Which ViewQwest fibre broadband speed is best?

Broadband plans in Singapore are among the fastest in the world, and ViewQwest is the fastest according to Ookla’s Speedtest Awards. Providers offer symmetrical download and upload speeds. This means a 1Gbps plan can reach download and upload speeds of up to 1Gbps. All broadband internet connections in Singapore are suitable for emails, web browsing, social media and online gaming.

Most homes should have more than enough download and upload speed from a 500Mbps fibre broadband plan. Compared to 1Gbps and faster plans, there’s money to be saved with 500Mbps plans. Consider 200Mbps or 300Mbps plans for further savings (where offered). ViewQwest doesn’t offer plans below 1Gbps, though.

Here are some other common uses for different fibre broadband internet speeds in Singapore (bold speeds are available from ViewQwest fibre broadband plans):

200Mbps: Multiple 4K video streams, fast file transfers, multiple game streams
300Mbps: More 4K video streams, faster file transfers, more game streams
500Mbps: 4K streams for all devices, faster still file transfers, game streams for all devices

1Gbps: all of the above, seamless cloud interaction, small business-grade internet speeds

2Gbps: all of the above, separate personal/work internet, medium business-grade internet speeds

10Gbps: all of the above, enterprise-grade internet speeds
