Saw this newspaper ad yesterday in my hotel room in Singapore. It’s a switch-over promo by M1, one of the telcos in SG, which offers up to 1,000Mbps fiber internet to the home.
At first I thought it was just a typo but it’s all real — 1Gbps download speed and 500Mbps upload speed.
The price — SGD$399 or about Php13,300 a month. M1 (formerly Mobile One) is the 3rd and smallest ISP in Singapore. It has recently migrated to Next Generation Nationwide Broadband Network (NGNBN) which allows speeds of up to 1Gbps.
The closest we have here is 112Mbps from SkyBroadband at Php19,999.
is the theory maybe download got half the supossed to be speed like all connection. example: wifi anyone got 450 mps to their home network :(
is theorical maybe download got half the supossed toi be speed like all connection and wifi any got 450 mps to their home network :(
Shame on you Jason..pano mgbabago pinas sarili mong gawaing pgkakorakot kinamamalaki mo.. kawawa naman kaming ordinaryong tao
Too bad, Internet technology in the Philippines is stalled at stone age and super expensive! Yeah, it’s expensive to maintain old technology…
Ideal for streaming HD Videos and Movies online =D
there is that “up to” again. that 1Gb speed is for local traffic only AFAIK. International bandwidth is different. All of the ISPs here sits on top of fiber network by OpenNet. http://www.opennet.com.sg/
Some may take advantage of the 1Gb local traffic since there’s abundant local content and Amazon Asia Pacific (ec2, s3, cloudfront,etc). Imagine being able to upload/download at high speed to/from your S3 bucket.
But i will never exchange my 5mbit link in phils with a 1000mbit link in SG for reasons some readers already pointed out. ie torrent
It’s a great advancement for Singapore to have such promo’s like these for their services to the millions of citizens and tourists everyday.I myself is enjoying their Wireless SG conexion.Anywhere you go here in singapore,its Wifi infested country.Even if ur UP their in SKYPARK,that Uboat like building along marina sands bay.Sana ganito sa Philippines,when u buy a Sim,ur passport must be scan.1Gb connexion for broadband sa RP,sana next year nah!..
malamang si Pnoy/Kris ang makaka-experience nang 1gbps broadband
eh Globe Unlimited SuperSurf nga ngayon is 1GB ang Cap at hindi naka makaka internet if you reach 1GB limit. 50pesos per 1GB.
Corruption prevents advancement in this country on so many levels, it’s impossible to count. I make my money in that same, corrupt manner, so I’m not complaining, but it’s the truth. If a company wants to invest in broadband infrastructure, 30% of the investment comes off the top, at a minimum. Not only does this degrade the quality of the intended advancement, it scares away potential candidates. I was going to invest in fiber of Manila, only to see that before it reached my hands, the profit would be nothing for a decade on the project. Sad, but the way it is… Too expensive to connect around here.. Most countries have faster 3G than the majority of Internet users here. The speed here is laughable. And sickening if you’ve ever used the Internet in another country outside of africa…
@random
you’re right the telcos would feel threatened and offer better and cheaper internet with NBN tapos from what i hear ang slowest speed sa plan ng NBN was 800kbps-1mbps not sure about that though
if ever magkaroon nyan dito sa pinas., o kahit close to that speed lang., e malamang can’t afford naman yan kahit pa ng middle-income Juan Dela Cruz.
