We all know how important hardware is for our gaming setups. An RTX 5080 is going to blow an old 3070 out of the water performance-wise, while a high refresh-rate monitor will make every battle, race, and cutscene look a million bucks. But a professional-quality rig can easily be let down by one even more important component: your internet.
Singaporeans are lucky enough to have access to some of the fastest internet speeds in the world, but not all plans are built equal, and, again, hardware plays a key factor in determining what speeds you're actually capable of.
We've scoured our database of 9 ISPs to round up the best gaming broadband plan to suit your needs.
Best broadband plan for gaming in Singapore overall

MyRepublic
ASUS Gaming Wi-Fi 7 Router + GAMER 10Gbps
$69.99/mth
+ $211.04 Upfront
Min. cost $1,830.80

If you're serious about gaming, MyRepublic should be your first port of call. Consistently winning Ookla's Best Gaming Experience award and multiple OpenSignal broadband awards, MyRepublic has asserted itself as the go-to ISP for Singapore gamers thanks to custom network routing and ultra-low latency with live latency monitoring.
For those who want the best of the best, we recommend the ASUS Gaming 10Gbps Router + GAMER 10Gbps plan. At $69.99 per month (discounted to $59.99 per month for the first six months) on a 24-month contract plus $211.04 upfront, it's far from the cheapest broadband plan available, but it's the best of the best and comes with ASUS's flagship ROG GT-BE25000/GT-BE98 quad-band 10Gbps gaming router worth $1,099.
If you're keen on a MyRepublic GAMER plan but want a smaller monthly bill, consider the TP-Link 10Gbps Router + GAMER 10Gbps plan, which is $10 per month cheaper.
Also consider:
All providers in Singapore offer 10Gbps plans, but not all routers support those speeds, so be sure to choose the correct one at checkout.

In this guide, with the exception of our BYO router pick, only plans that come with routers that are capable of achieving speeds up to 10Gbps and include gamer-specific features were chosen as our top picks.
This is because no matter what speed your chosen broadband plan is capable of, you're limited by what speed your router is capable of. So, unless you're planning on using a wired Ethernet connection, a 10Gbps plan that comes with a router that can only reach 2.5Gbps speeds isn't going to get you very far.

Eight
Elite 8 10Gbps 24-Month
$31.80/mth
Min. cost $700.16
|
Although eight is relatively new to the broadband space and doesn't have any gamer-specific features, the Elite 8 plan is the cheapest 10Gbps broadband plan that comes with a 10Gbps router, making it the most accessible way to achieve those high speeds.
This plan costs just $31.80 per month over 24 months and comes with a tri-band eero Max 7 router worth $799. You'll also get a twice-yearly internet check to make sure things are going smoothly, and eight also offers a 28-day service guarantee.
Also consider:
Although there are other providers with 10Gbps plans around the same price, they come with lower-max-speed routers.

Already got a router you love? Fortunately for you, that opens the door to many more low-cost options. However, once again, if you're after the very best gaming experience, start your comparisons with MyRepublic.
At $45.99 per month for 24-months plus $61.04 upfront, the GAMER 10Gbps No Router plan is not the cheapest BYO modem plan around, but it is the smartest choice for gamers. As mentioned previously, MyRepublic GAMER plans all come with custom network routing for optimised traffic and low latency with live monitoring.
Also consider:
If you're happy to consider an alternative provider, there are deals to be had for less than $30 per month.

Gaming broadband plans FAQ
Does 10Gbps improve my gaming experience more than 3Gbps or 5Gbps?
It depends. If you're the only one using your internet connection, a lower speed is likely more than enough. However, the more people you share your broadband with, the more bandwidth you have to fight for. If multiple other household members are doing data-intensive tasks simultaneously, your performance may take a hit. Plus, 10Gbps speeds make game downloads a breeze.
Is a wired Ethernet connection necessary for gaming, or is Wi-Fi 7 good enough?
Although a wired Ethernet connection is considered the best for minimising latency and eliminating interferences, a Wi-Fi 7 router (or better yet, a gaming-specific Wi-Fi 7 router) is perfectly fine for most gamers.
Should I get a static IP or a dynamic IP for host-gaming or setting up private servers?
If your internet provider offers static IP as an add-on and you like to host private game services, it's worth getting so that your IP isn't constantly changing.
What is the difference between a standard broadband plan and a dedicated "gaming" broadband plan?
Broadband providers that offer gaming-specific plans offer extras like traffic prioritisation, connection stability, and lower latency.
How we choose the best fibre broadband plans in Singapore
At WhistleOut, we take the job of recommending broadband plans very seriously. That’s why we have a dedicated team that reads dozens of plan documents each week to spot hundreds of plan changes in our database.
Here's some of the factors we take into account when choosing the best broadband plans in Singapore:
Price
We consider overall price not just promotional pricing.
We evaluate price in terms of value over the contract length (including any upfront fees) which helps separate great pricing from a limited-time promotion that may not offer better value in the long run.
Speed
Broadband plans in Singapore are some of the fastest in the world, but there's still a few speeds to choose from.
We take into account common usage patterns to recommend the right speed for your household.
Inclusions
Not all broadband plans are built equal, so inclusions are very important to consider.
These inclusions range from routers and hardware to streaming subscriptions and home phone lines.
