Every ISPs (Internet Service Provider) in Singapore seems to be overly anxious in up-ing the residential broadband services. After Singtel and Superinternet, ViewQwest today launched its premium 10Gbps consumer fibre broadband service at SGD 218 per month and it is now available to all households in Singapore.
Such speeds which were made excusive for business users in the past is now available for residential users. With that kind of speed, consumers can, theoretically download a 4K movie in a matter of minutes. However, that is provided you have sufficient computing power to do so.
To provide a comprehensive solution for consumers, ViewQwest is partnering homegrown PC-maker Aftershock PC to build specially customised PCs with all the necessary components that can take advantage of the uber-fast throughputs of the 10Gbps line.
ViewQwest’s 10Gbps line makes use of Metro Ethernet technology which offers symmetrical 10Gbps upstream and downstream speeds, unlike the rival GPon solutions which offers 10Gbps downlinks but only approximately 2Gbps up.
Consumers, especially early adopters who sign up for high-end 10Gbps lines expect nothing but the very best, yet in today’s marketplace they have to figure out for themselves how to customise a compatible computer and set up a home network which can enjoy the maximum speeds of the 10Gbps line.
That is why ViewQwest has entered into the special partnership with Aftershock as well as launched its new ViewQwest Black 10Gbps broadband plan which comes with a business-class service which includes a dedicated 24/7 customer support phone line as well as premium next-business day on-site support. Members will also get a host of exclusive deals including SGD 200 off the exclusive customised Aftershock Boost – a 10Gbps-ready PC and an additional ten per cent discount on all gadgets sold on ViewQwest’s e-shop. The exclusive Aftershock Boost will be available from SGD 2,800 onwards.
“Excellent customer service is deeply rooted in ViewQwest’s DNA and the ViewQwest Black 10Gbps plan, we aim to go beyond to provide a hassle-free end-to-end experience for our customers – from sign up to aftersales support. Knowing that we are strategically aligned with Aftershock PC, we are confident about translating this partnership into value-added service for our customers,” added Vignesa.
Marcus Wee, Technical Director and Founder, Aftershock PC said: “As homegrown companies, both Aftershock PC and ViewQwest thoroughly understands the needs of consumers individually. We are excited how this partnership is naturally complementary and how this will affect the quality of broadband service in Singapore to take it to higher standards.”
