There are a handful of things to think about when comparing fibre broadband plans, consider these four factors:
Thanks to the availability of fibre broadband in Singapore, just about everyone in the country has access to some of the fastest fixed internet speeds in the world. However, there is also the option of mobile internet for those out and about regularly.
Fibre broadband is the fastest, most reliable, and usually cheapest way for Singaporeans to connect to the internet, with over 99% connectivity.
Sometimes all you need is a SIM card with a load of data to act as your internet plan. A data-only SIM plan is perfect if you have a compatible iPad or laptop that you take with you to work or study and need an internet connection while you're on the road.
There are 7 fibre broadband plan providers both big and small in Singapore. Some are stronger or weaker in certain areas, whether that's speed, price or customer service. On WhistleOut we compare internet plans from them all:
Internet speed is probably the most confusing aspect of modern fibre broadband. We may talk about 'fast' and 'slow' plans, but what we're actually judging is the capacity of the connection.
The key difference between a 1Gbps plan and a 10Gbps plan is that the faster plan is better suited to having more people and devices connected at the same time.
Spotting a great value fibre broadband plan usually boils down to finding the fastest plan at the cheapest price. You can save yourself a few headaches and in some cases even money by choosing the speed that matches the size of your household and how you use the internet.
Each month, internet providers release
new deals, including things like sign-up discounts, free hardware and more.

The cheapest plan changes often. Fortunately, we track them all, so you can be sure you're finding the best deal. Below are the six cheapest fibre broadband plans in Singapore right now.
The best broadband plan for your house is dependent on a few considerations, but the most important of these is how many people live in your home and what type of online activities you're doing.
Internet speeds are a shared commodity within a household. Every person and every device connected to the network will take up some of the total available bandwidth. This means that the more people in the house, the faster your broadband plan should be in order to keep everyone happy. Browsing the internet, social media, streaming music, and sending emails won't take up too much capacity on your home network, but things like online gaming, video conferencing, and 4K movie streaming can eat into your bandwidth.
There is no one one-size-fits-all broadband provider who is best for everyone. It comes down to what part of your internet service is most important to you. For many Singaporeans, the most important factor in the decision is price, and there are plenty of cheap plans to choose from.
For others, considerations like customer service, the quality of the included modem, value for money, bonus features, and perks all play a significant role in choosing their favoured supplier. We've put together a guide to the best fibre broadband providers to help break down some of these factors and highlight providers who specialise in these areas.
Switching internet plans may seem like a daunting, time-consuming task, but it's easier than you think, and may end up saving you hundreds of dollars each year.
