Singtel is the biggest telecommunications operator in Singapore, and it’s been offering telco services since the 1800s. Nowadays, Singtel offers a range of mobile and fibre broadband plans to customers. While there are lots of bundle plans, Singtel offers four main speed tiers. Scroll on for our Singtel broadband plans review.
And here’s a list of the Singtel fibre broadband plans we track in our database.
Singtel fibre broadband plans
If you visit the Singtel broadband page, you’ll find around 10 plans but they’re all based on four speeds: 2Gbps, 3Gbps, 5Gbps and 10Gbps. Every Singtel broadband plan has a 24-month contract. Note that all Singtel plans have a $61.04 NetLink Trust (NLT) upfront fee for new customers. Unlike no-frills competitors like WhizComms and SIMBA, Singtel fibre broadband plans typically offer a good range of features, including a router or mesh system.
There are plenty of other features, too, like a home line, 500MB of mobile broadband data, and 12 months of Broadband Protect. Most Singtel plans have 12 months of Disney+ Premium and Amazon Prime, and all plans have three months of Max Standard plus three months of Microsoft 365 Personal. There are also one-month inclusions for Singtel Home Protect Flexi, Parental Control Pass and Spotify Premium. Most Singtel plans also include Security Suite Triple Protect. Every Singtel broadband plan also includes 10,000 yuu Points (valued at $50).
The Singtel 2Gbps Mesh plan currently costs $89.64 per month for 2Gbps symmetrical download and upload speeds. This fibre broadband plan comes with two Singtel AX5400 WiFi 6 mesh routers. You’ll get six months of Disney+ Premium and Amazon Prime, instead of the 12 months from other Singtel plans.
In terms of the broadband plans we track in our database, 2Gbps plans are rare these days. That said, there are much cheaper, faster options from ViewQwest, WhizComms, SIMBA, M1, MyRepublic and StarHub. For comparison, here’s a look at cheap plans from our database with at least 2Gbps speeds.
While you miss out on a bundled mesh WiFi system, the Singtel 3Gbps Enhanced is better value for a cheaper plan, starting at $42.90 per month. It has all of the main plan perks outlined above, alongside 3Gbps symmetrical speeds and a Singtel WiFi 7 BE11000 tri-band router. Router installation is also waived for online orders.
Compared to other plans in our database with at least 3Gbps speeds, this Singtel plan is one of the pricier picks, beaten by cheaper options from the same providers listed above for the Singtel 2Gbps plan. Check out fibre broadband plans from our database with at least 3Gbps speeds.
Singtel has three plans built on 5Gbps symmetrical speeds. The cheapest is the 5Gbps Enhanced Plan for $49.90 per month, which comes with all of the features above, plus a Singtel AX5400 WiFi 6 router. Next is the 5Gbps Enhanced Mesh plan for $55.70 per month, which has the same features but it swaps out the router for a two-unit Singtel BE11000 WiFi 7 mesh WiFi system. Then there’s the 5Gbps (WiFi 7) + Entertainment Bundle for $64.79. It has a Singtel BE1000 WiFi 7 router, all of the features above, plus an Android set-top box, one Singtel TV Local Language TV Pack, and five Singtel TV English Packs.
It’s a similar story as Singtel’s slower plans when compared to other competitors from our database. You’ll find cheaper, faster options from SIMBA, WhizComms, ViewQwest, StarHub, M1 and MyRepublic, though without as many features. Here’s a list of fibre broadband plans from our database with at least 5Gbps speeds.
Singtel also offers a few broadband plans built on 10Gbps symmetrical speeds with the same features listed at the top of this section. The cheapest is the 10Gbps Enhanced Plan for $65 per month, which includes a TP-Link HB810 BE22000 WiFi 7 Router. Alternatively, consider the 10Gbps Mesh (WiFi 7) + Entertainment Value Bundle for $69.78 per month. It comes with two Singtel BE11000 WiFi 7 routers, an Android set-top box, one Singtel TV Local Language Pack, and five Singtel TV English Packs.
The next priciest plan is the 10Gbps Mesh (WiFi 7) with Lifestyle Gadget bundle, which ships with two Singtel BE11000 WiFi 7 routers for $74 per month. Finally, there’s the 10Gbps Mesh + Entertainment Bundle (HBO Pak) for $82.08 per month. This Singtel plan comes with two Singtel BE11000 WiFi 7 routers, one Singtel TV Local Language Pack, one Singtel TV HBO Pak, and five Singtel TV English Packs, plus an Android set-top box. All of those features add to the overall cost, so it’s unsurprising to see Singtel beaten by other 10Gbps plans from our database, including SIMBA, WhizComms, ViewQwest, MyRepublic, StarHub and M1. For comparison, here’s a list of 10Gbps broadband plans from our database.

At the time of writing, Singtel fibre broadband plans included device installation, on your choice of weekday or weekend. You’ll need to wait for your NetLink Trust fibre termination point to be activated, which happens outside the home, so you don’t need to be present. Choose a day for the Singtel WiFi installation appointment, keeping two power points free: one for the Optical Network Router (ONR) and the other for your router. If you have ordered a mesh WiFi system, you’ll also need a power point per mesh unit.
