StarHub sheds 3,000 broadband subscribers in Q1

But the segment ARPU was stable at $37.

As subscribers opt to go for fibre broadband, StarHub has lost 3,000 residential broadband subscribers in the first quarter of the year.

According to UOB Kayhian, despite the shedding of subscribers, the group's average revenue per user (ARPU) remained stable at $37.

Overall, the group's broadband revenue was slightly higher at $54m, thanks to an increased mix of customers on the higher speed fibre plans.

Meanwhile, the group's enterprise fixed segment is gaining traction. UOB Kayhian said revenue from data & Internet increased 6.6%.

"Management plans to expand managed services that bundles connectivity with analytics and security solutions. It also intends to secure more enterprise customers and reduce the reliance on its wholesale business," the brokerage firm said.

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.
