El Reg reports

Singapore's dominant telco, Singtel, has announced a pilot deployment of 10Gbps broadband to a select group next quarter and says that it expects the blistering fast Internet service to be generally available by the later part of this year.

The high speed connectivity is only possible due to the completion of Singapore's Next Generation Nationwide Broadband Network (Next Gen NBN) initiative--a master plan to wire up every corner of the city-state with fibre optics.

[...] 10Gbps services are rare anywhere: telcos in Hong Kong and Korea are experimenting with broadband at these speeds while US Internet offers such a service in Minneapolis. Singtel stepping up and promising commercial services by year's end is therefore globally noteworthy.

    As I sit here with a broadband sold as 100 Mb/s but lucky to get 100 Kb/s.

    Most likely the bandwidth we share in the future will be eaten up similarily by advertiser bandits.

    Yeah, the NBN sucks. Pity. It could have been wonderful. Now the wonder isn't as good as ADSL2+
