Cessation of Cable Services



1
Why did StarHub decide to cease the provision of Cable Services?

As Singapore continues to rapidly digitalise, we want our customers to enjoy the latest services, technology content and digital innovation that are best enabled over Fibre. For example, on Fibre networks, you can enjoy faster internet surfing speeds as well as higher quality pay TV services with better interactivity and smarter features.

To-date, a large majority of our customers have already moved to Fibre. Do call us at 1800 829 9918 (8am to 9pm daily) or visit any StarHub Shop to upgrade to Fibre now, if you have not done so.

My Cable Service is still in contract, what do I need to do?

We strongly encourage you to upgrade to Fibre now. Simply call us at 1800 829 9918 (8am to 9pm daily) or visit any StarHub Shop as soon as you can. We will be happy to assist you in this in making this upgrade.

Are StarHub Fibre TV, Fibre Broadband and Digital Voice on Fibre services plug-and-play?

No. Our technicians will install Fibre services for you as there is a need to activate the Fibre connection in your home.

The charges for the installation of the first Fibre Termination Point (TP) and the Optical Network Terminal (ONT) for existing cable customers will be waived.

What is the difference between Fibre TV and Cable TV?
