Best mobile network in Singapore for telco choices

We track 17 mobile providers in our comparison engine, which means plenty of options. There may be plenty to choose from, but there are only four mobile networks in Singapore: M1, SIMBA (formerly TPG Telecom), Singtel and StarHub. All of the mobile providers in Singapore own or operate on these four networks. We’ve used December 2025 data from independent testing site Opensignal and our own insights for the best telcos on these networks to determine the best mobile network for specific categories.

Singtel is the best mobile network in Singapore overall, according to Opensignal report data. Opensignal breaks down the overall experience in terms of games, video apps, download speeds and upload speeds. Popular plans from Singtel, as well as other mobile providers on the Singtel network, are listed above with at least 50GB. Here’s how each mobile network in Singapore scored for each metric.

Video experience

Opensignal calculates the video experience by streaming a mix of video resolutions up to 4K. Picture quality, video loading time and stall rate are used to determine the overall score out of 100. All of the scores are quite decent, but StarHub just comes out on top with SIMBA (TPG) a bit behind.

StarHub 74.1/100
Singtel 73.2/100
M1 72.3/100
SIMBA (TPG): 68.6/100

Games experience

Multiplayer games played over mobile networks are used to determine the scores in this Opensignal category. Games include Fortnite, Pro Evolution Soccer and Arena of Valor. Latency, packet loss and jitter are all factored in to determine a score out of 100. Singtel takes the top spot, followed by StarHub, M1, and SIMBA (TPG) in last place, albeit with a still respectable number.

Singtel 87.3/100
StarHub 85.7/100
M1 83.8/100
SIMBA (TPG): 81/100

Download speed experience

Megabits-per-second (Mbs) measurements are used by Opensignal to determine the download speeds on the different mobile networks in Singapore. Average download speeds are determined by a mix of 5G, 4G, and 3G networks. As you can see below, StarHub has a noticeable lead over Singtel and M1, with SIMBA (TPG) lagging quite far behind.

StarHub 155.9Mbps
Singtel 148.3Mbps
M1 123.7Mbps
SIMBA (TPG): 26.7Mbps

Upload speed experience

Upload speed isn’t as important as download speed for most online tasks. Opensignal uses a mix of 5G, 4G, and 3G networks to determine the overall averages for the four networks in Singapore. Singtel, StarHub and M1 are quite close together in first, second and third positions, while SIMBA is noticeably slower.

Singtel 22.1Mbps
StarHub 20.8Mbps
M1 19.8Mbps
SIMBA (TPG): 6.2Mbps

According to Opensignal, all telcos in Singapore score highly for coverage. This means whichever telco you’re with, you can expect to have access to mobile signal for data, calls and SMS almost all the time. That said, Singtel currently boasts the best 5G coverage in Singapore, so we've given it the top spot. Above, you can find the most popular plans on the Singtel network.

Here’s how the four mobile networks look in terms of coverage.

5G network availability

While there isn't much difference between networks in terms of 4G availability (meaning all can be relied on for 4G), it's a different story for 5G, with Singtel far ahead of the competition and SIMBA lagging behind.

Singtel: 82.7%
M1: 59.8%
StarHub: 58.3%
SIMBA (TPG): 30.9%

5G coverage experience

Opensignal rates this metric out of 10, factoring in 5G mobile coverage availability in the places people tend to live, work and travel to the most. Singtel is the winner, with a tie for second and SIMBA not far behind.

Singtel: 9.3/10
StarHub: 8.7/10
M1: 8.7/10
SIMBA (TPG): 8.5/10

Once again, Singtel takes out the top spot for network consistency in Singapore, according to Opensignal. This category covers "consistent quality" (ranging between 0% and 100%) and "reliability experience" (ranging from 100 to 1000). The plans above are some popular picks available on the StarHub and Singtel mobile networks.

Consistent quality

This Opensignal metric evaluates a mobile network in terms of common app requirements, including download and upload speed, latency, jitter and packet loss. While no mobile network is particularly close to perfect, Singtel is once again in front, with SIMBA bringing up the rear.

Singtel: 82.9%
StarHub: 80.3%
M1: 75.9%
SIMBA (TPG): 71.6%

Reliability experience

This Opensignal metric evaluates a mobile network in terms of its users' ability to connect to the network and complete basic tasks. All four network operators received high scores for these tests, with Singtel and SIMBA in front.

SIMBA (TPG): 903/1000
