Singapore has had 10Gbps services available for many years already, for instance see this article from 2016:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.straitstimes.com&#x2F;tech&#x2F;pcs&#x2F;viewqwest-is-latest-to-offer-10gbps-plan" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.straitstimes.com&#x2F;tech&#x2F;pcs&#x2F;viewqwest-is-latest-to...</a><p>Very few people use it because 10gbps equipment carries a pretty hefty price premium over 1gbps and wireless standards could not get anywhere close to it until recently.<p>Even today with wifi7, you will be hogging a LOT of the available wireless spectrum. In a country like Singapore where most people live in dense apartment blocks the level of congestion is going to mean that you never see anywhere close to the theoretical maximum throughput on any wireless network.<p>The money would be much better spent helping them catch up to other countries with IPv6 deployment. Singapore has much less IPv6 deployment then its closest neighbor Malaysia, and even lags behind Myanmar:<p>Source: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stats.labs.apnic.net&#x2F;ipv6&#x2F;XD" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stats.labs.apnic.net&#x2F;ipv6&#x2F;XD</a>
