Broadband in Singapore is the cheapest per megabit per month in the world

Cable.co.uk, with the assistance of international consumer insight consultancy BVA BDRC, analysed 3,303 fixed-line broadband deals in 195 countries that were gathered between 15 August and 20 September 2018.

According to their analysis, Singapore’s broadband offers rank it as 118th most expensive in the world and 10th most expensive in Asia with an average monthly package price of USD50.43 (S$68.45). That actually not too bad, putting it lower on the price list than Philippines, Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and even Laos which is surprising the 3rd most expensive in the world and most expensive in Asia.

Neighbouring Malaysia offers broadband that’s slight cheaper than Singapore, ranking 11th in Asia & 120th in the world for most expensive broadband at USD47.92 (S$65.04).

When looking at the average cost of per megabit per month, Singapore’s offer is the best at only $0.03 per megabit per month. That implies that in terms of value for money, Singapore’s broadband package prices are the best in the world – the only other Asian country in the top 10 being South Korea at $0.21 per megabit per month. This could be attributed to the infrastructure built by the governments as well as the relative size of the country compared to others in terms of land mass. So someone living in a remote area in and that would greatly affect package prices.
