no one would know the 2nd telephone is free for how long?
maybe for duration of mio home contract...
in my case ... i currently MioPlan ... 8mbps with DigitalVoice line ...
so this second line duration is for MioTV contract (if i do sign up) !
the second line, if your case need be (installed) [like i was told i needed to if i sign up MioTV ... i on 8mbps, the CSO checked and said 2nd line for me is needed] is :
1) strictly for your MioTV ...
2) it is an analogue line
3) this line no need to pay the monthly / quarterly charges ... i assuming reason being IF you do not actually connect a phone to it and chit chat with your friends ...
4) this line is necessary to prevent lag on your existing 8mbps ... cos if not ... u will lag surf + MioTV
5) this line is tied with your MioTV contract .... as such if u no renew your MioTV contract when expired ... no termination / cancellation fees for this particular line
BUT before you dive in to sign up for early bird BPL special ...
do note that once you sign ... even though u no need pay until Aug 2010 if u watch non-VOD programmes .... you are liable for early termination fees ...
the early bird comes with a 1 year contract that starts from Aug 2010 ...
reason i have not signed up :
1) Sitex next week ... wait and see what other lobangs they got ...
2) no BPL until next year .... current CL group matches ending soon ... no CL until 2010 even though it's free for the rest of this season ....
3) no details of ST's BPL packages ... who broadcasting ... any HD channels ? etc etc
