from Singapore The May 2019 snapshot from Singapore’s residential wired broadband series captures a near-complete market transformation: fibre-based subscriptions reached 1,316,900 while DSL fell to just 1,300, data from the Info-communications Media Development Authority (IMDA) shows.

Top of the chart: Fibre’s meteoric rise Fibre subscriptions more than doubled across the 50-month window, climbing from 713,274 in April 2015 to a peak of 1.32 million by May 2019.

That represents a gain of over 600,000 connections, cementing fibre as the default wired broadband technology for Singapore households.

By the final reading, fibre alone accounted for nearly 96% of all residential wired subscriptions.

The other end: DSL’s quiet exit Copper-based DSL started the series with 163,198 subscriptions and contracted every single month without exception.

By May 2019, the total had withered to just 1,300 — a decline exceeding 99%.
