How about starHub 3G coverage? Their iPhone plan is cheaper.I tried singTel, the coverage is ok...but speed is quite slow sometime. |

QUOTE(ilineZ @ Dec 6 2012, 04:53 PM) is the phone gonna be locked? SG in general the phones are not locked one. You can get one then immediately change SIM cards. But in order to get the phone "cheap," you'd normally sign up for a 1-year / 2-year contract anyways. |

QUOTE(alaskanbunny @ Dec 5 2012, 11:16 PM) good drivers, clean buses, reasonable rate, great location, got vid during journey although nvr change 1, chances of meeting leng lui is good... wat more ca u ask for Haha agree with all the points, I'll go by Firstcoach whenever they have seat for me   As for good drivers, there was once the driver of the bus I took was quite impatient and keep honking at JB Customs 1 more thing I like about Firstcoach is every alternate row you get a power outlet to charge your devices... thou seems like now there are more buses comes with power outlet at every row. QUOTE(deodorant @ Dec 5 2012, 11:24 PM) probably cos it's got a great price/comfort ratio. if you go any higher on price to the premium busses like Transsstar or Aeroline ... the price sometimes even more expensive than flying budget airline liao Haha so envy you all staying in KL, quite convenient to travel back to KL. I'm staying Penang to my only mean of travel is by flight.or me though, I always fly, cos I live in east so I'm closer to the airport. and i prefer waiting and hanging around in airports rather than sitting in a bus chair for 5 hours. But usually for firstcoach it is quite difficult to get a seat for me (most of the time I have to wait until others released their seat), my other alternative would be Causeway link since its near to where I'm staying in SG. Added on December 6, 2012, 11:00 pm QUOTE(alaskanbunny @ Dec 6 2012, 10:27 PM) either m1 or singtel... nvr starhub unless u take their cable network n do hubbing Just check, is Starhub's 3G network really bad? I used Starhub 3G on prepaid previously and its kind of bad (about 2 years ago). So I signed Singtel postpaid instead. Now thinking to switch to M1 after my contract with Singtel due. How is M1's 3G or LTE connection?This post has been edited by Shinichi: Dec 6 2012, 11:00 PM |

QUOTE(seantang @ Dec 5 2012, 06:55 PM) Congratulations. Do update your LinkedIn with your new job. I'm going back to audit T__T Hopefully I'll be able to step out after a year. As for where to stay, how do you intend to go to work? I'm 100% dispassionately utilitarian when it comes to this stuff. - are you going to drive? If so, doesn't matter where you stay although a shorter drive is of course better in all respects. - are you going to taxi it? Then staying next to a main road or commercial hub is better to get taxis in the morning. - are you taking the train? If so stay along the same train line as the station nearest your work place. Changing trains is a hassle you don't need. Staying right next to a bus stop with buses that go to the train station is also workable to reduce rental as you pay a premium for "walking distance to MRT". There's a big bus stop below my block. A good balance between convenience and cost. But you have to put up with the noise of the buses. - are you taking the bus? If so, stay at places along the express bus routes to the CBD, and close to the bus stop. - Otherwise, stay around the city center or inner fringe and walk, take a bus or taxi. Most probably train, looking for a place around CBD, probably queenstown. |

QUOTE(alaskanbunny @ Dec 7 2012, 08:18 AM) the question is.. how much? About RM600 for a return trip and S$20 + RM15 for taxi fare. About 3-4X the price of bus tickets.Question is... How much do you value your time and convenience? This does avoid an 8-9 hour overnight red eye bus ride... which basically burns one day of your weekend or annual leave each way as well because you're sleepy the entire day.
