Singapore's internet fees amongst world's lowest at 39th place: study

At $21.78 per month, the country’s average fee is cheaper than most countries.

When measured against 62 countries, Singapore’s average internet price per month - $21.78 - at a 500 mbps speed passes as an affordable rate, according to a study by promotions and discounts company Picodi.

Singapore ended at the 39th rank, whilst South Africa registered with the highest rated internet monthly fee of $87.24, followed by Iceland with $69.05. Meanwhile, the cheapest rates were found to be in Eastern Europe with Russia at $8, and Ukraine at $6 at 100 mbps speed.

Singapore similarly emerged to be on the cheaper side when fared against fees for providing premium internet service. At 1 gbps, the country’s average monthly fee is at $29. In 24 out of 44 countries, where providers offer such speed, a monthly price exceeds $50. Super-fast internet is the most expensive in Austria and Australia at $220 and $231 respectively. Meanwhile, the cheapest fee for 1 gbps internet comes from Romania at just $9 per month.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
