Very few people use it because 10gbps equipment carries a pretty hefty price premium over 1gbps and wireless standards could not get anywhere close to it until recently.
Even today with wifi7, you will be hogging a LOT of the available wireless spectrum. In a country like Singapore where most people live in dense apartment blocks the level of congestion is going to mean that you never see anywhere close to the theoretical maximum throughput on any wireless network.
The money would be much better spent helping them catch up to other countries with IPv6 deployment. Singapore has much less IPv6 deployment then its closest neighbor Malaysia, and even lags behind Myanmar:
Excellent point on potential wifi speeds. When I was living there, wifi speeds were horrible, even with tuning of channels, TX/RX power/sensivity and sorts. The spectrum is just incredibly jammed with uncontrolled amount of devices.
I don't understand why so many Fiber providers are IPv6 reluctant. Our last fiber provider (Frontier) abandoned it before it started. I'm on a fiber provider now w/ a choice of 8+ ISPs. Zero of them offer IPv6. I'm reading up on getting my own IPv6 AS.
Which country are you from?
The fiber provider I was assigned to by default put me behind CGNAT. To me, this hints to me that they don't have as many IPv4 as they need. I politely requested that they unNAT me and they eventually did.
notable: Their default DNS server can't resolve over half the common domains I tried, inc the one for their their own site. It returns an empty response.
Otherwise their service seems okay. I'm still switching to another provider - one that seems more grown up and sells 2.5Gb for $80/mo.
