WhizComms offers three main fibre broadband plans, all of which come with an ONR on loan. 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 cheapest WhizComms plan is the FibrePlus 2.5Gbps No Frills, which costs $24 per month (plus $115.54 upfront) on a 24-month contract. This WhizComms broadband plan has up to 2.5Gbps symmetrical download and upload speeds, however this is limited to 1Gbps per individual connection. Compared to other providers in our database, WhizComms has the cheapest broadband plans overall.

For slightly faster speeds with no upfront fee, the WhizComms FibrePlus 3Gbps No Frills plan actually comes out cheaper over 24 months and costs $28 per month for up to 3Gbps symmetrical download and upload speeds. This plan also has an optional router add-on from $120.

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 no upfront fees for a 24-month contract or $28.99 per month (plus upfront fees) with a 12-month contract. Either price offers up to 10Gbps symmetrical download speeds, and routers can be purchased through Whizcomms from $120. Compared to other 10Gbps plans in our database, Whizcomms is the cheapest.

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.
