this shows singtel take pride with their eyeballs

@ksw2010
Just wondering if you can give this test a try from your side.
Now I can not easily test with different IPv4 address segment any more -- using Singtel ZTE F8648P ONR now with the newly installed Singtel 5Gbps plan.

Quality routing > high bandwidth plan
If you often venture to overseas sites/servers without local cdn (eg not Google/facebook/tiktok/yt), you start to realise anything >1Gbps is pointless because firstly
1) overseas connection itself has a throttled bandwidth 2) most lag is cause by high ping and jitters, packet losses and throttling caused by low quality or congested routes
Singtel and M1 users can see for themselves what I mean here:https://proof.ovh.net/. Wait for the applet to load and choose any IPv4 EU location like Gravelines or Limburg run the test during peak period
![]()
Doesn't matter whether 1Gbps or 10Gbps when your speed is throttled to 200kb/s due to trash routes taken
Night time , peak hour ? Tested from my mobile
![]()
M1's IPV6 to Gravelines/Limburg seems to be 1000x faster than IPV4.![]()

No la. Not mainstream Telco.Ya like right now moi also getting max 2Mbps down on M1 and singtel mobile. same result at 7pm using friend's singtel broadband
U test Singtel ah? semo IP block is yours
Different routing on ipv6. Ipv4 downlink go by Singtel upstream![]()

@Mach3.2 will like this test very much.
Your VQ results are quite decent.
Singtel is so so so bad with this test. You can see my test results below, using WiFi (but WiFi should not be the real issue here -- got good connection using RT-AX86U router at 3m distance only.

Interesting. There are different paths taken for different Singtel IP blocks.Singtel, wireless from my laptop (Acer Swift 2021 model with Intel AX201 WiFi 6 adapter), Asus TUF-BE6500 wireless router (2.5Gbe WAN port). I am using Singtel 5Gbps plan.
Singtel ZTE F8648P ONR bridged 10G LAN port --> Intel N100 OpenWRT virtual router --> 2.5G/10G switch --> TUF-BE6500 router --> wireless --> Acer Laptop running Windows 11 24H2
Results: using IPv4 (42.60.xxx.xxx, Singtel AS9506), about 7:40am, Saturday 28-Dec-2024

On top of all of this, what’s the content and real-life situation? If for example it’s a 196 Kb/s stream of German opera, none of these measurements matter. Any of these test results will do fine. Your German opera stream will sound and perform exactly the same. In contrast, if you’re working for DW as a video editor and need to send and receive huge video recordings to/from Europe on tight deadlines, OK, maybe the quality and capacity of your ISP’s routes to Europe will matter — the fibre bandwidth into your home office, much less so. (How many people are DW video editors working at home in Singapore?)
Note that the Internet, especially internationally, is variable. With Russian and Chinese ships now intentionally dragging anchors to sever undersea links, expect some variable capacity constraints to certain destinations. And don’t worry about the fibre bandwidth into your home. Literally all contract offers, even the least expensive, are amazing in terms of how fast the link is between your home and NetLink Trust’s infrastructure.
The above test was done on 15-August-2024.
Now it is 28-Dec-2024. Still using wireless, 4m away from Asus TUF-BE6500. The results look better now.
Singtel ZTE F8648P ONR bridged 10G LAN port --> Intel N100 OpenWRT virtual router --> 2.5G/10G switch --> TUF-BE6500 router --> wireless --> Acer 2021 Laptop running Windows 11 24H2 (Intel Core i5-1135G7 CPU, 16GB/512GB, Intel AX201 WiFi 6 adapter)
Tested twice.

If you see your speedtest result you will know you are wrong. If you are on 1Gbps plan then no way you can get 2896 Mbps DL, the most is 300 Mbps only. I tested many times. If 1Gbps to US it can be just 30 to 300 Mbps only with ipv6.Quality routing > high bandwidth plan
If you often venture to overseas sites/servers without local cdn (eg not Google/facebook/tiktok/yt), you start to realise anything >1Gbps is pointless because firstly
1) overseas connection itself has a throttled bandwidth 2) most lag is cause by high ping and jitters, packet losses and throttling caused by low quality or congested routes
Singtel and M1 users can see for themselves what I mean here:https://proof.ovh.net/. Wait for the applet to load and choose any IPv4 EU location like Gravelines or Limburg run the test during peak period

Doesn't matter whether 1Gbps or 10Gbps when your speed is throttled to 200kb/s due to trash routes taken
