Fibre Broadband Plans in Singapore

Is fibre broadband internet better than Wi-Fi?

Whether you call it home Wi-Fi, broadband or fibre internet, you're talking about the same thing. Singapore has a nationwide fibre network, so all home internet is delivered to homes via fibre.

Fibre broadband allows for multi-gigabit download and upload speeds. This means users can sign up for plans ranging from 1Gbps to 10Gbps.

How do I compare fibre broadband internet plans?

All fibre broadband internet plans in Singapore come with unlimited data. Outside of this, consider the following factors:

• Speed: Broadband plans range from 1Gbps to 10Gbps.
• Price: Broadband prices start at around $30 per month and go up to more than $100 per month. It's typical for plans to have an upfront fee.
• Contract: Most broadband plans have 24-month contracts. There are some that have 12-month contracts, but very few no-contract broadband plans.
• Router: No-frills broadband plans that let you bring your own (BYO) router are cheaper, but some broadband plans let you bundle a compatible router.
• Broadband providers: All broadband providers work on the same fibre network, so speed, price, contract and inclusions help separate them.

How much is internet in Singapore?

What router do I need for fibre broadband internet in Singapore?

Fibre broadband internet plans in Singapore are sold as no-frills BYO router plans or ones that include a router. Sometimes routers are included as a plan feature, or they may cost extra as a monthly plan add-on. Routers connect to a modem installed by your provider and then share the internet around the home via Ethernet cable and Wi-Fi signal.

All modern routers should be compatible with fibre broadband internet. You may be able to save money when switching providers and using your current router. That said, it's worth checking with your new provider about router compatibility and configuration settings. It's also worth doing your research, as not every router is capable of achieving speeds as high as 10Gbps.
