When you sign-up for cable broadband, the modem is free.

It is for those still on cable broadband with problematic modem as replacement.

Without cable broadband service is a piece of junk device.
Beside there will be another 1 which is Singtel ADSL modem as service is coming to end next month.

You won't get any internet connection if you just plug one of these cable modems into the coaxial point in your home.
Starhub has to register your cable modem's mac address into their system for the internet service to be available. Once the previous owner terminated his service, that mac address is not allowed any more so no service.
