Best Broadband Plans in Singapore (2026): Prices and Speeds

Key Takeaways

• Match the plan to your home: a mesh WiFi plan suits larger flats and multi-storey homes. A 10Gbps plan with a strong router suits gaming, streaming, and remote work.
• Bandwidth and latency both matter: bandwidth decides how many people and devices can be online at once, while latency decides how responsive your connection feels.
• Time your switch: switch or recontract when your current contract ends to avoid early termination fees. Book the new installation before cancelling the old line.
• Router plans vs no-router plans: plans without a bundled router usually cost less, but they only make sense if your router supports WiFi 6 or WiFi 7.
• Faster isn’t always better: upgrade your plan only if your household regularly maxes out its current speed. A better router or mesh setup often helps more.

Singapore boasts not only the fastest fixed broadband speed in the world, but also some of the most affordable internet. According to Surfshark’s 2026 Digital Quality of Life Index, Singapore ranks 10th globally for internet affordability.

Indeed, internet service providers (ISPs) in Singapore such as Singtel, StarHub, M1, ViewQwest, and MyRepublic offer a range of high-speed broadband plans at competitive prices.

With the Singapore government committing S$100 million to upgrade internet infrastructure and over half a million households expected to be on 10Gbps by 2028, ISPs are increasingly promoting higher-speed plans, and 1Gbps plans have already been phased out.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by all the plans (especially since providers offer similar speeds at comparable prices), this guide compares the best broadband plans in Singapore so that you can choose the right one for your home.

Note: Prices are based on information available at the time of writing and include GST where applicable. Because providers may change rates, bundles, and sign-up offers, visit the provider’s official website to confirm the latest pricing, fees, and promotions before signing up.

Cheapest Broadband Plans in Singapore Without a Router

If you already own a WiFi router, Eight’s Flex 8 is the cheapest broadband option in Singapore at S$26.80/month for 10Gbps.

M1’s HomePac 10Gbps costs just S$0.10 more per month at S$26.90 monthly, but watch out for its usual rate of S$135 per month after the promotion ends. WhizComms No-Frills is another budget option, costing just S$7.99 for the first month and S$27.99 per month thereafter.

Plans without a bundled router tend to be cheaper, but make sure your existing router supports WiFi 6 or WiFi 7 to take full advantage of a high-speed connection.

The table below lists the lowest monthly prices we found, ranked from cheapest to most expensive.

Cheapest Broadband Plans in Singapore With a Router

The cheapest broadband in Singapore with a router is Eight Plus 8 at S$27.80 per month for 10Gbps.

ViewQwest’s 10Gbps VQ-X plan is good value too, at S$28 a month with a router for the full 24 months. However, while ViewQwest offers high speeds at a reasonable price, customer sentiment in ViewQwest’s Facebook customer forum group isn’t great.

StarHub’s UltraSpeed 5Gbps costs S$29.55 a month for new sign-ups and includes a TP-Link WiFi 7 router and free installation. Meanwhile, Singtel’s 5Gbps New Home plan costs S$29.90 a month and includes a similar WiFi 7 router.

Best for Families and Large Homes

Families in larger flats or landed properties may consider a broadband plan that includes a mesh system.

Unlike a single router, mesh WiFi uses multiple units to extend coverage throughout your home, helping eliminate dead zones and maintain a more reliable connection, especially in multi-storey homes.

Below is a list of broadband plans that include WiFi units to help you stay connected at home.

Best for Gaming, Streaming, and Remote Work

The best broadband plans for gaming, streaming, remote work and content creation are 10Gbps plans with a strong router.

These plans are ideal if:

• You need ultra-low latency for online gaming
• A stable connection to minimise lag if you’re working remotely
• You need to make large uploads and downloads or frequently live stream

MyRepublic’s GAMER plans include custom network routing and live latency monitoring. If you’re still under contract elsewhere, MyRepublic also covers up to S$240 of your current provider’s early termination fee.

Best Short Contract or No Contract Plans

Eight’s Flex 8 is the cheapest short-contract option at S$26.80 per month for 10Gbps on a 12-month contract, followed by WhizComms 12-month No-Frills plan at S$28.99 per month. If you’re a GOMO customer, the GOMO Core Saver Plan costs S$28.80 every 30 days (for a limited time).

These plans suit renters, students, and anyone who may move within the next two years. However, shorter commitments often come with trade-offs, such as paying more upfront for a router or paying a higher monthly fee.

How to Choose an Internet Provider in Singapore

Besides price, two key factors to consider when choosing an internet provider in Singapore are bandwidth and latency.

Since every ISP uses the same nationwide fibre network, understanding both can help you choose a plan that suits your needs and understand what affects your internet performance.

Bandwidth refers to how much data your internet connection can transfer at a time. Measured in Mbps or Gbps, bandwidth determines how much data your connection can handle simultaneously, affecting how smoothly you can stream videos, download large files and use multiple devices at once. Higher bandwidth is especially useful for households where several people stream, download, and make video calls at the same time.

While ISPs often use “speed” and “bandwidth” interchangeably, they aren’t exactly the same. Bandwidth refers to your connection’s capacity, while your actual download and upload speeds can also be affected by factors such as your router, WiFi signal and devices.

