1: I like watching Premiership Football and American football (NFL).
Does anyone know of both of these sports are available on any cable packages at the minute?
And how much is cable in general, compared to UK prices. As in for premium packages.
2: Bank Accounts. I'm assuming opening an account in Singapore, would just be like an expat opening one in the UK. As in, passport, visa, maybe employment offer letter/contract?
cheers

Not sure about the cable but I opened a DBS bank account today with just a passport and visa, used my office address for billing address...you can either open a 'debit' account with $500sgd (which is the equivalent of an ATM / cash card in the UK e.g. solo, although it is part of NETS system which most places accept here) or a 'savings' account with $3000sgd (which is like a normal visa debit card in the UK).......if you go below those levels once you've opened an account you incur a tiny fee e.g. $2/month on the debit card. hope that helps, i got a working card within 15 mins from walking into the bank it was a very efficient service

For banks, I would suggest for you to open a UOB or OCBC account. DBS have more ATMs around the island, but 99% of Singaporeans have a DBS/POSB account. This mean that there is always a (long) quene when you need to withdraw any money!
UOB and OCBC ATMs are linked, so you can withdraw money from any of their machines. Be warned that if you withdraw money from the other bank (i.e. UOB ATM when you have OCBC account), you need to pay 20 or 30 cents per transactions.
