Singapore Becomes First
Country in the World to Commercially Launch 100Mbps Residential
Broadband Service Nation-wide Using DOCSIS 3.0 Technology |
|
StarHub Combines DOCSIS 3.0
and Velocity to OfferallStarHub MaxOnline (MOL) Customers
Ultra-High Broadband Speeds |
|
|
From tomorrow, Singapore will become
the first country in the world to commercially launch 100Mbps
residential broadband services nation-wide, as StarHub marks
another milestone with its deployment of DOCSIS 3.0 technology. |
|
To ensure that all MOL customers can
experience the full capabilities of DOCSIS 3.0 and access
ultra-high broadband speeds immediately, StarHub has combined this
network upgrade with VELOCITY, StarHub¡¯s content-collaboration
programme that makes it easy for companies providing online
content and services to host their applications in Singapore. |
|
Combining the DOCSIS 3.0 access with
the VELOCITY programme, StarHub has created a dual-mode network
profile for each MOL cable modem connection: |
-
A full-speed profile, for accessing
locally-hosted content such as those provided by VELOCITY
partners;
-
A prescribed-speed profile, for accessing other
Internet content hosted overseas at the price point customers
prefer;
|
|
Based on StarHub¡¯s on-going
residential broadband market research, this dual-mode network
profile is used to better serve the needs of all MOL customers. |
|
With this development, StarHub will
simultaneously introduce the following across-the-board upgrade to
all its MOL broadband plans, effective tomorrow. |
|
SPEED BOOST FOR SUBSCRIBERS WITH
DOCSIS 1.1 CABLE MODEM |
|
Customers of MOL Express (formerly MOL
6000), FlexiSurf Express (formerly FlexiSurf 6000) and MOL Premium
(formerly MOL 12000), using a DOCSIS 1.1 cable modem, will be able
to experience broadband speeds of up to 32Mbps via the full-speed
profile, when they access popular websites and web-based services
hosted within StarHub¡¯s Velocity programme. |
|
Concurrently, broadband speeds to
access non-Velocity sites will be based on the customer¡¯s
subscribed plan via the prescribed-speed profile (i.e. up to 6Mbps
for MOL Express and FlexiSurf Express and up to 12Mbps for MOL
Premium). |
|
MOL Ultimate users will get two
network profiles ¨C full-speed and prescribed speed ¨C that will
give them a speed boost of up to 32Mbps regardless of whether they
access Velocity or non-Velocity websites. |
