I'm looking for a place too but its hard to get a proper place. I am also moving to Singapore by the end of this month.

2.Internet
3. Allowed cooking .....I'm a vegetarian and cook same thing always.....

Internet... so much easier to get your own, rather than insist on the landlord providing it. I just renewed a 12 month mobile broadband contract with Singtel at $18.50 per month for a 2mbps 3G service.

Aircond, same thing. I negotiated a $100 per month reduction in rental if I buy my own aircond. After 2 years, if I move, landlord keeps the aircond. You can buy a very good aircond for much less than $2400.

Good idea!!

Aircond problem solved...

But lets say if I dont want 3G internet...I want broadband as I am heavy downloader...

If i get a landline internet when I move can I move it too?

I dont like 3G...its slow as hell ler...

3G is broadband. I'm on just 2mbps and I can dl a gb in 1.5 hours if there are lots of seeds. Mobile bb speeds go up to 14.4mbps at Singtel and 21mbps at Starhub.

Granted, the bandwidth might not be as constant as cable, but unless you're gaming and need minimum latency, it's not a big issue.

But you can do cable. If the room has an existing cable tv point (for Starhub), then Starhub's cable service is a no brainer. But if there's no existing cable point or you want Singtel's cable bb, then it involves laying some cables, drilling, nailing etc... most landlords will not tolerate that if you're only renting a room.

Just be careful with those companies which do not have a good interview process and procedure. The interview process can potentially reflect culture of the company.  I have experienced it.  When I got into this company, the interview process is relatively easy and not much question asked.  When I joined the company, I really got a culture shock.  Maybe we should ask more questions to the future boss as well.

i must strongly agree on this... too good to be through or desperate parties signals for something that's about to come

I do enjoy going to Junction 8 sometimes.  I used to stay in Bishan before relocate to JB.  Not much but quite relaxing spending time there and not as crowded as in Orchard Rd.  Haha.. maybe we can meet up for yam char one of these day either in JB or in SG.

Google Singtel, M1 and Starhub. Then ctrl+f broadband. I am sure you will find out what's the price. Instead of refreshing the thread waiting for someone else to spoon feed you all the information, couldn't you put in some initiative yourself. Of course you can ask your mom to google for you if you wish

Seantang,
How did you get $18.50/month on 12 months contract for 2mbps. Is that on promo? That is like bargain of the year type of thingy.
