SingTel decided to tell its customers the sad truth about mobile internet - and motivate them to buy a new premium service, if they wish to see their data moving faster. The operator announced "..the launch of Asia’s first premium priority mobile broadband service .. Named Priority Pass, SingTel’s premium priority mobile broadband service offers faster and more reliable Internet connectivity on the move. Customers enjoy priority for their data traffic when the network is heavily loaded, thus ensuring smoother streaming and downloads".

To tell subscriber why they need it, SingTel bravely published " the typical speeds of its mobile broadband services. The table below outlines the typical range of speeds that customers can expect 80% of the time. SingTel has also renamed its 3.6Mbps, 7.2Mbps and 21Mbps USB modem-based services as Classic 3.6, Priority 7.2 and Premium 21 respectively .. As with all wireless technologies, the range of speeds and experience is dependent on several factors"
