Found a nice little apartment in Novena
As a gamer and gaffer comes of course the important act of choosing the right internet provider...
The apartment already has a fiber access point thingy.
Currently I'm thinking about Starhub's 1Gbps package offer:
http://www.starhub.com/personal/broadband/fibre-broadband/price-plans.html
I realize that the speeds will be (internationally) much slower than advertised (but still pretty fast), is there any reason to not got with Starhub?
My situation:
- I don't need a combined mobile package. Have a Singtel prepaid card, won't get a monthly plan any time soon as I barely make calls and don't need much data either (currently 3GB prepaid but could get lower easily).
- interested in high download and especially high upload speeds. Mostly need it for PS4 related stuff. Probably useless via wireless though?
- I likely won't get TV/cable so I'm interested in that offer to use Starhub Go Select for free, like for Game of Thrones or something. Do I miss some fine-print here?
Total price seems pretty good if I understand the offer correctly (6x$0 + 18x$50).
Not very comfortable about the two years, but I doubt I will leave Singapore before that (and assuming relocation of the contract is painless).
One thing I can't seem to find in the T&C is for how long the contract is auto-renewed after 2 years, another two years? My work contract is currently only for 3 years.
Oh and I'll move in on the 29th. Should I even bother with the internet subscription before that or wait till I moved in?
