jaskel 2 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 are DBSS bound by the same set of rules? or they have a different kind of regulations since they are like "hybrid" of EC and HDB? They do have different kind of rules and regulation just like The Premiere @Tampines and City View @Boon Keng. This u can find in the HDB website for reno guidelines Guidelines Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lazybum9 1 Report post Posted March 16, 2011 this opennet thing is driving me nuts...i got my terminal point(TP) installed in my DB box which i thought supposed to be near tv / telephone points in living room...so decided to run cat6 cables from DB box to living room until someone told me that's not required as the 2 circles boxes in the pic is meant to connect to servicer provider's network termination equipment...i opened up the right box and insider has a splitter distributing signals to different tv points in the house so rightfully I can connect the network termination eqiupment to that box and my rest of tv points in the house would be enabled with high speed connection right??? i emailed opennet to confirm on this...and below are their replies... this one doesn't answer any of my question man... Thank you for your email. The fibre-optic services from RSPs (SingTel/StarHub/M1) provides HD enhancement to the TV and ultra-speed internet. In order to enjoy the HD enhancement feature, you will need a physical connection from the Network Termination Equipment to the TV itself. Whereas for the ultra-speed internet, it will be wireless. Thus, it will not be an issue as you will receive the signal anywhere in the unit. Regarding the relocation of TP, it will be chargeable at S$220 before GST for High-Rise and S$450 before GST for landed. Have a nice day. Hence emailed back to emphasize on my question and some days later, another reply... Thank you for your email. You will be able to enjoy the HD enhancement for TV if you connect the TP to the Splitter which distribute signals to the TV points. 13 days later and this seems to be the answer i'm looking for but...opennet don't seem to know much about their own stuffs...which makes me wonder if i should trust this source... i don't think i can connect the TP to the splitter as per the 2nd email reply...thought still need the service provider's network termination equipment between the TP and splitter??? i seriously need help here to understand this opennet thing man...

RimBlock 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2011 what you mean? why you can't use padlock? If you checkout the hinges in the picture I would guess the gate hinges on the left and the small and big sections are also connected by hinge so the gate opens on the right next to the gate frame. As there are no holes in the gate frame the gate cannot be secured to it. Padlock and chain between the gate and door handle if you have one of the loop types on the front door. The gate opens out and the door would usually open in so they would pull against each other with a chain linking them. Bottom line though is that it is up to your ID to work out access for his workers and he is responsible during the renovation process for securing the property. If they need to be on site every day to let workers in then that is what they need to do. Our gate was padlocked but some workers wrote the number on the wall by the front door.... . We had words with our ID and it never happened again. RB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, you have my reply to this in the other thread but, what I think you need to realise is that Opennet supports the fibre to the door and the TP. From the TP to the TV is your providers responsibility so Starhub, M1 or Singnet. You really need to ask them rather than opennet. RB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lazybum9 1 Report post Posted March 21, 2011 then what are you going to do? change lock too?? met a locksmith on sunday when he was installing padlock for my neighbour...he also scoffed at the gate design...never seen such clever ones before...anyway he told me ~$70 to change lock, for better quality ones ~$100...think that's abit on the high side...but that seems to be my only option...unless someone can help to enlighten on my plight...
