Singapore now provides one of the world's cheapest home broadband connections alongside other Asian technohubs with today's launch of MyRepublic's 1Gbps plan.
With a monthly fee of $49.99, the cost of each Mbps in MyRepublic's plan is now down to five cents, compared with the previous low of 13.9 cents for each Mbps with SingTel's 500Mbps plan, which costs $69.95 a month.
That makes MyRepublic's plan currently the cheapest 1Gbps connection available in Singapore.
The cost for each Mbps is 2.5 cents in South Korea, three cents in Japan and and 3.5 cents in Hong Kong.
dun forget the speed is "up to"
Cheaper better faster.
Sure got throttled one lah.
Why more expensive than japan, hong kong and south korea?
I think it is very stupid to break it down to Mbps per cents and compare it with other countries.
Other countries don't necessarily only have 1 telco provider for broadband, they could have 10, and just chose the cheapest or average to compare.
And, it might not be a fibre line which is somewhat the norm here these days. They say south korea, you know how ginormous south korea is? Does it cover the geograpy of Geoje? Let's not even go into Japan.
They call this cheap, hahahahahahah!
who signed up?
Well, and we're no.6 on world's fastest broadband speed... HK, seoul and Japan all faster then us...
Quite surprisingly, HK is first, despite how packed it is...
We need to be more packed than HK.
