Starhub: Smart Surf Value
ReplyDeleteIt is the cheapest out of all the other teleco similar plan per month and offer 1GB more data too. Although, we pay more for the phone, the total cost is still cheaper after 2 years.
1.Based on your own personal usage and affordability which plan would you subscribe to and why?
ReplyDeleteStarHub SmartSurf Value. The best value is actually MaxSurf+; however, the 12GB would not be put to good use within a month and would be wasted. The next more affordable plan would be the SmartSurf Value ($435.25/GB compared to $755+/GB for the 2GB plan)
2.Your analysis should include what should be the (i) constants and (ii) variables.
i) GB use to compare the price
ii) Total price

ReplyDeleteCheaper . Starhub has a better connectivity.
Assuming that there is no other variables, comparing all 3 telco companies, the plan i would subscribe to for each of the catergories the cheapest being 1 and the most expensive being 4
ReplyDelete1- starhub
2-starhub
3-m1
4-m1
first and second plan are no brainers, the reason is obvious cause it gives the cheapest price in total and the same if not more than its competitors
third plan - although starhub provides one more gb of data bundle in return for extra $31, it is very very hard to exceed even 1gb of data bundle, thus we choose m1
fourth plan - m1 is cheaper overall
However, I do not know about other services but m1 has other services as well such as giving a m1 voucher when you recontract and reducing the overall price of each contract when you sign more than 1 contract under them, thus if outside variables that were not included in this assignment, I would choose m1.
