  5. How long is the warranty period of these cable modems?

    The cable modems offer a warranty period of one or two years from the date of purchase or service activation, whichever is earlier.

  6. What does the warranty cover?

    Under the warranty, you are entitled to a one-for-one exchange of the cable modem should the cable modem become faulty during the warranty period. The customer can call the StarHub customer hotline 1633 to arrange for replacement of defective equipment. StarHub may provide comparable equipment as replacement.

  7. If I experience problems with my cable modem during my warranty period, do I have to pay for a service call if I request for one?

    Yes, a service call charge of $53.50 is applicable if the problem is isolated to the cable modem. If the cause of the problem is network-related, this charge will be waived.

    StarHub can assist with exchanging the faulty cable modem on the spot as a value-added service provided the equipment is still within its warranty period. You will be required to provide the necessary verification by showing a valid warranty card.

  8. What is a HFC Mac ID?

    HFC Mac ID is a serial number identification on a cable modem that uniquely identifies your cable modem. This information is required for StarHub to activate the service successfully.

  9. Can I bring a cable modem home from overseas and connect it to my computer and cable point at home and start surfing the Internet?

    All manufacturers are required to send their modems to IDA for type-approval before they can be sold in the retail market here in Singapore.

    In addition, each individual modem brought in by manufacturers also come tagged with its own unique Mac ID. When manufacturers send their modems to StarHub for type-approval, they will also issue a corresponding set of Mac IDs to StarHub to be stored and authorised in our database before the modems can be put on sale. So without both the type-approval and the HFC Mac ID in our database, the cable modem will not work in StarHub's network.

  12. Will there be any promotional offers for the Mobile Broadband modem or HSDPA handset?

    You can call 1633; visit our website or StarHub Exclusive Partners for more information.
