M1 FIBRE BROADBAND DISCUSSION - Part 2

[stonkogu]

Of course M1 offer is better.

The SingTel AX5400 WiFi 6 router is only capable of 1Gbps and is a junk grade wireless router with practically no resale value. It does not even work as a router with other ISP's ONT (only can function as an AP after another router).

Super! You're very helpful xiaofan, thank you.

I'm now eligible for recontract, tried 6Gbps but shows $44. Is there any way to become a "targeted customer" to get the 6G-plan at $32 or $34 with the free router? Thank you.

You don't see the $15 off voucher when logging in on the M6 plan page?

No. I'm using Samsung browser. Will try with other browsers.

I already send you the link alrdy right. Register new M1 ID which can tie to your mother's NRIC. you got try or not? I am thinking if you register and it has a nric field you need to fill up. surely if their system works as intended the broadband service should show up in the m1 id. Failing to show up, you can just call them to link up, no?
Everyone talking about cso being unreliable then you come in with this kind of mindset 'am I supposed to not believe them?'. really ah speechless, I give up. Dunno why you post to begin with.

Bruh, up till yesterday evening when I checked my mother’s contract status, I’d not been following on this thread’s M1 CSO woes … I’d already terminated my own home’s M1 broadband and signed up with Starhub in Jan because M1 was still showing not ready for 3G and above in my area (ironic however, that haven’t even receive my 1st Starhub bill, suddenly my area became ready). I only came in yesterday evening because somehow so zhun I call and check the contract status they tell me this was the last day of $15/month discount.

I had no reason to doubt because they were offering to talk me through the setting up of the M1 ID, but suddenly when they found out that my mother don’t have any other account / mobile phone account or email address on record then they say cannot be done.

Nonetheless, I appreciate your link, but I will try this when I am at my mother’s place tomorrow after I send my son to school so she is present with me when I try it out.

1) 6gb at $32.90 p/mth (sell BE805 for $300) -> effectively about $20.40 p/mth

or

2) 10 gb at $50.90 p/mth (sell BT10 for $700) -> effectively about $21.73 p/mth


It feels like might as well go for 10gb lol but its gonna be severely underutilized. But then it also makes me consider to keep the BT10 to replace my AX6000 + XT8 mesh setup. Although technically at the end of day, my 'heavier' devices like PC and NAS is limited to 1gbps ethernet ports and i don't think i wanna spend more just to upgrade more bottleneck parts.

I went to the M1 shop, re-contracted, collected the BE805 router, but still no contract email in my inbox and M1 app still shows my previous plan.

Some bottlenecks don't need to be upgraded bah. Like, a firehose at full blast can still be considered a bottleneck.

today saw the $13 recontract voucher for the 10gbps M1 plan only

You forget there is an option to top up S$12 per month for the Asus ZenWiFi BT10 for the 6Gbps plan.

BTW, you may not be able to sell the two units of BT10 at S$700, so I will calculate at S$660. Same for Archer BE805 -- I will use S$276 for calculation.

1) M1 6Gbps recontract offer at $32.90/mth (sell BE805 for $276) -> effectively about $21.40/mth
or
2) M1 6Gbps recontract offer at $44.90/mth (sell BT10 x 2 for $660) -> effectively about $17.40/mth
or
3) M1 10Gbps recontract offer at $50.90/mth (sell BT10 x2 for $660) -> effectively about $23.40/mth

For those out of contract but cannot get the recontract offer, one option is to sign up as new user.
1) M1 6Gbps new user offer at $34.90/mth (sell BE805 for $276) -> effectively about $23.40/mth
or
2) M1 6Gbps new user offer at $46.90/mth (sell BT10 x 2 for $660) -> effectively about $19.40/mth
or
3) M1 10Gbps new user offer at $55.90/mth (sell BT10 x 2 for $660) -> effectively about $28.40/mth

Now you can see 6Gbps offer is of better value than 10Gbps.

Just in case anybody like me did recontract but no email, the contract can already be found in the M1 app, in my case.

Bottom toolbar > More > My M1 Service > Plan Contract

 

[Jurong640]

I went to the M1 shop, re-contracted, collected the BE805 router, but still no contract email in my inbox and M1 app still shows my previous plan.

which plan did you recontract to? 6gbps? Did you get the promo $32.90/mth in email and you head down to the shop?

Take note that the app will only change after the new ONT is installed.

Yeah ure right. Top up on 6gbps is better. The only frustrating thing is I can't get the recontract voucher for that so my options are...

3) M1 10Gbps recontract offer at $50.90/mth (sell BT10 x2 for $660) -> effectively about $23.40/mth

2) M1 6Gbps new user offer at $46.90/mth (sell BT10 x 2 for $660) -> effectively about $19.40/mth

Just a lil more for 10gbps but although dang it's no use for now... Still wondering if it's still better for a little future proofing for not much of an increment cost.

I think alot more bt10 is gonna flood the market too lol! Wonder I shud just use it to replace my xt8.

Hi Xiaofan, my pc lan port is 2.5g, any recommendation to have 5g lan port? Which one would u recommend that is easy to setup, i read alot from the other thread but my I T knowledge limited, don't really understand .the more I read the more confused I become

 

[spinning_quirK]

Didn't get the promo email. Was just checking daily and heeding the important likely dates suggested by xiaofan.
And then yesterday when a couple of guys talked about their re-contract experience, I decided to go deeper into the process and found the 15/month voucher.
I was made to work for my food man.

Anyway, I'm keeping and using the BE805. The router it replaces is an AC1300UHP.
