SINGAPORE INTERNET USERS CAN NOW EXPERIENCE 10Gbps FIBRE TO THE HOME ISP PLANS FOR $139 - CURRENT USA CABLE BROADBAND SPEED TOPS AT 1Gbps - CURRENT 4G LTE CELLULAR WIRELESS USA TOP SPEED IS 100Mbps

Heavy Internet users here, especially gamers, online traders and those who crave high-speed connections, got a dramatic boost in the last month.
Four Internet service providers (ISPs) have recently introduced 10Gbps home fibre plans, quintupling the previous top broadband speed for Singapore homes.
At these speeds, users can download an entire 50GB Blu-ray disc in under a minute. Other benefits touted by ISPs include streaming multiple ultra-high-definition 4K videos at the same time without lag and smooth online gaming.

Singtel started the trend last month with a 10Gbps home fibre plan that costs $189 a month.
Currently, M1, Singtel, SuperInternet and ViewQwest offer 10Gbps high-speed fibre plans priced from $189 to $218 monthly with a one- or two-year contract. In comparison, 1Gbps fibre plans start from $39.

These 10Gbps plans promise maximum download speeds of between 8Gbps and 10Gbps.
Upload speeds top out at between 2.5Gbps and 10Gbps.
Mr Vincent Low, chief strategist at Akamai Technologies, said that Internet speeds continue to improve because consumers demand higher-quality videos. Those who use streaming video services or video conferencing will enjoy a better viewing experience with a 10Gbps connection, he said.
