SingTel Offers 1.5 Mbps DSL Bandwidth-on-Demand Boost

SingTel began offering its DSL subscribers a 1.5 Mbps Bandwidth-On-Demand (BOD) bursting service that provides a faster, dedicated download speed whenever subscribers need it. In addition, customers pay only for bandwidth used, rather than a monthly flat rate. The service is available to SingTel subscribers with current bandwidth caps of either 256kbps or 512kbps. To use the service, SingNet BroadBand users log-on to a special domain and the faster speed will begin. Bandwidth is charged at an introductory price of 10 cents (Singapore) per MB. Customers then need to log-off when their downloads are over.


SingTel's broadband subscriber base exceeded 158,000 as of 30-June-2003.
