I listed everything I will get and the fee I have to pay, through email, yet still don't honour.

I don't know who's head to knock, mine or theirs, sigh. So so so so unlucky

Are you sure you want the SH tv lite? Later got charged for something you accidentally pressed on the remote. Just like someone said before, it might be a trap.

I'm not sure cos my current SH cable bb don't have SH tv lite. But I think I will opt out of it, anyway. Didn't see anything interesting in the free channels.

Felixthecat, so sorry to hear your plight. In case they send you a penalty for the cancellation, email them and ask them to waive it off. Explain to them your situation. In the first place as what you said, they didn't honour what they said to you, so why should you pay for cancellation? If you haven't sign any contract with them it should be fine, I guess. But still better try find out more first.

Can I check with you, other than having to install the cable point, what else is required? I'm calculating the cost of installation, etc and whatever charges. Let's say if I continue with ST, I pay $10 more for broadband and home line compared to SH, so a 2 yrs contract with ST means I will be paying a $240 more.

I am trying to weigh the pros and cons of jumping to SH just to save on this $240. 15Mbps or 25Mbps won't make much difference to me since 10Mbps has been serving me and my family without any problem so far.

You can always call them and you set a password in case you accidentally press some button. Their E-City and hello japan still ok.

Um..I won't work out the savings between ST and SH for BB & Homeline, you already did your own calculation, but I think for BB & Homeline, the savings is over $20/pm.

Ok, in my own case, with my signup for 25Mbps was I get free activation and installation, Free TV Lite with Free rental of HD Interactive Set top box, CSO confirmed over email, no other charges except for the following one time charges:

1) Cable point installation ($107)
2) Home Line porting from ST ($42.80) - this they didn't tell me over email, but was told over the phone by sales staff.
3) Caller Number Display Activation ($10.70)

Can set password to prevent accidents? sure? then I'll go for it. TV lite good or not never mind bcos at least I have the set top box, free rental for 2years, to receive HD channels when all TV channels move over to HD. Or is it more worth it buying my own set top box? How much does a set top box cost, I saw one when I pass by Gain City, but I didn't go in to ask.

I have been having cable Tv for many years. If u set a password to safe guide, when u want to purchase a channel it will prompt u to key in your password. All of us rent the box and if faulty can bring down to do 1 to 1 exchange. Set top box u see outside is for free to air channel and requires an indoor antenna so signal may vary. Cable Tv may not be nice but still can watch. Eg. E-city and hello japan.

Long ago I also know... I didn't see the current promo got this offer.

There was this offer like a week or 2 weeks ago. I saw it on Ad in the papers. It's not in those main SH outlets or websites. Maybe they are clearing off their Chromebook. ...?

Oh.. here it is. Broadband Offers 5 – 11 Apr 2014.

So sorry to hear about your plight Felix.

What did the tech actually do for the Cable Point installation? Was it like the video linked I refer to you earlier?
...and it needs to be paid in cash?

Couldn't we just install it? And... err.. are they running on Windows XP?

Just got a call from SH. The offer I got is 100 mbps, first 12 mths free, after the 5% off 39.90. Same price as the chrome book I guess. So maybe u all can try ask for 1 year waiver instead of chromebook. Mobile phone 20% discount.

Wah, that seems like a good deal. But I hate the hassle of installing cable point and whatever not.

Its like running wire around the house, he just run it across the living room to my study room and fix a cable point where I want it. He was supposed to install the modem and log-in for me, but I rejected since everything is not in order. So, he didn't install modem and log-in, so its a no-signup.

Over the phone, sales person told me I need to pay cash only for the cable point installation, if signup successful, then the rest will be billed to me.

I have been having cable Tv for many years. If u set a password to safe guide, when u want to purchase a channel it will prompt u to key in your password.

Ok, I understand now. I downloaded a HD set top box guide, there are instructions on how to set up pin number for pay channels. Thanks for mentioning.
