ViewQwest ups the ante in high-speed broadband

Singapore

THE race for ultra-high fibre broadband speeds is about to hot up, as upstart ViewQwest on Tuesday launched a 10Gbps fibre broadband plan for homes in Singapore's first end-to-end service.

The boutique Internet Service Provider (ISP) has partnered Aftershock PC, a homegrown custom PC (personal computer) maker, to build specially customised PCs that can exploit the uber-fast throughputs of a 10Gbps line, providing a "comprehensive solution" for consumers.
