Anyone know what starhub promotion at the tech show in suntec ?

I have not been to an IT show for long time. Let's if there are any good Fibre Broadband deals.

On the other hand, from what I read, I believe you will not see any cheaper plans from Starhub (or SingTel or M1) than the S$29.55 per month special offer for Starhub 5Gbps.

From what I read, you will normally not get very good offers from IT shows for Broadband (or SIM Only mobile plans), if the goal is to have low cost.

If I am existing subscribers of 1gbps starhub broadband , can I proceed to starhub store to sign up for the $29.95 broadband plan ?

Currently starhub offer me 3gbps plan with 1 free linksys mx 2 and first 2 months free at $42 per month, is this a better offer ?
No. That is not a good deal at all.

Nokia XS-2426X-A ONR > Linksys MX2 > Nokia Beacon 2

Nokia ONR + Nokia Beacon 2 >> Linksys MX2

Nokia ONR + Nokia Beacon 2 (mesh) >?? Nokia ONR + Linksys MX2 in AP mode (not a mesh), different people may have different view here.

BTW, do you mean Starhub 5Gbps plan? Starhub has no 3Gbps plan as of now. Does you plan also come with Nokia ONR?

3gbps plan is their targeted offer to selected customers, which they offer me

I see. Then this is a super lousy offer (first 2 months free at $42 per month), compared to the S$29.55 per month ONT offer.

Linksys MX2 is only capable of 1Gbps, and not a very good one.

If all my device is using wireless does the 1 gbps vs the Nokia ONR 10gbps matter ?

So currently if I sign for this 3gbps , they offer me 1 free linksys mx2 , total I have 2 existing, which add up I have 3 linksys mx2 , is this setup better than the Nokia ONR + Nokia Beacon 2 ?

I will go with two SSID options and not the 3Gbps lousy offer in this case.

Nokia ONR + Nokia Beacon 2 --> Wireless SSID 1
Nokia ONR --> Linksys MX2 in AP mode, main mesh node (Linksys mesh in AP mode) -->Wireless SSID 2
Nokia ONR --> Linksys MX2 second mesh node (Ethernet Backhaul)

IMHO, this will be much better than three Linksys MX2 mesh.
ONT + Linksys MX2 x 3 mesh ==> total combined bandwidth of all wired and wireless devices at 1Gbps.

But anyway, if you are fine with the 3Gbps offer, go ahead, it is your money your choice.
