Curious, where in Singapore do you live? Last time I tried Prime, it usually took a few days for them to ship my stuff, even with Prime listings that were fufilled by Amazon SG. To be fair, it was a year or so ago, so maybe things have changed, but I thought that next-day shipping was only a US thing 🤷‍♂️

Looks like Amazon wants to close off this year with yet another rent-seeking episode. Thankfully I don't use Amazon, but my parents still pay for Prime specifically for their streaming service, so this is going to be very annoying for them :/

I'd be interested to know what the actual speeds will be outside of these pilot cities, and internationally. I've seen 10Gbps plans being advertised in my country recently, but they hide the fact that the international speeds are around 2 Gbps. (Still pretty fast, but definitely not worth the cost!)

A better question, actually: Who's the target audience for this? Unless you routinely transfer terabytes of data daily, I don't see why you would need anything more than 1 or 2 Gbps - and if you do need to transfer that much data, wouldn't it be more cost-effective to lease dark fibre instead?

I don't think so, it's clearly an ironically hyperbolic statement

Wow, a car stereo with a large display like that is surprisingly advanced for 1985! I wonder if this is really a CRT, or a multi-segment display made to look like one
