Find out why dedicated is better than a shared access.

With SingNet ADSL, each customer has their own exclusive lane to send and receive data. This means that no matter the number of people accessing the information highway, the speed will remain the same because you have your own lane. Cable access, on the other hand does not offer dedicated lanes for customers. Rather they share the same expressway when accessing the Internet. [more]
