Singapore's National Broadband Network

Singapore's residential internet runs on the OpenNet and NetLink Trust infrastructure — a nationwide passive optical network that all ISPs access under the same underlying fibre, competing on service and pricing rather than physical lines.

  • All ISPs share the same physical fibre; speed differences are at the provider level
  • 10 Gbps symmetric plans now available from select providers
  • 99.9% uptime SLAs standard across tier-1 residential plans
