M1 Broadband & Starhub Fibre TV

Currently I am on M1 Home Broadband & Starhub Cable TV. In order to watch Starhub Cable TV I need to switch from Starhub Cable to Starhub Fibre?
Does that mean I need to terminate all my M1 Broadband Services?

Don't need. Fiber usually allow for 2 ports. U have m1 and Starhub can come to install their fiber.

Same, my cable contract ended early April, so i recontracted on 2nd week of April, their 2 appt, the later second one is late april and contract only commence after 2 appt are completed

And so I have to pay the rental box subscription (payable after end of contract) for 1 month despite signing contract on 2nd week of April

Same... the good thing is that the benefits that were advertised were given to me at the day of sign up

It's just that now the old contract is still running because too many people making too many appointments

my m1 fibre connected to the internet port in yellow. so I just plug in starhub fibre to any ethernet port and it should work?

No you have to plug it in LAN port 1 (next to yellow) and restart the ONT. Then it works.

Hmm, you have both Starhub and M1 Fibre? In that case you will need one router for Starhub and another router for M1.

M1 ONT -- M1 Netgear Router
Starhub ONT -- Starhub Linksys router

There are higher end router which can combine two fibre internet into one. They need to have two WAN ports.

If your router has Dual WAN feature like my ASUS AC88U router then u can run two fibre on one router. Just enable
Dual WAN on the router and select one of the LAN port on the router as the second WAN port in the router setting. Then plug the cable in accordingly. If your router is single WAN then you need one router for each isp. The problem may be your router do not have dual WAN. For M1 alone any router can be used but running 2 isp on one router is another thing which required a dual WAN router.

For this, both modem goes into ethernet then the console outputs to router? How does this work?

I presume the advantage is you can access to the better Internet? Also have flexibility in terms there is no down time?

Currently my Data Point at the TV is using M1. In this case, most likely I would need to cancel Starhub Cable TV after 30 Jun.
Just wonder now how to connect current TV to watch local channels? Would there be any android box which could watch local channels? Maybe see could get DTV Starter Kit from IMDA?
