downgrade charge is normal, everyone will kena. U complain what ?
now its a matter of he said she said. U got recording that you were promised $19.90 w/o contract?
No contract means, the telco can change prices as and when it deems fit. I would rather hav signed a contract if this $19.90 was real.
I've lodged a complaint against the CS who misled me. I would have downgraded on 27 Mar if he did not insisted that the discounted rate would still stand even without a contract. I clarified with him twice. This is what pissed me off and I ended up paying more coz of their appalling employee training and then penalising the customer for their own mistake.

Hi! I'm due to change from Fibre TV+ to the new TV+ when the free 2 years broadband ends. Was reading up on the new passes and the free to air channel are available when I use Starhub's router. I would like to check if anybody has use their own router but still using Starhub Fibre broadband and manage to watch free to air channel on their starhub box? I know there is MeWatch to watch those channels but i believe my old folks will find it troublesome as they have been used to a single interface since Starhub Cable TV.

Can always use their Linksys EA8100 to watch Free to air. This router may not be high end type of router like my ASUS router RT-AC88U but I noticed that it is still quite decent. I noticed my ASUS router spoilt today so I replaced it with EA8100 that i kept in my store room earlier 2 years ago. I noticed that this free router still can use although not top rated performance in the AC router family.

Does Starhub still require you to subscribe for the stupid internet when subbing for their TV?

Currently on Singtel and I can watch TV with no need to sub to their internet.. However, due to an issue, we want to migrate to starhub.. If it is not possible, then wtf am I gonna need 2x internet lines for? I have a much better internet provider alr..

Yeah I understand could use the router provided. However, cause I'm using the Unifi Eco system.

Their new Starhub TV+ does not require their own internet. You could use any service provider internet. All you need is a Android box or you can rent their box.

Can I have more information please?

Yes you can have Starhub TV+ service without using Starhub Fibre Internet.

You have two choices in that case if you watch to watch on big screen.

1) Using you mobile phone and then cast to your TV, with the help of Android TV OS device or Chromecast dongles.

2) If you do not want to cast, you have to use the Starhub TV+ box, which seems to have FW stability issues.

And take note you will have no access to MediaCorp FTA channels in this case.

Many people regret to sign up for the Starhub TV+ Pass and want to switch to SingTel TV.

Just wondering what is your issue with Singtel TV?
