I never renewed my mobile broadband contract from 2007. Still on 50GB a month.

Will also not renew my mobile phone 3G contract. 12GB a month. Not worth to give up 10GB for 4G.

What is this mobile broadband contract? 50GB per month!

Hi all, another question from me again.

I have gotten my IPA two weeks ago and came back to Malaysia with my IPA. I only intend to get my EP sometime near February since I will only start work then.

Is this allowed? I take it everyone would have immediately made an appointment to get their EP once their IPA is approved?

There is a time frame u need to get ur EP after u get ur IPA. I think is 6 months from the date of IPA issued. You can check you IPA, it is stated in the letter.

Near ro mrt, food center and shop. prefer without landlord. Some landlord is very fussy. They will have some strange regulation. depend on ur luck. So I prefer without owner. More freedom. If u keen we can rent whole unit. Maybe a 3 rooms unit. N we find 1 more tenant.

If they are new to Singapore, for sure the new contract is limited 2/3/4G data plan, so mobile tethering is out if heavy usage user.
If you're a heavy user, can't say that the landlord is kiasu or kiasi. FYI downloading entertainment media is technically illegal.

QUOTE(iSmartPower)
As mention mobile broadband is an additional cost for a them who just come over and start work.
Well... if one can't pay, don't be a heavy user.

QUOTE(iSmartPower)
Since the house is equip with broad, it's still open up to negotiate to share it like other home appliance. All is depend how the negotiation goes.
Yup, should negotiate. I was just reacting to the kiasu/kiasi statement.

These are the old mobile broadband plans, from yesteryear when they were first introduced. Big data limits (or unlimited), free modems, 3 or 6 months free if you sign a 24 month contract.

Yep! It doesn't matter if I go in and out of the country within this 6 months right? My only worry is that the Immigration of the MOM officers might not like this or I shouldn't be doing this at all.

Illegal AND action was taken. Some company sued a group of people for downloading anime and brought them to court donkey years ago. Each fined 2k IIRC. SPF come knocking your door. So landlord is not kiasu kiasi.

Another one stealing wifi jailed...

Singapore's finance job outlook 2014. A bit bleak...
QUOTE
http://news.efinancialcareers.com/sg-en/15...s-in-singapore/

Interestingly, the Hudson survey shows that more than two thirds of employees are either actively or passively looking for another job, and eight out of ten expect to make a move this year. The biggest motivator remains money, but the survey also revealed that Singapore workers are dissatisfied with the quality of management leadership. Two in five of employees surveyed rated their manager as ‘average’, ‘poor’ or ‘very poor’.

In accounting and finance, the survey revealed a number of key trends:

- Business partnering finance professionals are still in high demand, and candidates proficient in audit, compliance and risk are also highly sought after.
- Hudson’s top two most recruited accounting and finance roles for 2013 were internal auditors, and financial planning and analysis. “There is a strong demand for junior and mid level positions in these fields. Most in-demand skills include internal audit, mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance and financial analysis.”
- There are fewer opportunities for senior candidates. Many companies now prefer to keep headcount and cost down and promote finance directors and CFOs from within rather than to recruit external candidates.
- An international outlook is valued: mid-level candidates who are willing to travel, relocate and/or have exposure to emerging or growing markets like Myanmar and China are sought after.
- The trend for outsourcing transactional junior roles overseas is continuing and this is affecting the number of junior and entry level roles in the profession.
- Salaries continue to rise but more slowly, with increases of 4–5% in 2014 expected, compared with 5–8% in recent years.
Employers want local candidates which would translate to fewer opportunities for expatriates.

Why rent room no wifi? I thought this is a standard service available provided by landlord? biggrin.gif

If u r renting a room that is close to market rate I think it should include free wifi!! At most should only worry people hogging bandwidth.

Even my current place i rent whole unit, has no wifi originally so I subscribed fibre service under my name and all the one time fees and monthly charges I deduct from my rent..

Actually they can but the problem as you say, so many people in SG, almost 50% or more are downloading or streaming, it's they will catch all? As long as no people report, they are just close 1 eye.

Singaporean always say, "You can do anything, as long as not get caught!"

The ISPs definitely know who. They definitely have all the records of all your internet activity.

So there's no issue whether they know out not. They do.

Then it's a question of what they are going to do with that knowledge. If you keep your nose clean, never get into trouble or create trouble... chances are that nothing will happen to you your entire life. But if you one day, somehow attract the attention and displeasure of the powers that be, you can bet they will bring it all this evidence to make your life difficult.
