Nothing new, I enquired on Fibre asking if FTP installation can be possibly absorbed and salesperson insisted that it's covered.
And when i reiterated that what's worded is - "NLT Activation Charges Waived", and to check, still kept insisting.
Till a likely more senior/TL/supervisor came and clarify that it's not and will have to be borne by user. Said staff quietly slip away.

That's why I mentioned nowadays really need DYDD and research first, not blindly listen and commit.
If one is kumgong go and commit just by sales talk of the sales person, literally have close to no recourse one. The blind leading the blind.
The hollowing of such basic needed knowledge for entry sales roles is dissapointing tbh.

Just to clarify, NLT activation charges are borne by customer? Crap.... I've just signed up fibre yesterday....

Ehh, yes by right, but usually ISP will waive/cover for this "NLT Activation Charge".
You should refer to what you signed up/contract to verify otherwise, quickly get back to your ISP to clarify and possibly ask for waiver.

There's other brands apart from what's in the portal too, like Kioxia, Sandisk, 12BUY etc. but don't see any brochures.

Waiver Getting less likely.

lately I renew with MyRepublic. They recommend me to upgrade speed, but need onetime installation fee which they refuse to waive.

Onsite installation fee is the one charged by MR, different from the one charged by NLT, which is the activation charge that usually is waived to entice recontract/sign up.

Yea went down, only saw WD hdd at level 3.
really more and more cmi.
And WD only got external hdd, internal limited to SSD only..
Guess better off buying from Sim lim or online platform..
saw online got 16TB for $300++, just that it’s Seagate barracuda, not sure good or not

If you are someone who constantly write to the HDD, then no.
At least take a look at ironwolf.

If WD, then WD RED
Toshiba then N300

EDIT - looks like 16TB is CMR... so probably can use? https://www.seagate.com/content/dam...hdd/barracuda-3-5-hdd-DS17-1-2501US-en_SG.pdf

All of the shows have shifted focus to home entertainment, home appliances and accessories as the big draw. Systems and laptops, too, but the minute you focus on PC components, that has almost no presence because it follows consumer appetite and interest, which is to say, isn't what it used to be. Look at the state of SLS and shop variety. This is the new reality.

The volume of sales doesn't justify the focus on those parts in either the show or in most retail channels. It's still required and people still buy them (online and when you can't wait, from SLS), but it's not a need for the masses.
