Study Notes
Singtel Symmetrical Broadband
- Singtel offers 3Gbps-10Gbps symmetrical broadband plans.
- XGS-PON Optical Network Router (ONR) is included, enabling equal upload and download speeds.
- Maximum advertised speeds (e.g., 10Gbps) are theoretical maximums under ideal conditions.
- Realistic speeds (typical speeds) are averages experienced most of the time, at least 90% of the time.
- Speeds vary due to background applications, security software, the number of connected devices, and environmental factors like walls, floors, or reflective surfaces.
- Wired connections generally provide maximum speeds and are less susceptible to interference than Wi-Fi.
- WiFi speeds depend on the internet plan, WiFi standard (e.g., Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6), distance from the router, and obstacles.
System Requirements for Wired Broadband
- Macintosh: Apple M1 chip or better, 16GB RAM minimum, 256GB SSD minimum, macOS 13 or later, 10 Gigabit Ethernet port or Thunderbolt 3, and appropriate adapter.
- PC: Intel i5-7600 Quad-Core 3.5 GHz or better processor, 16GB RAM minimum, 256GB SSD minimum, Windows 11 or later, 10 Gigabit Ethernet port or equivalent PCIe adapter.
- Listed requirements are needed to achieve maximum wired speeds of up to 10Gbps.
Optimizing Internet Speeds
- Close applications that consume significant bandwidth.
- Disable security software (antivirus and firewall) that can interrupt network traffic.
- Limit the number of simultaneously connected devices.
- Use a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi for optimal performance.
Technical Assistance
- Singtel provides remote and on-site technical assistance.
- On-site assistance may incur charges.
- Online support and customer care representatives are available.
