WhizComms fibre broadband plans

WhizComms offers three main fibre broadband plans. Two of the WhizComms broadband plans have a choice of either cheaper monthly prices for 24-month contracts or slightly pricier monthly fees with a 12-month contract. Whichever WhizComms plan you choose, there’s a $54.50 installation fee and a $61.04 NetLink Trust Activation fee. Unlike other fibre broadband providers, there’s no router included with the WhizComms plan price, but you do get an Optical Network Router on loan. Though there aren’t many features, WhizComms does offer a free on-site WiFi audit to install a router in the best location for your home.

ONT vs ONR

Some fibre broadband providers in Singapore offer an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) while others, like WhizComms, offer an Optical Network Router (ONR). An ONT acts as a modem, which connects to a router. An ONR operates as both a modem and a router, though the router portion only works for wired devices. Practically speaking, you’ll need to connect an ONT or an ONR to a router that offers WiFi to use the internet on any wireless devices in your home.

The cheapest WhizComms plan is the FibrePlus 2.5Gbps, which costs $26 per month for a 12-month contract or $24 per month for a 24-month contract. This WhizComms broadband plan has up to 2.5Gbps symmetrical download and upload speeds. Compared to similar plans in our database, WhizComms has the cheapest typical pricing.
