Found this T&C, which is also my old plan's T&C. Point F,

(f) After the minimum subscription period expires, the subscription to any content or channel(s) will automatically continue at the same subscription rates until the subscription is terminated by customer.

Now they come back and bite us?? Anyone kept their T&C? Mine was ESPN Twin Pack

Edit: Found the broacher for Comex 2010, see fine prints "Prevailing charges applies if Twin Pack is terminated"

 

[Elijahonli]

any alternatives where i can watch BPL/Champions league in HD?

i dont mind if its paid service, just not too ex can liao

 

[Vitaall]

my contract ended 2 days ago, cancelled it immediately. Singtel asked me if it was because of pricing, i told them its because they were not ready to honour the contract signed so until they sort out that part of the business, I will not go back to Mio anytime soon...thank you but no thank you

 

[numez123]

anyone called to clarify the contract details?

 

[teddy123]

shift over to starhub also same pricing ah...

I am also a Starhub Tv Subscriber, so for my case, it makes more sense to go over to Starhub so tat I can use the monthly $30 rebate to offset my Starhub TV bills.

Damn Singtel, cso also tell me the same story as wat other bros here claim, ie, will not change my pricing unless I sign up to another MioTV contract when expired.

Come let's unite and complain against Singtel.

Two weeks ago, an agent call me to switch to new package, however I said that I am not interested. I did ask him whether I can keep my current plan. He said yes.

Today, I received a letter from Singtel saying that all the plans converted to the Gold package. The strange thing is that the customer service officers who contact me said that this is the instruction from MDA. However, looking at the mail that Singtel sent to us, I didn't see any wordings that indicate the requirement to upgrade to 64$ / 59$ is from MDA. Is this a self initiative from Singtel to offset their losses?

Singtel is very smart.

Those who receive the letters last wk like me are those who are onli subscribing to their Sports Channels. They can afford to lose such customers like us becoz they know that a majority of us will switch to Starhub after cancelling with Singtel, especially those who are already on Starhub TV subscription. Eventually, we will still be giving Singtel a portion of the $59.9 tat we pay to Starhub, just tat Starhub is kind enough to let us offset the $30 rebate against Starhub TV service.

Many reasons to switch over to Starhub as follows:

1) You will become a Hub Club member once you transfer to Starhub TV for the first time, so enjoy furthur 10% discount.

2) U can rent another HD box at $8.00 (not sure of the actual amt) and can watch BPL and other Starhub channels on 2 TV Sets.

3) Starhub mobile plans are better than Singtel, lookin at the bundled data plan and total talk time, so better to use Starhub mobile line

4) Starhub setup box will not hang so long unlike Singtel, and also their box will start up faster when just switch on, ie, their set-top box is better.

Crap Singtel, no wonder u will always see a lot of Singtel booths trying to encourage ppl to sign up for their plans inside shopping centre or along the Mrt or even along the pavement. U dun see Starhub go ard setting booths rite?

I am goin to switch over after tis wkend, and if not for the 12gb flexi-lite plan tat I sign up with them in June last year, I will also port over to Starhub too.

Just received the dreaded price adjustment letter.

Luckily i have a lobang to pay $24.95 for the Jingxuan Gold pack, if not $69.90 a month is gonna be a killer

Just to assist everyone including my self who got involved with the latest Singtel's harsh action, allow me to list all the possibilities. Please correct me if there is a misinformation.

If you are an existing Mio TV subscriber subscribing to BPL package only (currently paying $23.00/month)

Stay with Singtel's Mio

1. Taking Singtel automatic offer.
   Singtel is offering Action Gold pack at $64.90/month
   Advantage: Mio's (TV channels + Movie channels) + World Sport
   Disadvantage: Paying $64.90/month. Mio's channels are so-so
   
   
2. Taking the MDA's plain vanilla BPL plan at $59.90 /month
   Advantage: 5$ cheaper than Action Gold
   Disadvantage: Paying $59.90/month and BPL only channel.

Change to Starhub TV

1. Take one basic plan in Starhub TV + subscribe BPL from Singtel.
   For limited time: "StarHub TV customers who choose to catch the Barclays Premier League (BPL) cross-carried on StarHub TV will receive up to $30 off their bills per month up to a maximum total of $600. If the StarHub TV bill amounts to less than $30 per month, it will be waived fully"
   You need to pay to Starhub : 22.47 $ (Cheapest HD Pack) - $22.47 = 0
   You need to pay to Singtel: $59.90 (MDA's ruling BPL plan)
   Total: $59.90/month
   Advantage: getting any Starhub channels instead of Mio TV channels

Notes:

• Understood that Singtel is offering Fibre Plan at 49.90 for existing users, but I didn't see the attractiveness, unless you are out of contract.

It doesn't work that way. You still need to pay $59.90 to Singtel every month for BPL (billed directly from Singtel). Then you still need to pay Starhub's basic package minus 30$ if it is > 30$, or FREE if it is less than 30$. Either way, you need to pay >= 59.90 per month now

unless u watch sky sports as link above...

i won't sign either...cos i don't want to tie 2 years esp late may ~ mid aug ....no bpl i still have to pay.

 

[luckyguitar]

Still have to add in the set box fee and phone line. Everything included, the cost is closer to $70- $80 per month depending on which pack and if there is any phone line rebate (usually $5 off per month).

If one already has starhub tv then it is not really worth it to take up the gold pack.

 

[darkhell26]

I also received the letter. Dun care liao. Gonna terminate. Knn...we pay $25+ not customers also meh... Die die must force us take up their package. My house got 2 miotv. My living room already got miotv with the Chinese n action pack Liao... My room one only soccer... No point having 2 miotv with the same package...