Latency measures the time it takes for data to travel between your device and a server, measured in milliseconds (ms). It affects how quickly your connection responds to requests, making it especially important for online gaming and video calls. Lower latency generally means a more responsive connection. Latency below 50ms is generally sufficient for most uses, while delays above 100ms may cause noticeable lag, depending on the activity.

Both bandwidth and latency contribute to your overall internet experience, but one cannot fully compensate for the other. A 10Gbps plan with high latency may still deliver a sluggish gaming experience, while a low-latency connection with insufficient bandwidth may struggle when multiple people are online at once. The best plan balances both factors based on how you use the internet.

How to Get More of Your Plan’s Speed

• Upgrade your router. A WiFi 6, 6E or 7 router gets more of your plan’s speed to your devices than an older one.
• Add mesh WiFi. Mesh units bring full speed to rooms far from the main router.
• Plug in heavy users. Connect consoles, PCs and TVs with an Ethernet cable where you can.
• Limit background downloads. Schedule large updates and cloud backups for off-peak hours.
• Upgrade your plan only if your home regularly maxes out its current speed.

How to Switch or Recontract Your Broadband Plan

The cheapest time to switch or recontract is when your current contract ends. Before then, you’ll usually pay an early termination fee. Every ISP uses the same fibre network, so switching usually needs only a new router and a short appointment, with no new cabling.

Also, don’t cancel your current plan until you’ve successfully switched to your new ISP to avoid internet disruption.

1. Check your contract end date in your ISP’s app or on your bill.
2. Compare your recontract offer with new-customer deals from other ISPs.
3. Sign up with the new ISP and book installation for a day or two before your old contract ends.
4. Ask your old ISP to end the service on your contract end date.

When to Cancel to Avoid Early Termination Fees

Cancel on or after your contract end date to avoid early termination fees completely. Find the date and any notice period in your contract, then work backwards.

Most ISPs charge a fee prorated to the months left on your contract. For example, GOMO charges your monthly fee multiplied by the number of full months remaining. If you cancel GOMO Core Saver (S$29.99) with 6 months left, you’d pay S$179.94.

What Happens After You Cancel Your Broadband

After you cancel, you’ll need to return any rented equipment, settle a final bill and make sure billing stops.

• Return rented equipment. This includes routers, mesh units and TV boxes. Some ISPs also want the modem or optical network terminal (ONT) back. Unreturned equipment can be charged to your final bill, so check the deadline with your ISP.
• Leave the fibre termination point. The wall point NetLink Trust installs is part of your home’s fibre connection and stays for your next ISP.
• Check the final bill. It covers usage up to your termination date, plus any early termination fee.
• Stop auto-debit. Confirm the account is closed and remove the GIRO or card arrangement once the final bill is paid.

Hidden Costs to Check

With so many broadband providers competing for customers, the advertised price doesn’t always reflect your total cost. Before committing to a plan, check these five details to avoid unexpected costs.

1. Promotional Prices vs Regular Rates

A promotional price may only be for a limited time. Before signing up, check how long the discount lasts and what the regular monthly fee will be once it expires.

For example, a plan advertised at a S$29.90 promotional price may cost more after the promotion ends, so it’s important to calculate the total contract cost.

To compare plans accurately, calculate the average monthly cost over the entire contract, including any additional fees.

For instance, a plan costing S$30 per month for the first 12 months and S$60 per month for the next 12 months averages S$45/month over two years.

2. Billing Cycles

Not every provider bills by calendar month. SIMBA and GOMO, for example, use 30-day billing cycles. This means you’ll be billed approximately 12.17 times a year instead of 12 times.

At S$29.99 per billing cycle, that works out to roughly S$365 a year, around S$5 more than paying the same amount across 12 monthly bills. You can check your billing frequency to understand the actual annual cost.

3. Installation and Activation Charges

Promotions may waive installation and activation fees, but don’t assume these charges are always included. NetLink Trust’s service activation fee is S$61.04, while WhizComms charges S$59.95 for installation outside promotional offers.

Cancelling after booking an installation can also be costly. For example, MyRepublic charges S$243.07 for high-rise homes or S$394.58 for landed homes once the NetLink Trust appointment is confirmed.

Check the applicable fees before signing up, especially if your moving plans aren’t finalised.

4. Router and Equipment Ownership

A router advertised as “free” isn’t always yours to keep.

For example, MyRepublic retains ownership of promotional routers for 24 months and may require you to return the equipment within 30 days of terminating your plan.

ViewQwest requires you to return the modem, while GOMO requires you to return its optical network terminal (ONT).

Before signing up, check which equipment belongs to you, which items must be returned and whether failing to return them will incur additional charges.

5. Eligibility Requirements

Some promotional prices are available only to customers who meet specific conditions. For example, Singtel’s S$29.90 5Gbps plan is for new home moves, while StarHub’s S$29.55 price is for new sign-ups.

Always read the eligibility terms to make sure you qualify for the advertised rate. If you’re an existing customer, compare the available recontracting offers with deals from other providers before making a decision.
