M1 FIBRE BROADBAND DISCUSSION - Part 2

[sword28]

How to get the recontract offer? I'm still using 500mbps, contract over but didn't receive any offers.

you can try login to your M1 account and recontract.
if you are entitled for the offer, no need to key in any redeem code, it will be there for you to choose
$13 for 10gpbs
$15 for 6 gpbs
choose the relevant one and select "Apply"

For sure you save quite a bit but not really S$1k as the Carousell BNIB price is now at about S$800 for a pair of ZenWiFi BT10. The price will drop further since more and more M1 users will dump them. Let's see when the price will drop to S$720 (probably soon) and or even S$600 (not so sure how soon).

Same for Archer BE805, it may soon drop to S$300 or even S$240 in the future (not so sure how soon). Listed price is at S$699 but it is sold at much lower price like S$360 BNIB in Carousell.

In any case the M1 6Gbps recontract offer (S$32.9 per month with free Archer BE805 or S$44.90 with a pair of ZenWiFi BT10) is a superb offer if you can get it.

You are absolutely correct..
Just stating the price from Asus official website.

[Guojing88]

Chiu can go to m1 page 6gbps and selecting existing customer + recontract then login to see if got the $13/$15 discount per month. Alternatively chiu can go to m1 shop to get recontract.

 

[newsera]

If you don't see the promo code in your account, can M1 shop add them and recontract? Just wondering if its only for selected customers. My contract ending is May last week. Anyone here got promo for their contract ending during that time? I am already eligible for recontract.

UPDATE: called M1 and they confirmed that the offers were mainly targeted at people whose contract expired or expiring soon.

Thanks Xiaofan for your helpful comments! I recontracted online successfully last Thursday.

The delivery company may get congestd due to high demands - a lady called me yesterday afternoon and asked to reschedule to last night. I got their OTP code around 6:15 PM and thought they would come on time. At 7:00 PM, I missed a call from their hotline. Immediately when I called back, it became auto voice and said I need to rescedule. I was confused and thought they would try to deliver the router last night. Waiting until 10:30 PM still no one knocked my door. Have to reschedule to next Monday...

Successfully re-contracted to 6gbps plan, my ONT was originally scheduled to be installed next Monday 27 Jan. Received a call from installer to ask if he can come to install today, I said yes and it's now installed. Lots of jiuhu going back Malaysia, so he has to tong the ONT installations

Sadly, my desktop has a 2.5g port and maxed out at 2.5gbps.

On the other hand, I use my S23 Ultra and got 1.6gbps download speed on wifi 7

Is your house ready for 6Gbps or you can just sign up without checking?

Anyway, the promo price of $32.90 for 6Gbps is much cheaper than recontract directly to the 2.5Gbps of $39.90. Maybe can consider using back an old router which support max 2.5Gbps rather than using the TP BE805 since you can’t utilise 6Gbps anyway

Yes, my house is ready. If it's not ready, you are unable to proceed to re-contract or sign up.

I just use the TP BE805, will slowly upgrade my network equipment. Currently, my desktop LAN card is 2.5, will probably get a 10g from taobao.

 

[bombshell]

If money is not an issue, better to choose BT10 over BE805? Whats the diff?

Managed to get 6Gpbs with ASUS ZenWiFi BT10 (Pack of 2). $44.90 per month. Planning to sell of BT10 (pack of 2) and continue with Velop router wifi 5.

********************************************************
Why it says "24mth 6Gbps at $32.90/mth, valid for recontract on 24-month 6Gbps plan" and "No, continue withour router" ?

Tried with both TP-Link Archer BE805 and ASUS ZenWiFi BT10 (Pack of 2). Is it now possible now to get 6Gpbs with ASUS ZenWiFi BT10 (Pack of 2) and pay extra?

If your desktop has empty PCIe x 4 slot, you can buy 10G NIC based on Intel chipset from Taobao at pretty low price.

If you only have PCIe x 1 slot, then you can buy 5Gbe network adapter at pretty low price as well from Taobao.

thank you for information xiaofan. The PCIe slot is 1 for 1 replace 2.5g for the 10gbe nic right ?

setup connect the BE805 to

I received my BE805 on Thursday, never set up as I wanted to set it up upon ONT installations. Just now the installer ask, eh why you never use your BE805 immediately, other people are all excited use the new router liao.

Maybe he go by area. My original installation date is Monday 10am to 12pm. Surprised he called me around 11am just now and ask if can come down today. When the installer is on the way, M1 will send you an SMS with tracking link. You can see the person current location live. Like foodpanda ordering food, can see location
