What things are cheaper in JB?

[nusaduta]

It is usual that they charge 10% Service Charge and 6% Service Tax

Is there service charge at restaurants in jb?

 

[potter]

that's still very ex. my singtel 10mbps is only 29$.
also, in general, MY retailers / service providers have a looong way to go in terms of customer service.

excellent solution. in fact, you can just insert the SIM card into your phone and use that as a wifi hotspot to connect your other devices to it.

but what i would like (haven't shopped around yet) is a prepaid 3G USB stick just for one laptop.

for eg:

I started by calling a dozen of golf courses/resort and ask them for contacts of coaches for kids and then calling coaches one by one to find out what kind of program they offer. This one I found is in kulai, quite a distance away but we are committed to send him there on every Saturday.

My son is 10

Good price! and Yes agree that JB is much cheaper for golf coach. Quality is as good compared to Singapore. Hired a renowned golf pro for my then GF (now wife) 5 years back, for RM1k for 11 lesson, 1on1 coaching. Quote from SG around S$2K.

but what about PC- Proficiency Certificate? she can't play in S'pore isn't it?

 

[streams]

i have found many other essential stuffs which are cheaper than buying in JB, I believe. For example, Swanton near Chinatown OG... etc detergent, shampoo, body foam, toothpaste, tooth brush...etc..

So far the only course in Singapore I encountered an issue before was with Marina Bay (need to pay extra S$10 for assessment), other courses don't even ask anything. On the other hand we seldom play in Singapore, most of the time in JB... and in JB anything goes, except for RJCC which "sometimes" can be strict on rules.

One thing I was told is that JB broadband is more exp than Sg. Anybody can comment on this from actual experience?

I have subscribe to a post paid bb. YES LIFE MOBILE BB. It comes with a dongle 4G. I am using my Malaysian friend's name to subscribe to it. You are also given a Malaysian number to usel using the data connection. People can call you even from fix landline

The speed is quite fast even inside city area. It cost me rm68 per month for 4 gig data

But if you are deep inside the building or shopping mall. You cannot get the signal. Thus you can"t surf.

On the North South high way, i like it a lot. It has quite a good connection speed. Speed is quite good even on Highway.

Surfing Speed : 4*/5*
Pricing per month : 3*/5*
Customer Service : 4*/5*
