Troubleshooting ViewQwest Issues
Common ViewQwest connection problems and how to fix them.
ViewQwest 10 Gbps speeds are much lower than expected
Cause: Most routers and devices cannot reach 10 Gbps over WiFi. Ethernet cable quality matters.
- Use a Cat 6a or Cat 7 Ethernet cable for speeds above 1 Gbps
- Ensure your device has a 10 Gbps network adapter
- The eero Max 7 WiFi 7 router maxes out around 4-5 Gbps over WiFi
- Connect directly to the ONT with Ethernet to test maximum speed
- Restart the optical network terminal and router
Freedom DNS is not unblocking geo-restricted content
Cause: DNS settings may not be configured, or the streaming service detects VPN-like behavior.
- Ensure Freedom DNS is activated in your ViewQwest account portal
- Set your router DNS to the ViewQwest Freedom DNS servers
- Clear your browser cache and cookies before testing
- Try a different browser or incognito mode
- Contact ViewQwest support if the service is not working

ViewQwest Speed Test FAQ
Why did ViewQwest remove the 3 Gbps and 5 Gbps plans?
ViewQwest discontinued its 3 Gbps and 5 Gbps fiber plans in 2024 and now offers only 10 Gbps broadband. The company simplified its product lineup to focus on the highest speed tier at competitive pricing. The 10 Gbps No Frills plan starts at SGD 30 per month for the first 12 months, which is comparable to what many providers charge for 2-3 Gbps plans. This strategy positions ViewQwest as the most affordable 10 Gbps provider in Singapore.
What is ViewQwest Freedom DNS?
Freedom DNS is ViewQwest's proprietary DNS service that allows subscribers to access geo-restricted streaming content from other countries. It works by routing DNS queries through ViewQwest's servers to bypass geographic restrictions on streaming platforms. Freedom DNS comes free for the first 3 months with all ViewQwest broadband plans and costs extra afterward. It differs from a VPN because it does not encrypt all traffic, so it has less impact on speed.
Is ViewQwest the fastest ISP in Singapore?
ViewQwest won the Ookla Speedtest Award for Fastest Fixed Network in Singapore for five consecutive years from 2018 to 2022. The company was also named Broadband Telecom Company of the Year at the Asian Telecom Awards 2023. However, all Singapore fiber ISPs use the same NetLink Trust infrastructure, so the underlying connection speed is comparable. ViewQwest's speed advantage comes from network optimization and routing efficiency rather than different physical infrastructure.
How much does ViewQwest 10 Gbps cost?
ViewQwest 10 Gbps No Frills costs SGD 30 per month for the first 12 months, then SGD 45 per month on a 24-month contract. The 10 Gbps with eero Max 7 WiFi 7 router costs SGD 45 per month for the first 10 months, then SGD 60 per month. Activation fees of SGD 115.54 are typically waived during promotional periods. All plans include unlimited data and symmetrical upload and download speeds.
