SingTel drops fibre connectivity costs for businesses

Businesses can now look forward to even faster internet connection with Singtel’s new fibre optic service at lower prices.

Ms Chan Yim Leng, SingTel’s Vice President of Business Products, said: “In the market today, businesses typically pay about $500 per month for a 10 Mbps copper connection to their private office network. They can now enjoy up to ten times the speed at around the same price with this new fibre-based service.

Singtel expects the new high-speed service will benefit businesses greatly in using cloud computing and other bandwidth hungry infocomm applications such as high-definition video conferencing.

The service is called Meg@POP eLite and offers symmetrical speeds of up to 100 Mbps, with the capability of scaling up to 1 Gbps in the future.

“With Meg@POP eLite, SMEs can enjoy powerful ICT solutions and business software that only large companies could afford in the past. These solutions allow them to avoid heavy upfront investments in ICT infrastructure and maintenance costs, while improving productivity and simplifying business operations,” Ms Chan added.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
