M1 FIBRE BROADBAND DISCUSSION - Part 2

[tweeety]

Have u try to login and see the if the promo is available for u?
Coz my colleague told me he did not receive the email, but when he login and see what are the options for recontract, both 6 and 10 plans promo are available for him to select..

u mean using the M1+ app isit?

my address cannot choose the 6gbps plan.

 

[Griggs]

If you are a new subscriber then the price is $34.90 which you can just apply on their website without any discount code. Just choose the 6gbps plan.

I think if you pick BT10 have to pay additional $12 per mth.

Yeah that's why I was asking if any new subscribers managed to get the recontract price instead of the new sub price.

I just called M1. They say cannot upgrade or re-contract as need 5 months before contract expire then can re-contract.

Then no choice just wait till 5 months before contract end date. It is OK as the price will be cheaper next time.

 

[Henry Ng]

Indeed the calculation is not correct.

1) ISP needs to pay NLT per user S$13.50 per month, so it is in general impossible to offer S$15 or even S$20 per month Fibre Internet service (with GST). The previous lowest price plan was from WC and SIMBA for 2.5Gbps at S$21.80 per month, but both have raised the price later.

Reference:
https://www.dbs.com.sg/treasures/ai...t/data/en/DBSV/052024/NETLINK_SP_05202024.xml

Residential connection continues to be the key contributor at 60% of revenue in 4Q24 (60% in 3Q24). In 4Q24, NLT’s residential fibre connection increased to 1.507mn from 1.501mn in 3Q24 while non-residential fibre connections increased to 53.5k from 53.2k. From April 2024, residential connection pricing was lowered by 2% to S$13.50 per connection while non-residential is unchanged at S$55 per connection.

2) Router bulk purchase price will be much lower. In fact M1 is offering TP-Link Archer BE805 at S$360 (S$15 x 24) with PWP. M1 is also offer a pair of Asus ZenWiFi BT10 at S$504 (S$21 x 24). So we know the cost price by M1 for Archer BE805 is lower than S$360. Same two ZenWiFi BT10 cost to M1 is less than S$504.

We do not know the exact cost price for Archer BE230 to M1 though. I guess it will be about S$240 for Archer BE805 (assume M1 marks up 1/3 for PWP offer). In that case, M1's base cost for 6Gbps plan (with Archer BE805) is estimated to be S$13.5+S$10 = S$23.50 per month for 6Gbps plan without considering other cost. M1's pricing at S$32.90 (recontract offer) or S$34.09 per month (new user offer) does not earn much money for M1 but will not lose money either.

Yes I think you are right, they earn a bit each user only. NLT earlier charged $15+ per month.

Hello, sorry if it’s a dumb question.
For the first appointment for delivery, what are they delivering? Is it ok to deliver to another address from where the ONT will be installed and activated? As i’m only getting keys next month, don’t wish to miss this deal from M1

My guess only: M1 6Gbps/10Gbps plans will be available to all users by end June 2025.

This is based on the note mentioned by M1.

https://shop.m1.com.sg/fbb/plans-bundles/fbb-plan?plan=HOMEPAC_6GBPS_24
Note: If you plan to move your address by June 2025, we recommend signing up for our 1Gbps or 2.5Gbps plans.

If you have a spare TP port, you can. Every household should have 2 ports, one is currently used by SH. I would suggest you to wait, as prices are coming down recently. There would have better prices in the near future.

[ShockTard]

Imagine with all these expensive wifi-7 routers, the 6gbps plan can be as low as $34.90

The price will drop significantly in the future when everyone got their own wifi-7 routers.
