Broadband Plans in Singapore Compared

Eight providers sell residential fibre broadband in Singapore, and they all sell it over the same fibre. NetLink Trust owns the last mile into every flat and every landed house, so the thing that separates a mobile network from its rivals — whose towers the signal uses — has no equivalent here. What separates broadband providers is retail terms: what you are committed to, what hardware arrives, what happens when you move, and what happens when you leave.

That makes the usual comparison shape useless. On 21 September 2026 we recorded 28 current plans from 8 providers, and three of them advertise the same headline price of $29.99 for the same advertised tier. One provider charges more for a plan with no router than for a plan with two. Another publishes a plan whose monthly charge is $46 and whose 24-month subscription is $816 rather than the $1,104 that figure implies. Price is not carrying the information a price-ordered list assumes it carries.

So this is a comparison and not a ranking. There is no plan at the top of this page, because the evidence does not support putting one there. What follows is the whole matrix as published, the terms that only appear in contract documents, and then a set of questions that narrow it down depending on what you actually want.

Every figure here was read first-party from a provider’s own pages on 21 September 2026: 28 plans across 8 providers — GOMO, M1, MyRepublic, SIMBA, Singtel, StarHub, ViewQwest and WhizComms. No authoritative retail register of broadband providers exists to close the set against, so the set is described as the current consumer set rather than as complete. GOMO is recorded as a Singtel sub-brand rather than as an unrelated ninth provider; its own terms name Singnet as the entity receiving one-time charges.

One methodological change did more to this page than anything else. An earlier round of this research concluded that early termination charges were published by nobody, and relocation terms by nobody, and GST by almost nobody. That was true of marketing pages and false of the market. Reading each provider’s terms document is now a required step rather than an optional one, and doing it reversed all three findings: four providers publish an early-termination formula, four publish a relocation figure, four state GST treatment, and three publish a delivery charge. None of that appears on a plan card.

The consequence for a reader is blunt. The fields most likely to cost you money are the fields you will not find where you are shopping. They are in a PDF linked from a footer, and this page pulls them out.

Two things are deliberately not done here. Advertised hardware values are never subtracted from the monthly price: SIMBA bundles items it values at roughly $1,548 against a plan costing $29.99 per 30 days, and netting those off would make the service free, which it is not. And a missing amount is never written as zero. Where a provider states that a charge applies without stating what it is, this page says the amount is not established, which is what the evidence supports.

Taking less hardware can cost more. MyRepublic publishes a 10Gbps plan with no router at $33.99 a month, and a 10Gbps plan bundling two Huawei routers it values at $398 at $29.99 a month. A reader sorting by monthly price and picking the cheaper row would be told to take more equipment than they wanted; a reader who wanted no router would pay four dollars a month for the privilege.

The monthly charge and the contract can disagree. ViewQwest’s three plans charge $29, $32 and $46 a month. Multiplying by 24 gets the first two contracts right, at $696 and $768, and the third wrong by nearly $300: its subscription is $816, not $1,104, because the $46 is the charge for only six of the 24 contracted months and the rest are contracted lower. Monthly charge times term is arithmetic that happens to work on most of this table and silently fails on one row of it.

Identical prices can hide different products, and different products can carry identical prices. Singtel publishes its 10Gbps and its 5Gbps plans at the same "From $39.90", with different reference prices of $89.90 and $70.90 and routers valued at $806 and $432. All three SIMBA plans cost $29.99 per 30 days whether the customer takes nothing at all, a single eero router, or a three-unit Huawei mesh. Within SIMBA, price carries no information; contract length and hardware carry all of it.

M1 makes the same point from the other direction: its 10Gbps plan is $26.90 a month and its 3Gbps plan is $29.90. The slower tier costs three dollars more, because it includes a router valued at $299 and the faster one includes none.

Twenty-seven plans, in provider order rather than price order. Read down the contract and billing columns before the price column — SIMBA bills per 30 days, not per month, and its two-year plans run 720 days across 24 billing cycles, which is roughly 23.7 calendar months rather than 24.

