A
StarHub representative called us today, Jeniffer called us the second time, and tell us the new promotion for
CableTV, free 2G
iPod Nano for 24 months contract. Well Hubby
Kriscell said he will only subscribe if the promotion also throw in free cable point, since we only can watch tv freely at our own room (there will be a big cat fight with my sis in law in the living room if i going to watch the cable there, we practically have different taste on watching tv). She went on said if they give the free cable point they can not throw in the discount anymore.
Now i really like sports channel, i have been pretty sad these 2 years, can not watch my fav
F1 season show on tv. But to get Sports channel you must take the basics group, more over in October the subscription will go up, plus all the new GST hike and increased plan recently. Who want to spend extra money for just watching 1 show? i rather download until my heart content from the big I(internet) basically download anything that i see on sight, well maybe just to revenge anyway.
So then
Kriscell asked her to call us back the day after tomorrow, we need to time to discuss he said, after he put down the phone, he asked me "what are you doing?" i answered "looking at starhub website, i want to compare and see any other promotion" he went on said "No cable so long if they never give a free extra cable point" there goes my cable :x
Actually if we subscribe, we can register at
HubClub and enjoy more further discount, since we already subscribe
StarHub Mobile and
MaxOnline. But since the
CableTv is not really need now, we still opt-out it. Maybe later when our new HDB flat ready we think about it again.
As you know recently
SingTel and
StarHub are on competitive edge, SingTel by pushing Mio out of date line with the bugs still crawling on the software, and
StarHub with the
HubStation, now i don't really know much about the HubStation but one thing for sure i know that the HubStation is freaking expensive. S$560 ($599.20 w/7%GST) or $285 ($304.95 w/7% GST) with Digital Cable subscription and that also expensive. And now even
Mio TV?
If you come check their site, especially StarHub, the promotion is quite scary, there is this promotion where you subscribe
Ultimate plan for S$87 for 30 months contract and get free
Compaq laptop, not long time ago, they had some promotion like this too, we took it arghh not we are using the Premium plan, i want that promotion contract because our contract have not finished we cannot upgrade yet :x sometime i really wonder do they make a profit with all this promotion? how scary is business marketing.
My brother had just sign up with
SingTel new
Mio Generation, to think that he already got this StarHub Express plan from
StarHub shared with his tenant, and he is quite happy with it, just to save some dollar for his mobile phone, i was like... what?
Some people thinks that they got the good deals in this recent marketing campaign by the two giant ISP/Telco.
Are you thinking the same?
Or they just wasting their money for something that not really worth.
