I am not sure if one is able to opt out for the 4G VAS?

Yes, it's a VAS, 4G Boost.

Can opt out of 4G Boost, speed will revert back to 3G speed.

correct me if i'm wrong :D

hm, $2.14 for speed boost.. is the speed significantly different when using?

The broadband speeds in sg are mediocre. 3G nowadays are like GPRS and LTE is just normal 3G speed. Yet they charge us so much. In Korea their LTE is lightning fast and that's not even talking about LTE-A yet.

Yes, you are correct one can definitely opt out but one may suffer from 'speed withdrawal syndrome'. ;)

There is no speed increse. Last time it was free now you pay. That is the only significant difference.

I mean can one opt out halfway through during the contract or have to decide at the beginning of the contract?

Since, they are treating 4G now as a VAS so you should be able to opt out halfway just like any other VAS service. But if I'm not wrong, if you sign up for a VAS you have to maintain it for at least a month. Cannot like today sign and then tomorrow don't want.

Anyway, why don't you just give those starbuggers a call. ;)

Yes.

What rECKleSSfElla and xRenol have interpreted on the 4G "VAS" is about right.

At the end of the day, we are all sitting ducks to these telcos. Be it starhub, singtel or m1. Sooner or later, we will be slaughtered one way or another. If the service is stable then perhaps, it's understandable but still, many that I know and myself including, feel cheated and betrayed to a certain extent. It's like for several years I treat you to FREE beer and cigarettes on a daily basis and then when you are addicted I say... eh brader, u must pay from 1st June ONWARDS. Sickening.

Back to topic at hand... G3 ROCKS! :s13:

Welcome to the First World :s13:
