StarHub coverage in Singapore, from fibre plans to device launches.
Google Home and Google Home Mini are now officially available in Singapore through a StarHub partnership, the same arrangement as Google Wifi. From 20th April 2018 you can buy them at StarHub, Courts, Challenger, or online.
Google Wifi is now officially available in Singapore through a StarHub partnership, the first Southeast Asian launch. From 31st August 2017, a three-pack bundle costs S$15 a month over 24 months on selected StarHub plans.
StarHub isn't IPv6 ready, and I suspect the same of M1 and SingTel. You can test your own connection and share your ISP's result in the comments. Mine showed no IPv6 address detected, just IPv4, ahead of World IPv6 Day.
Sharing a good cause: M1, SingTel and StarHub, with Ericsson's IPX, are letting post-paid customers donate $5, $10 or $20 by SMS to aid Japan's disaster victims. All three telcos are waiving their administration fees.
I've put together a comparison of the Next Gen NBN fibre price plans from Singapore's three telcos, SingTel, M1 and StarHub, plus SuperInternet. It covers download and upload speeds, international bandwidth and pricing, from M1's 25Mbps plan at S$39 upwards.
A quick reference for mobile data APN settings across Singapore's telcos: SingTel uses e-ideas or internet, StarHub uses shinternet, shwapint or shwap with a proxy, and M1 uses sunsurf. Most leave the username and password fields blank.
The People's Association is bringing 2010 FIFA World Cup screenings to the heartlands, partnering Singapore Pools, SingTel and StarHub. The five Community Development Councils and PA Community Clubs will show the matches at venues across the island for residents.
Conducted across eight Asia-Pacific markets including Australia, China, Hong Kong, India and Taiwan, the second quarterly Digital Brand Index (DBI 2.0) keeps surfacing insights on the most discussed brands online and the subjects sparking the liveliest debate.
Some media reports note 3G connectivity issues with the Nexus One on M1 and StarHub in Singapore. SingTel customers shouldn't be affected, as the phone auto-connects to their network, perhaps hinting that SingTel may officially bring in the Nexus One.
My StarHub MaxOnline Premium plan expired months ago. Rather than wait until December 2009 for a promotion, I renewed via the Enjoy 30% Off MaxOnline Ultimate deal. Normally S$124.12 a month, the discount makes it far more palatable.
Let me start by saying ADSL sucks and cable is the way to go. Authenticating over a phone line to connect is so 56K-era. ADSL disconnects far more than cable and its modem is buried in settings to configure.
