Singtel has just launched a new "Priority Pass" at no additional charge for SingTel’s 7.2Mbps and 21Mbps mobile broadband plans. Those under this pass will allow priority for their data traffic when the network is
heavily loaded, thus ensuring smoother streaming and downloads.
However, SingTel claimed that as it has continuously invested in its network to provide more capacity, the introduction of Priority Plus does not affect the broadband experience of users of other plans.
I find the above paragraph a little weird because based on logic, if you put some customers on higher priority, the others will be on lower priority and thus the broadband experience will be affected for better or for worse.
Let's say if you're continuously investing in the network, then there is no need for this Priority Pass because your network should catch up with the broadband experience of the plans that are being offered.
Weird logic. I believe it's more likely that they practice prioritisation of traffic based on the price that you pay for the plans. The higher the price that you pay, the higher the priority. Oh well...
