WhizComms offers two main fibre broadband plans, with the option to add a TP-Link Archer BE450 router or a TP-Link Aginet HB810 mesh system to the 10Gbps plans. Depending on which plan you choose, there may be activation fees. Although most WhizComms plans are no frills (meaning you'll need to bring your own router), you can pay extra for a router either upfront or on an ongoing basis.
The starting WhizComms plan is the 3Gbps No Frills, which costs $26 per month on a 12-month contract. This WhizComms broadband plan has up to 3Gbps symmetrical download and upload speeds. Compared to other providers in our database, WhizComms has the cheapest broadband plans overall.
For those needing the fastest speeds, there are also 10Gbps WhizComms fibre broadband plans available. The cheapest (the 10Gbps No Frills) costs either $28.80 per month (with one month free) for a 24-month contract or $28.99 per month with a 12-month contract. Either price offers up to 10Gbps symmetrical download speeds, and plans with routers can be purchased through Whizcomms from $29.99 a month on a 24-month contract. Compared to other 10Gbps plans in our database, Whizcomms is the cheapest.

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.
