Families in Singapore are spending more time online for various applications. Sometimes their internet connection is not working properly, so they waste a lot of time troubleshooting the connection. They will first check if there is a problem with the hardware, and only if there is no problem with the hardware, they will contact their internet service provider. To avoid these problems, increasingly families and individuals are considering subscribing to home broadband from M1 since it is very reliable. M1 offers a wide range of broadband plans, and some considerations for choosing a suitable plan are discussed below.
Connection speed
One of the main considerations while choosing a broadband plan is the speed of the internet connection. This depends on the application for which the internet connection is required. Some users especially older persons require an internet connection only for browsing the internet. So in these cases, a low-speed internet connection is adequate. In other cases, many people are working from home, and use the connection for business purposes, interacting with customers, office colleagues. So for these applications, a high-speed internet connection of 1 Gbps is recommended. Similarly gamers require a high-speed connection for better performance, so they should consider packages formulated specifically for them
Price
Typically if the speed of the internet connection is low, the monthly fee charged will also be lower. The monthly charges for high-speed connections of 1GBps will be more. The broadband packages for gamers will give them top priority, so the monthly fees are the highest for these packages. The price also depends on the duration of the subscription. The rates for 24-month subscriptions will be lower compared to shorter durations. However, families who are planning to relocate within a year should consider the short-term broadband packages. Bundled offers are also available for greater savings. Many of the promotional offers are listed for only a few months.
Data usage
Another factor that should be considered while choosing a package is the amount of data transfer. If there is only one person living in a particular home, and using the internet connection for a few hours, he can opt for the cheapest package. In some families, there are many members and the children may be using the internet extensively for online tuition and other applications. So in these cases, it is advisable to accurately measure the data transfer monthly, so that the right package is selected initially, and family members do not face any problem connecting to the internet.
Other packages
Increasingly families are using their broadband internet connection for watching movies, tv serials, and other shows. Hence M1 is offering a wide range of packages for these users, they can integrate the Netflix subscription. The company also offers deals on internet telephony. Often the broadband connection is used for providing WiFi at home, and in some cases, users face a problem of WiFi dead spots. To overcome this problem, the users can rent an ASUS RT-AX55 router, which will ensure that there are no WiFi problems. Users can also opt for the security suite, which will keep the smart devices connected to the network protected.
