Before it became SIMBA in 2022, this telco offered fibre broadband and mobile plans under the ‘TPG Singapore’ name from 2016. If you’re looking for a fibre broadband plan from SIMBA, it means you know what you want. Why? Because SIMBA only has a single fibre broadband plan available for its customers. Well, two, technically, but only separated by contract length and router incluusions. Scroll on for our SIMBA broadband plans review.

SIMBA keeps things simple by offering one fibre broadband plan with two different contract lengths. The SIMBA 10Gbps Fibre plan typically costs $29.99 per month for symmetrical 10Gbps download and upload speeds with unlimited data. You also get a free home phone line, free ONU, and free NLT service activation.
While both cost the same per month, what separates SIMBA's two plans is contract length and router inclusions. The two-year plan includes a D-Link Wi-Fi 7 router for free, plus free device installation, while the one-year plan requires customers to bring their own router. Depending on what promotions SIMBA is currently running, there may be an upfront fee for the one-year contract, but likely not for the two-year contract.
Compared to other 10Gbps fibre broadband plans in our database, this SIMBA plan is second-cheapest after WhizComms. ViewQwest also offers a similarly priced unlimited-data plan, albeit with a price increase after 12 months.

Broadband activation should happen within a week. The SIMBA website says that customers can opt in for installation during sign-up, otherwise, you’ll have to configure your home network yourself. Self-installers will receive an ONU, which connects to the NetLink Trust termination point via a fibre patch cord. The ONU can technically connect to one wired device for internet, but you’ll want to connect it to a router to share the internet with more devices around the home (including WiFi devices).
Gently remove the protective caps from the fibre patch cord included in your ONU kit and the optical port on the SIMBA ONU. Connect one end of the fibre patch cord to the green port on the ONU, then the other end to the optical port on the termination point. Both ends should click into place. Connect the ONU to power, then press the power button on the back. Connect the included Ethernet cable between the yellow Network port on the ONU and (ideally) a high-speed router to share internet around your home.
SIMBA fibre broadband plan add-ons
The only add-ons for SIMBA’s fibre broadband plan are the optional Wi-Fi 7 routers.
For a cheaper option, consider the D-Link DPN-BE7212GR for $179 ($399 RRP), which has 7Gbps shared dual-band WiFi speeds, with one 10Gbps WAN (internet) port, one 10Gbps LAN (local) port and four 1Gbps LAN ports.
Alternatively, consider the Amazon Eero Max 7 for $399 (usually $799 RRP). This WiFi 7 mesh WiFi router has 13.7Gbps shared tri-band WiFi speeds, with two auto-sensing 10Gbps Ethernet ports and two auto-sensing 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports.
Both routers support mesh expansion for larger homes or places prone to WiFi interference.
