After I arrived in the airport I was told they would only open the check-in counter 3 hours before the flight. Is this the regular procedure? Why would SQ advertise something that is not true in their own website?
It does say 3 hours before departure. I hope you weren't reading SIN's details instead!

Although you are right that there are some things which aren't true on the website - if you have checked baggage, LHR's 45 minutes won't cut it - instead, it's an hour for LHR. Got to the counter an hour and a few minutes before a flight and the ground agents were rushing me to get to a counter and told me check-in was closing soon
