ViewQwest may not be as popular a fibre broadband provider in Singapore as its competitors. But the fibre broadband provider makes up for this in speed, consistently scoring higher for consistent quality and video experience (according to OpenSignal) than better-known competitors like Singtel, StarHub and M1. ViewQwest sells two main fibre broadband plans: 3Gbps and 10Gbps.
Users can choose from no-frills plans—where you bring your own router—or opt to add a router or mesh Wi-Fi system. Before you read our ViewQwest fibre broadband review, here’s a look at ViewQwest’s plans.
ViewQwest fibre broadband plans
ViewQwest fibre broadband plans come with 24-month contracts and, at the time of writing, waived activation fees worth $115.54. Additionally, ViewQwest plans come with three months of both SecureNet and Freedom DNS. SecureNet is cloud-based network security and Freedom DNS unblocks websites that are usually geo-restricted.
The cheapest ViewQwest plan is the 3Gbps No Frills. It costs just $18.98 a month for the first 12 months before reverting to the usual price of $40.98 month.
If you're after a plan with a router bundled in with your 3Gbps plan, you can opt for the eero Pro 6e for $23.90 per month for the first 12 months (then ongoing at $48.98) or a Wi-Fi 7 ASUS router for $24 month for the first 12 months, then $46 per month onwards.
For comparison, here’s a list of similar fibre broadband plans from other providers.
The other ViewQwest fibre broadband speed option is 10Gbps, and you can get it as a No Frills (BYO router) plan or paired with a Wi-Fi 6 or 7 router or mesh system. For the No Frills 10Gbps plan, you'll pay $30 per month for the first 10 months, then $45 per month ongoing. For those who need a router, you're looking at plans starting from $35 per month ($50 usual price) for the first 10 months up to $54 per month ($75 usual price) for the first 10 months.
