Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel) has introduced a number of services on Singapore’s Next Generation National Broadband Network (NGNBN) deployed by OpenNet and on SingTel’s own fibre infrastructure. SingTel will provide services to both retail customers and to wholesale customers (retail service providers). SingTel will launch a high-speed fibre service, known as exStream, with downlink speeds of up to 200 Mbps. Customers can choose from three new packages which are designed with relevant applications.
