Fibre Broadband
More high speed broadband access options with StarHub Home Broadband
The Next Generation Nationwide Broadband Network (Next Gen NBN) is an initiative by IDA to build an island-wide fibre network that offers high speed broadband within Singapore.
The industry structure comprises of a NetCo, OpCo and Retail Service Providers. OpenNet (NetCo) is responsible for designing, building and operating of the passive infrastructure while Nucleus Connect (OpCo) provides wholesale network services over the active infrastructure.
Leveraging on new fibre technology, StarHub as a Retail Service Provider buys wholesale network services from Nucleus Connect to offer MaxInfinity service in addition to MaxOnline, our existing high speed broadband access service. MaxInfinity complements MaxOnline by offering an alternative to users who also require high upload speed for bandwidth-intensive video applications such as HD video conferencing, HD surveillance and uploading of large files.
Cable vs Fibre Network
MaxOnline is transmitted over Hybrid Fibre-Coaxial network that provides Fibre-to-the-Node (FTTN). The fibre connection terminates at the node which is located less than 1km away from the home. The coaxial cable wiring continues the connection from the node into the home.

Fibre to the Node (FTTN)
MaxInfinity is transmitted over Next Gen NBN that provides Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) . The fibre connection terminates within the home. Though the transmission of data between cable network and fibre network is different, data transmission speed between FTTH and FTTN is less than 1 nanosecond.
