Internet is the way to go these days. The internet paved way to the advancement in science, technology and interpersonal relationship. Without the internet, your paces will be slower and less innovative. Here in Singapore, internet is a part of the society and the people’s lives. In the past, people are just contented with the internet speed no matter how slow.

However, these days, the speed will either piss you or makes you happy. Either way, the speed is crucial that it can affect the experience of the users. Internet companies do their best to comply presenting different bundles with faster internet speed but people are never contented. There are countries that continue to improve their internet speed which in turn makes their people happy and satisfied.
