That page reeks of marketing gimic. I suggest you stick to the 1Gbps and under plans unless you have a use for 2 seperate networks.
I doubt the "optimised" network for gaming does anything special. Undersea network cables are fixed and there is nothing an individual can do to reduce latency from them. If you want lower latency, play on local game servers.
Razor does not have a history of making network equipments. I would at least stick to a brand that makes network equipment as their main product.
which is good? this or the singtel 2gbps?

marketing gimmick or its a real deal, must test out then can conclude, you're too quick to judge man...
Have you use WTFast? basically its a proxy server that is independent from your ISP. I have never tried it but here is an explanation of itthen how do u explain lower pings when someone from sg subscribes to WTFast vpn?
WTFast is a load of bollocks. Read somewhere that its only useful if you ISP routing is garbage. If you have a crappy ISP, WTFast may help. If not it just makes your connection worse.
Singtel claims reduce lag but the only evidence they claim is made up buzzwords like GPN , zerowait DFS, hybrid mesh, wtfast server. With no technical information whatsoever. It's quite obvious Singtel is targeting the less savvy user who does not know better
Looking at the marketing buzzwords like "zerowait DFS", this Razer Sila is very likely a collaboration with Ignition Design Labs, which created the Portal router.Razor does not have a history of making network equipments.

well that's your own assumption, i wouldnt condemn it at this point when its relatively new. There could be more information coming out depending on the uptake of sign ups.
if its indeed nothing substantial but just gimmick, i'm sure singtel is liable legally for an explanation, which i don't think they are that dumb to put themselves into this situation.
Comparing to other ISPs, their gamers' plan also nothing technical explicitly mentioned, are they targeting the less savvy too?
you subscribed to WTFast?
the free version is useless if you are referring to that.

Need someone to be the test pig and try.
Is it 2 separate 1GB lines on 2 separate VLANs on the router?
Does external IP checker show different external IPs on gaming PC and normal surfing?
Or is it a 2GBps line with 2 VLANs on the router with traffic limiting rules of 1GBps for each line?
There are a number of ways to do this but I suspect it's a 2GBPs line with 2 VLANs on the router and routing policies attached with 1GBps traffic limiting rules. If Singtel says "Ok, attach your gaming PC to ports 1 and 2, all other home surfing devices to ports 3 and 4". Then highly likely its a 2GBps line with 2 VLANs.
