StarHub introduces 1 Gbps Dual-network plan

StarHub introduces a new plan, the Dual Broadband 1000, for consumers. As the name implies, it is a 1 Gbps fiber broadband. On top of that, StarHub is also providing another 100 Mbps cable line for this plan (hence the name Dual Network). It will be available from 22nd November.

StarHub Speeds Ahead with New 1Gbps Dual-network Plan

Singapore, 18 November 2014 – Customers shopping around for the finest 1Gbps home broadband plan have one more reason to wait, but not for long.

StarHub today took the wraps off its new 1Gbps home broadband plan Dual Broadband 1000, which will be available for sign-up beginning 22 November online at www.starhub.com/broadband or by visiting any StarHub Shop or authorised dealer.

For a single monthly fee of $69.90 (usual: $99.90/month), StarHub’s Dual Broadband 1000 plan will offer homeowners a complementary pair of high-speed broadband connections – 1Gbps over fibre plus 100Mbps over cable.

For extensive Wi-Fi coverage at home, Dual Broadband 1000 customers will receive two free wireless networking devices, including the ultra-fast wireless AC dual-band gigabit router (D-Link DIR-868L) worth $319, as a limited-time launch promotion.

The launch of Dual Broadband 1000 comes just months after StarHub in May introduced Dual Broadband 500, the market-first integrated fibre and cable home broadband solution.

“StarHub is the only service provider to integrate two high-speed broadband technologies in a single plan for our customers to enjoy the widest and most reliable in-home coverage. This unique dual-network advantage enables us to offer customers unrivalled value and service resilience for greater peace-of-mind,” said Ms Lin Shu Fen, Head of Entertainment & SmartLife, StarHub. “Dual Broadband is especially relevant for customers who simultaneously access various bandwidth-intensive services, such as cloud, social networking, video streaming and gaming, across multiple devices in the comfort of their home.”
