Singtel launches ultra-fast broadband for gamers

Singtel has launched a new ultra-fast fiber broadband service targeted at gamers, which comes bundled with a dedicated gaming Wi-Fi modem.

The new 1+1 Gbps Fibre Pro Gamer Bundle comes with the newly launched Razer Sila gaming router and a subscription to the WTFast Gamer Private Network service, which is designed to automatically connect gamers to the fastest servers.

The bundle is priced at S$69.60 ($50.41) on a 24-month contract, and connects to a dual network which comprises 1Gbps of dedicated bandwidth for gaming and another 1Gbps for regular internet usage.

The dedicated bundle is being launched today at the opening day of Singtel’s first PVP Esports Championship in Suntec City, a three day event featuring teams from Australia, India, Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand competing for a $300,000 prize pool.

“We are pleased to offer our customers this broadband bundle that’s specially designed for online gaming during our inaugural PVP Esports Championship event,” Singtel CEO consumer Singapore and group chief digital officer Yuen Kuan Moon said.

“Online gaming is extremely popular with our customers. This requires high connectivity performance and specialized devices to optimize the gaming experience. By bringing together Singtel’s superior network connectivity and Razer’s Sila gaming router, we believe the 1+1 Gbps Fibre Pro Gamer Bundle will provide the ultimate performance for gamers.”
