Info-communications Media Development Authority (IMDA) historical telecom statistics for Singapore dial-up internet subscriptions. The Total Internet Dial Up monthly series documents paid and formerly free dial-up penetration from the late 1990s through 2019, reflecting market liberalisation and the phase-out of free access. Researchers studying Singapore’s digital adoption path, legacy access technologies, and regulatory transitions will find a continuous monthly CSV suitable for time-series charts. Subscription counts are rounded as noted in the official description.
The "Internet Dial-up Penetration Rate" includes: (i) subscriptions to paid Internet access service for all IASPs, including ISDN dial-up subscriptions; and (ii) subscriptions to free Internet access. Following full telecom market liberalisation, the number of IASPs has increased considerably. Starting from Jan 2001, the published figures on the Internet dial-up market include contributions from such new IASPs. With the cessation of free dial-up Internet access offered by service providers by 31 Mar 2008, the number of dial-up Internet subscriptions only covers paid Internet access subscriptions. All figures for subscriptions are rounded to the nearest hundred.