Two entries sit outside that table on purpose. M1 publishes a 10Gbps plan with a 10Gbps router at $30.90 a month, but it appeared only as a site-wide promotional link rather than on M1’s plan grid, and nothing else about it — contract, hardware detail, installation — is published alongside it. Singtel separately publishes three bundle variants at $59.88 for 10Gbps with a TV ethnic pack, from $79.90 for 10Gbps with mesh and a gadget, and $49.88 for 5Gbps with a TV ethnic pack. Those are prices without the rest of the matrix, so they are reported here rather than given a row.

Two providers publish plan families this round did not extract. ViewQwest publishes 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, No Contract and Power User families whose terms were not read, so nothing is asserted about them. MyRepublic’s contract lengths are published for only one of its seven plans.

This is the table that does not exist on any plan page. Three distinctions in it are worth keeping straight. "Applies" with an amount means the provider published a figure or a formula. "Applies, amount not established" means the provider stated the obligation and never stated the amount — it is not a zero, and it is not a promise of anything. "Not established" against MyRepublic means its terms document was not reached in this round, which is a limitation of the research rather than a silence on MyRepublic’s part.

A few clauses deserve reading twice. WhizComms treats transferring your fibre link to another provider as a termination by you on the date the link is released, so switching attracts the same early termination charge as cancelling. ViewQwest publishes the only cooling-off window found in the category: early termination charges do not apply if you cancel within 24 hours of signing up. SIMBA states that termination within the minimum contract period only takes effect on the date the ONT, patch cord and power adaptor come back in working order, and that the customer keeps paying until they do. Singtel qualifies its own formula as a general calculation and points the reader to the terms for their specific service.

StarHub advertises "no hidden fees" on its broadband page and publishes a thirteen-row rate table in its consumer terms, including $122.24 to move home, $32.70 to downgrade speed, $32.70 to disconnect, $16.35 a month to suspend voluntarily and $13.08 per delivery trip. The charges are published rather than hidden, so the claim is defensible on its own terms. A reader taking it at face value would still not expect thirteen of them.

Every provider in this set advertises 10Gbps, at prices from $27.99 to $49.99 a month. That is why this page carries no section for the highest advertised tier: the top tier is available from all eight providers, so it cannot narrow anyone’s shortlist. Advertised tiers are product specifications. LocalRank does not measure throughput and makes no performance claim about any provider here.

Two providers qualify the tier themselves, and they are worth quoting because no marketing page in the category does. GOMO publishes that wired speeds usually range from 7.6Gbps to 8.1Gbps for all internet service providers, with up to 2.4Gbps used for the network resources required. That is GOMO’s own disclosure about its own 10Gbps product, not a LocalRank measurement.

Taking a lower tier does not reliably save money either. StarHub prices 5Gbps at $29.55 against 10Gbps at $38.90, so there the slower tier is cheaper. M1 prices 3Gbps at $29.90 against 10Gbps at $26.90, so there it is dearer. Singtel prices both its 10Gbps and its 5Gbps plans from the same $39.90.

Three questions genuinely separate these plans on published evidence. Two more that a broadband comparison would normally ask do not, and it is more useful to say why than to pad the page with them.

Where a provider publishes both a price and a term, the subscription across that term can be worked out. These are LocalRank calculated figures: the subscription charges alone, multiplied out from the provider’s own published price and contract length. They are not what the contract will cost you in full, because installation varies by address and several early-termination amounts are unpublished.

Three of these sums do not divide evenly into a monthly figure, because the provider contracts part of the term lower than the rest. Those three show their working in full. The arithmetic has to be right, and a total you cannot check against its own stated basis is worse than no total — but the lower figure is a term of a calculation here and never the charge this page puts on a plan. What the table shows is what you should expect to keep paying.

GOMO and MyRepublic are absent from that list for the same reason: neither publishes a contract length against most of its plans, so there is no term to multiply by. SIMBA’s 365-day self-install plan is absent for a different one — a 365-day term does not divide evenly into 30-day billing cycles, so any figure would either omit part of the term or overstate it. Its published charge is $29.99 per 30 days.

Most of this market is a two-year commitment, and a shorter one is usually available at a price. WhizComms publishes 12-month contracts at $28.99 for 10Gbps and $26.00 for 2.5Gbps, and its 12-month 10Gbps plan costs a dollar a month more than the ongoing rate on its own 24-month plan — the direction a reader would expect and almost never sees. SIMBA publishes a 365-day self-install plan at $29.99 per 30 days. MyRepublic publishes a no-contract 10Gbps plan at $49.99 a month, which is $20 a month more than its own contracted plans at $29.99; its router is not published. ViewQwest publishes a No Contract Plan whose terms and price this round did not extract, so it is named as existing and nothing more is claimed for it.

