StarHub fibre broadband plans
StarHub has three main fibre broadband plans it offers to customers, either at 3Gbps, 5Gbps or 10Gbps symmetrical download and upload speeds. Every StarHub broadband plan comes with three months of Amazon Prime and a TP-Link WiFi 7 router. There’s a $61.04 service activation fee for new StarHub customers but there are no optical network terminal (ONT) fees. Whichever StarHub plan you choose, expect a 24-month contract.
The cheapest StarHub broadband plan offers up to 3Gbps symmetrical speeds for $39.91 per month. This StarHub plan comes with a TP-Link HB410 dual-band WiFi 7 router, which has two 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports and two 1Gbps LAN (local network) ports. Wireless speeds reach a combined 6.5Gbps, but you shouldn’t expect speeds beyond 2.5Gbps because of the Ethernet internet port limitation.

The other StarHub broadband plan has up to 10Gbps symmetrical speeds for $59.34 per month. This StarHub plan comes bundled with the TP-Link EB810v tri-band WiFi 7 router, which has up to 22Gbps combined wireless speeds.

You’ll want to use both WAN ports for the best shot at max symmetrical speeds, and stick to the shorter-range 6Ghz and 5GHz WiFi bands for the fastest wireless speeds.
