On StarHub’s Facebook page, users expressed that they were facing network issues at various locations across the island, such as Punggol, Yishun, Hougang and Bishan.
StarHub subsequently published an update at 12.40pm, informing customers that it had partially restored its fix broadband services.
The number of reports on Downdetector’s site dwindled after the update.
The company posted a second update at 2.10pm, sharing that its fixed broadband services were fully restored.
It urged users who were still facing network problems to restart their Optical Network Terminal (ONT) and router devices.
“We are sorry for the inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience,” the company wrote.
However, some customers claim they continued facing network issues after the update.
One customer reported that his broadband device near Serangoon North was still not functioning at 3.29pm.
