No need to plug in internet?

 

Anyway I would just give up on the "box" once it starts giving problems.

 

With so many good channels already closed, really no point to continue "subscription" to the "box" :D

 

wife's colleague using the "new" one, which do not need to plug in. Will ask for more info

I hope SH can offer fibre 200 mbps at $19.90

 

for people that don't need the latest and greatest

 

like me.

 

:D

SH must have read my post and just SMS me offering 1GBPS at $19.90 for 24 months.

 

Now I must check if fibre installation will be free.

 

That's the most important.

 

:D

Oh ok tks! Last time the Mio TV sales told me only can connect to Singtel Fibre Broadband so I kena con but then again for Fibre Broadband, most package price thereabouts so no diff I suppose but still don’t like to be told an untruth.

 

Not true. TV and broadband must be from same telco.

 

Mio TV work on Singtel broadband 

SH TV work on SH broadband or cable

That means what the Mio TV sales guy told me is true afterall but that also means that if u have 2 pay TV boxes, u will need 2 Different broadbands which in turn means additional costs which was what my noob question in my original post was all about.

My understanding is you can have SH fibre TV without the BB

 

and you can have BB from any other company.

If you go to ST website you can order just Mio TV

 

without getting their BB.

Wow 2 different versions on extreme ends of the ruler n even our bros in this thread don’t seem to have a consensus on whether or not need separate broadbands or not.

 

So my noob question not so noob afterall. Anyway tks for replying!

Income opportunity. Nothing wrong to collect more $$$ [:p]

 

Subscription is the trend now. Microsucks software also using this method to ensure continuous future income. One day car maker will also do it. Pay annual subscription or your car will not start. :grin:

 

No leh....

OIC so if just want SH TV have to buy the BB as well

 

and if want to Mio TV also have to buy BB from them as well.

 

Wow that like paying for the duplicate service we don't need.

That's what it looks like to me.

It's all got to do with the Op-Co, as StarHub and Singtel are on different Op-Co now, so will need to have their own ONT. As there is only a pair of fiber coming in to your house through the Net-Co which will only terminate to either 1 coy's Op-Co. Used to be able to share as when this NGNBN was roll out by the govt, there is only 1 Op-Co but after the funding is over, each coy start up their own Op-Co.

Yeah, but it is a piece of essential equipment in order to receive the content I subscribed.

 

It's like saying I have a choice to not rent the set top box and choose to only subscribe to the service. <_<

 

I was thinking with the competition abound these days, at the least they could have absorbed the rental fees or assimilate the rental fees into the monthly subscription rate rather than an outright "base charge"
