I contacted Astro Customer Services, requesting them to provide me the contract end date. I found out that my contract ended in November, i.e. now can terminate a/c without being slapped with penalty charges.

But that is not the funny part.

The funny part is that, I was told that I am selected to retain as their customer for another 6months (should I take up the offer), with the initial 3months fee waived!!

Is there a catch in this ?

LOL I mean, nothing's free in the world now. But Astro suddenly mentioned that I am eligible to have 3months fee waived. I'm like, seriously??

I'm curious to know too.
Anyone knows ?

^ i.e. all we need to return is the Smart Card?

I guess it makes sense, as it would be troublesome to dismantle the satellite dish, and bringing all equipment to the Astro Centre.

You terminate your Astro already?

LOL recently I contacted Astro on my contract date.
Was told that it has passed already i.e. can terminate without incurring penalty.

Lo and behold, Astro was feeling extra nice to me.
They said, oh btw, don't you terminate just yet.

We are going to extend your contract by 6-months, out of which 3months fee waiver!
i.e. pay for three months, for a 6-month contract!

LOL

LOL sorry for my ignorance, but are you expecting your Astro fees to get higher due to GST ?
Coz you know what, all along you have been paying Govt that 6%, from the Govt Tax.

So your fee whould be the same, but onlt the term is changed;
from Govt Tax to GST.

Anyway, I stand corrected

LOL but the fact remains, right?
i.e. price shouldn't increase, as we have been paying the same % all along.

I'm done with Astro
Already terminated, and not the least bit feeling withdrawal syndrome, ha ha.

But yeah, even though watching live football at mamak also consider Astro, but at least I am not paying!
