In this episode of TGIS, Joanne-Marie uncovers more on what broadband access (http://info.singtel.com/personal/internet/home-broadband/fibre-broadband) is all about and speaks with some of Singapore's unsung heroes of the Internet. For starters, Joanne heads to a Main Distribution Frame room (MDF room) and chats with Leslie find out more about how he and his team provide connection to all home users. Next, Joanne is led to a manhole and manages to sneak a peek at all the hard work that goes in to wiring Singapore up. Mr. Goh shares with us on how these fibre cables are installed with a "rotan" (Malay word for "rattan") and tells us a few of his experiences on what goes on below the surface. From encounters with snakes to ghost stories, a job like this is definitely more than thrilling than it looks! Caleb from SingTel's product development department enlightens us on the benefits of using fibre broadband such as the luxury of surfing the Internet at light speed and the convenience of bringing various telecommunication services to the consumer's home.
