<!-- end left side bar --> <!-- story content : start --> USERS who surf the web on the go will soon get faster Internet access from StarHub. The telco will be progressively upgrading its mobile broadband network to the dual carrier frequency technology which will allow for data download speed of up to 42.2Mbps, double the maximum speed on the current network. 'StarHub is excited that it will soon be able to manage even larger volumes of data traffic and continue to support the highest HSPA speeds available in Singapore, to meet the growing demand for broadband access on the move,' said Peter Cook, Starhub's vice-president of integrated network engineering on Tuesday. With the implementation of the network upgrade, Starhub has become the first mobile operator in Southeast Asia to deploy the dual carrier technology. The upgrade to its mobile broadband network is expected to be fully completed by the third quarter of this year, said a statement from StarHub.

They ENHANCED it by adding a few more seconds to your waiting time by telling you 1688 is enhanced.

Fuckers at ShitTel going all out to irritate callers.

i remember asking them to cancel my houseline many years back, that fucker on the phone refuse citing all kinds of silly technical reasons why is it not possible. i got fed up and fuck him back,

eg.

he tried to smoke me saying my internet connection will be cancelled. My reply: i am a starhub cable user. YET HE INSIST IT WILL AFFECT MY INTERNET CONNECTION. saying cable also uses phoneline. this is where i lose my cool and start to fuck him as i know he is trying taking me as an idiot;

"we are the one now who do not wish your services anymore who the fuck are you forcing me to want it?"
there are many other silly excuses he gave thinking all the customers are technologically stupid but it happened too many years ago so i had forgotten most of it. but this remains the most vivid.

anyone working in singtel pls look into the fucking quality of your call centre. is lying part of the tactic you guys encourage your call personnel to do?
honestly fuck you

They are probably hoping that you are using a prepaid or by-the-minute postpaid line of theirs when you call them.
Making you wait will add to their revenue.
