StarHub is trialling “ultraspeed broadband”, the first telco in Singapore to trial nationwide broadband using the new 10G-XGS-PON standard.

The potential is up to 10 Gbps, which would be 10 times the speed of standard broadband, StarHub said, highlighting the use for gaming and HD/4K/8K video streaming, and other high-bandwidth application.

StarHub is charging S$119.90/US$89.76 a month for the ultraspeed service.
