ViewQwest’s 2Gbps Fiber Broadband Now Commercially Available in Singapore, First in the World Outside of Japan

  • Leads Singapore Internet Service Providers to launch 2Gbps fiber broadband residential plan
  • ViewQwest offers fastest residential Internet connectivity in Singapore

Singapore, 16 March 2015 – ViewQwest, Singapore’s premium boutique Internet Service Provider, today announced the commercial availability of 2Gbps fiber broadband – the first in the world outside of Japan, and the fastest residential Internet connectivity in Singapore.

A trial of the 2Gbps fiber broadband implementation was held from November 2014 with a select group of 50 customers. Based on the trial feedback, ViewQwest developed a methodology to provision the 2Gbps fiber broadband service to customers with different setups, enabling customers to plug-and-play their routers and devices without needing to worry about configurations.

“Consumers are increasingly using their home networks for higher bandwidth activities – from downloading large files to streaming TV shows to even running their own businesses from home. We hear them, we understand how they use the Internet, and we want to offer them the fastest residential Internet connectivity available in the world. I am proud that my team has developed a plug-and-play methodology, enabling us to scale from our limited trials to being able to offer 2Gbps to all consumers in Singapore,” said Vignesa Moorthy, CEO, ViewQwest.
