M1 (formerly: MobileOne)

[opmi]

Base on observation, there were changes in the competition landscape of fiber broadband service in Singapore

- M1 has moved up to 200 Mbps as base offer, with same price tag, $39/month.
- SingTel has unbundled its plan with mioTV. The latest offer is $43.7/month, 200Mbps, and only free online matches on Sunday night, instead of MioTV packages
- Starhub has done the same. The latest offer is $49.9/month, 200Mbps, and Anytime TV, instead of cable TV packages.

In the last quarter from (Jun-Sep), net broadband subscription (increment of fiber user - decrement of cable user - decrement of xDSL user) was 16K, while 10K among them went to M1.

The bundling with cable TV seemed losing its charm to new fiber users...

Those who know how, will be able to watch free TV shows online, so why still need Cable TV.

Last weekend, all the telcos are offering 6mths free subscriptions for their plans. The question my wife asking was, how did other telcos know what their competitors intend to do? Leaking of information, or sharing of information?

Well, sharing of info will mean price-fixing. CCS will intervene. I doubt they will expose themselves with the risk.

It is very likely that other telcos follow suit after one's promotion went public. It shows that the telcos' marketing team efficiency...

Ah...CCS's scope dont cover telcos, banking & transport. It is under IDA.
