failed twice. After halting all my downloads and downsize the jpg file to 88KB, I managed to upload to tinypic but its damn slow. Did a speedtest at speedtest.net, upload speeds only register a miserable 0.1Mb/s.
Confused of the units associated with data transfer rate? Check out details at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_rate_units