The reason to care is on the terms table. A shorter contract shortens the window in which an early termination charge applies at all, and for three providers that charge is an amount nobody outside the company can calculate in advance.

This is where the real variation sits. SIMBA bundles the largest hardware package in the set on its mesh plan: a WiFi 7 ONR it values at $699 plus two Huawei OptiXstar routers at $598, though note the page describes three mesh units while the plan card itemises one ONR and two routers — the same three devices, counted differently. StarHub offers the only transparently priced mesh upgrade: the same tier and contract at $38.90 with one router and $46.26 with two, which prices the second unit at $7.36 a month. ViewQwest publishes two-node and three-node mesh bundles, and MyRepublic publishes mesh variants at $39.99 and $49.99. WhizComms sells a second router outright at $105, with a $30 installation fee per router from the third onwards.

Before valuing any of it, check whether the hardware is yours. SIMBA requires all service equipment back within seven days of termination or the customer pays its replacement cost. ViewQwest publishes waived modem rental worth $272.50, which states plainly that the modem is rented, and requires both modems returned. StarHub’s definition of equipment covers sale, lease, sub-lease and rental without saying which applies. GOMO does not say. Hardware you have to give back is not the same as hardware you were given.

Highest advertised speed tier. All eight providers advertise 10Gbps, so the tier does not narrow anything. Where a slower tier exists it is sometimes cheaper and sometimes dearer than the same provider’s 10Gbps. A section sorting providers by tier would produce a list of everyone.

Lowest published upfront cost. No provider publishes an upfront total. Installation, activation and the ONT are published as waived on almost every plan in the table, so the field is nearly flat, and the charges that would actually differentiate it are conditional on your address rather than on your provider: NetLink Trust charges $182.03 high-rise or $333.54 landed to install a fibre termination point, and $1.09 per additional five metres of internal cabling, where one is not already there. The only published day-one differences are small ones — GOMO charges $27.25 for doorstep delivery, StarHub $13.08 per trip, ViewQwest publishes kit delivery as waived, and SIMBA has the ONT collected in person. Ordering plans on that would be ordering them on noise.

Most of these questions have answers that are published somewhere. The point of asking is to get them in front of you before the contract starts rather than after.

On price durability specifically: the useful question is not when a reduction ends but what the charge is once it has. This page answers that by showing only charges a provider publishes as applying for the whole contracted term, which is why a salesperson may quote you less than the figure in the table. That is not a contradiction — it is the question you should put back to them. WhizComms publishes the ongoing charge beside anything it reduces, and ViewQwest publishes on each plan how long its charge lasts, which is how its 3-node mesh plan turns out to bill $46 for its final six months. Most of the rest publish a charge and say nothing about how long it holds, so ask for the duration and the charge that follows it in writing.

Every price, charge, term and hardware value on this page was read first-party on 21 September 2026 from the pages below. Marketing pages alone were not treated as sufficient for this category: the fields that most affect a household appear only in contractual documents, so each provider’s terms were read as well where they could be reached. Where a URL had moved, the working path was found through the provider’s own navigation or its own error page rather than guessed — M1, StarHub, Singtel and ViewQwest all needed that this round.

Known limits of this edition, stated rather than smoothed over. MyRepublic’s broadband terms were not reached, so its early termination, relocation and GST treatment are recorded as not established and are not inferred from what other providers publish. ViewQwest’s 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, No Contract and Power User families were not extracted. SIMBA publishes a typical local maximum download speed page whose figure was not extracted, so none is quoted on its behalf. M1 publishes a typical-speed question in its FAQ whose answer did not render, and no figure is asserted for it. No authoritative retail register exists to close the provider set against, so the eight providers here are a documented current consumer set rather than a guaranteed complete one.

Last verified 21 September 2026. Temporary campaign pricing changes more often than anything else in this category and holds the least for a reader, so it is recorded in our research and kept off this page rather than maintained on it. Contracted charges, speed tiers, contract terms and bundled hardware are rechecked every 30 days; the provider set and the mandatory-fee and termination schedules every 60 days. A first-party change to a contracted charge always overrides that cadence.
