I did consider MyRepublic's 1 Gbps plan ($49.99 / month) but felt its not suitable because their digital line can not port over. So retaining digital line from singtel cost about $10 per month. Plus you got to pay for the router $170 + installation fee $58.
In Singtel's 200 mbps entertainment plan, if your family has 4 SingTel lines, all of them get to enjoy 25% discount off monthly subscriptions plus free annual handset upgrade for the main line. I also can retain my home digital line. They also give free wireless WIFI modem and free installation (if you sign up during IT Show period).
So if I don't want mio TV, I will still pay the same amount monthly.
As I said, Mio TV doesn't have WIFI, you need to insert a cable from it directly into the WiFi Modem. Singtel can provide the this wiring from modem to mio TV box but it will be non-concealed.
It will look ugly with non-concealed so let the electrician to do the concealed wiring first so later no need to worry about seeing exposed wiring all over the place.
My personal experience with WiFi and concrete walls is pretty poor, which is why I prefer Ethernet over Powerline. My 2 cents ;-)
1. quite unlikely HH use Cat5e or Cat6 cable for telephone line, as phone line usually use 2 pairs cable and Cat cable is 4 pairs.
2. all telephone jacket/lines are connected to the telecom JB inside the DB. so even though they are Cat cable, you still have to pull out from telecom JB and make RJ45 connector by yourself, before connect it to a switch/router.
3. recommend to use AZtech Homeplug - so you can transmit MIO TV to another room. a pair costs less than $100.
it's similar to wire. there is model available for Gbps/fibre.

HH confirmed that the PE certified plumbing drawing (showing a tap at balcony) is a mistake and informed the revised drawing is ready for collection.
"The revised drawing is ready for collection and you may collect it at the Management Office from Monday to Friday from 830am to
530pm."
At times, you need to give those workers a lashing, so pissed off, imagine my balcony walls that are not painted, so they say will paint it nicely, drop by today and guess what, they simply just paint over without removing the bird droppings.
Nowadays, new condos come with Telephone and Data line connections using Cat5E and are on RJ45 sockets. Gone were the days of RJ11 socket for telephone connection.
However, to convert current telephone cat5e to data line, you will need an electrical knowhow to rewire the cables in the Junction or Distribution box in the DB housing. Good luck!
As MSHLIN suggested, why go thru' all the hassle when you can go the power line home plug way! Easy and cheap!
Also no need to worry! As explained in my previous post, you just need to connect the WiFi modem to the data box in your living room, connect your MIO box to it and you are all set to go!
I found that on balconies, outside the door, the left side and right side are both short of one layer, is this considered defect?
I have attached pic, how do I make it visible?
why my upload pic always fail? want to upload a pic showing the balcony door ceramic tile left side and right side short of one layer. is that considered as a defect? my pic is 500+kb in jepg format. why I cant attach it here?
Try it first and if you are not satisfied with the speed, get the power line home plug! No rewiring hassle!
I disagree. It is a problem because Jason wants to install mio TV boxes in both living room and master bedroom.
There is no issue with the 1st mio TV box in the living room but to install a 2nd mio TV box in master bedroom, it will be a major project to do concealed wiring tapping from living room across passageway, 3rd bedroom, 2nd bedroom before arriving at master bedroom. That would easily cost a 4 digit figure. If non-concealed, then would be cheaper.
mio TV Box doesn't have WIFI capability to connect to the modem.
Hi,
Does anyone know if the panel above the folding door of the toilet at the yard is sealed with a glass panel or louvre window? Mine is open, not sealed. Is it a defect? Thanks
Just got reply from LTA about the main gate of vacanza@east:
(In the first email, I question why LTA reject the vacanza@east main gate design so late , and make the condo without main gate now.(which I heard from VE management office.))
below is the reply from LTA:
We wish to clarify that we do not regulate the building main gate provision/ gate design to any development. You may obtain more information from your developer and their consultant.
That means the main gate issue is due to developer, but not LTA.
