Jamesc Hypersonic November 3, 2018 Share November 3, 2018 Eh? I recontracted my cable TV two weeks ago. Hehe when they stop the cable TV in Jun 2019 Make them pay the penalty for breaking the contract. Look at your contract for 16 months early termination. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutrino Supercharged November 3, 2018 Share November 3, 2018 Hehe when they stop the cable TV in Jun 2019 Make them pay the penalty for breaking the contract. Look at your contract for 16 months early termination. Should there be a thread about the best alternative for fibre TV and another the best alternative for fibre internet. For me I find that Star hub TV is now crap as they've stopped broadcasting a lot of the channels I used to enjoy watching. So looking to move elsewhere but don't know where to. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic November 10, 2018 Share November 10, 2018 (edited) https://www.straitstimes.com/business/companies-markets/starhub-to-stop-cable-services-from-july-next-year Q: What is needed to set up fibre service? A: Customers need a termination Point (TP) installed in their homes. Those without a TP can check if their addresses are ready for fibre services by entering their postal code at http://www.netlinktrust.com/ If the customers’ address is eligible, StarHub technicians will take care of the installation and activation of fibre services. Charges will be waived for the installation of the first TP and the optical network terminal for eligible customers.

Neutrino Supercharged November 19, 2018 Share November 19, 2018 (edited) In the UK most fibre is now served by FTTC. As I understand it that means a street will have a centralised cabinet either at ground level of on a pole which is the extent of where the fibre will run to. From that cabinet to individual houses they use cable, usually at high level strung from a pole to the house above the height of of lorries which pass underneath. In Singapore we have FTTH, i.e. the fibre stops at the boundary to the home. The HDB's Condos etc have the internal wiring set up for cable. So is there any reason why we can't have an adapter box at the end of the fibre run outside of the boundary to the home which can then be attached to the cable running through the HDB etc and would mean that there is no need for additional cabling inside the home.
