Singnet paying policies isn't that transparent or consistent... but their recontraction policies are. Once it's about to end, they will send letters to you. If you run into problems, they will send technicians down personally.Originally posted by Ito_^:pai seh. the truth is, the possibility is very high. both side policies are not transparent nor consistent. sometimes good, sometimes bad one.
Off topic, just read their FAQ for mio, one good thing comes out of it.I have a Fixed Line, a SingTel Mobile line and a SingNet Broadband line. My current broadband subscription speed is 25Mbps. Am I eligible for mio plan? Will there be downgrading penalty?
So those planning to downgrade, better go for mio! Or you risk paying more.
Yes, you are eligible for mio plan, as long as you have less than 12 months remaining contract on your SingTel Mobile, SingNet BroadBand and Fixed Line services. The downgrade penalty of your existing SingTel services will be waived for launch till further notice. -
yup... singnet have a tenancy to decrease the price of their existing plan for people who wanna sign up, however the people who are currently using the plans will remain as the original price. Feels kinda cheated when using singnet all the while.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Singnet paying policies isn't that transparent or consistent... but their recontraction policies are.

Just two minor quakes here yesterday and today at 11 am and noon; 5.4 and 5.0 respectively, but these were in the East so did not affect the cables. However, they are having problems with repairs because of the weather.

For those of you still using Singnet

Fixing quake-damaged undersea cables will take weeks more
By Hiroko Tabuchi
Associated Press
Last updated 07:23pm (Mla time) 01/17/2007
TOKYO -- Replacing undersea telecommunication cables damaged three weeks ago by an earthquake off Taiwan will take until the end of February, Japanese communications companies said Wednesday.
The magnitude 7.1 quake of December 26 snapped undersea cables near Taiwan, disrupting phone and Internet communications across a large part of Asia as companies scrambled to reroute traffic through satellites and undamaged cables.
NTT Communications, the international unit of Japan's largest telecommunications company, Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corp., said in a statement issued Tuesday that it had restored Internet, data connection and telephone services to near pre-quake levels by rerouting connections and collaborating with other carriers.
But replacing the damaged cables was expected to take until the end of February, and international callers could still face disruptions during peak times until then, according to NTT Communications spokesman Tei Gordon.
"Rather than using existing cables, we have rerouted and are relaying through different routes," Gordon said. "This is a temporary arrangement...as we put in new cabling in damaged sections."
"The quake occurred in probably the most congested area of cabling, which is what has really magnified the problem," Gordon said.
Another Japanese telecommunications company, KDDI Corp., said services had been restored to near pre-quake levels though a full recovery would also take until the end of February, when it expects to finish repairs.
The extent of the damage and the distance of affected areas from Japan made a quick recovery difficult, said KDDI spokesman Keiichi Sakurai. -
