M1 offers 1Gbps plan and fixed voice service

Company provides a range of other competitive plans for high speed services using new fibre network.

M1 will launch its high-speed fibre broadband service with speeds of up to 1Gbps and fixed voice service on 1 September 2010. A range of new tariff plans, including Singapore’s first 1Gbps plan for homes and businesses will be available.

Four new broadband plans for residential customers with downlink speeds of 1Gbps, 100Mbps, 50Mbps and 25Mbps will be offered on the new fibre network. They will also provide maximum uplink speeds of up to 500Mbps to ensure the best streaming and gaming experience for customers, according to an M1 report.

These plans cost from S$39 per month for 25Mbps to S$399 per month for 1Gbps. The 100Mbps plan, at $59 per month, is the lowest in the market. Students who sign up for any M1 mobile plan will enjoy a special subscription rate of only S$39 for the 100Mbps broadband plan.

Residential broadband customers also have the option of signing up for free incoming and outgoing calls on M1 Fixed Voice, which is M1’s new fixed line service.

To mark the launch, M1 will offer a 3-month free trial of the fibre broadband service at 100Mbps to residential customers whose homes are ready for service. Customers can sign up for the free trial only on 1 September at any M1 Shop.

Residential customers whose homes are ready for service can sign up for the broadband and fixed voice services from 2 September at any M1 Shop.

For corporate customers, M1 will offer complete business solutions with customized offerings on the fibre network, including fixed voice, IP Centrex and managed services. A range of corporate plans with speeds from 10Mbps to 1Gbps based on GPON and Active Ethernet technology will be offered. Corporate customers can call 6655 5588 or contact their M1 account managers for the range of available services and plans.

“M1 has been gearing up for the launch of the fibre network which will open up a new world of innovative applications and rich content for homes and businesses. We are now ready to offer an enriched broadband experience at ultra high speeds to our customers and at the most competitive prices,” said Ms Karen Kooi, M1’s Chief Executive Officer.

“Our customers are invited to sign up for the free trial on 1 September to experience first-hand our services on the new fibre network,” she 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.
