Best fibre broadband internet provider in Singapore

If you’re in the market for home internet, there are seven main providers to choose from. StarHub, M1, Singtel, MyRepublic and SIMBA are popular fibre broadband providers that also sell SIM-only mobile plans. ViewQwest and WhizComms are the two other fibre broadband providers worth considering. All fibre broadband providers in Singapore offer home internet plans with unlimited data.

Best fibre broadband internet provider overall

---

The best fibre broadband internet provider in Singapore right now is SIMBA. A newcomer to the fibre internet space, SIMBA offers by far the best value for money with a simple one-plan offering: A whopping 10Gbps bandwidth for just $29.99 per month, with no additional upfront costs thanks to the waived NLT service activation fee and a free ONT device thrown in. There's also no contract locking you down, so you're free to leave at any time. As you can imagine at that price, SIMBA's plan is quite bare-bones, so you'll need to bring your own router. There's also no home phone line included, though that won't be a deal-breaker for most.

Although our top pick overall (see above) is the cheapest month-to-month plan, WhizComms offers some of the cheapest fibre broadband contract plans available in Singapore. The FibrePlus 2.5Gbps plan above, for instance, is the cheapest fibre broadband plan in our comparison engine at just $26 per month on a 12-month contract, with a $115.54 upfront fee (reduced to $54.50 if you sign up before March 2). You can even get it for as little as $24 if you opt for a 24-month contract, or slightly more at $29.90 per month if you want a mesh router included. All WhizComms internet plans also include 180 days of free Entertainment Plus.

MyRepublic has a great recent track record of offering some of the fastest fibre broadband speeds in Singapore. While the highly-regarded Ookla Speedtest doesn't currently track WhizComms and SIMBA, MyRepublic has a comfortable download and upload speed lead over ViewQwest, Singtel, StarHub and M1. It also regularly wins in four of five OpenSignal report categories: Download Speed, Peak Download Speed, Consistent Quality and Video Experience. Currently, the cheapest entry point into MyRepublic and its superior speeds is the 3Gbps Ultra No Frills plan, which costs $37.99 per month and $120.94 upfront.

Despite all seven internet providers now offering 10Gbps fibre broadband, MyRepublic wins bragging rights for its aforementioned winning scores with both Ookla and OpenSignal. Although not the cheapest, with BYO router plans from $47.99 (plus upfront cost), Wi-Fi 7 router-included plans from $49.99 (plus upfront costs) and gamer-centric plans from $59.99 (plus upfront costs), you really do get what you pay for.

Best fibre broadband internet provider for gaming

MyRepublic claims to be the best fibre broadband provider for gaming. Digging into the details, it’s clear that MyRepublic has a right to do this. MyRepublic gamer-branded fibre broadband plans have custom network routing for lower latencies to gaming servers in Singapore and in other countries. They also have live latency monitoring and are currently ranked by Ookla as the best provider for gaming experience.

The highlighted MyRepublic gamer plan above comes with unlimited data, up to 3Gbps symmetrical download and upload speeds, plus an Asus TUF Gaming WiFi 7 router for $53.99 per month and $50.31 upfront. Need more? You can upgrade to 10Gpbs for $59.99 per month plus $160.21 upfront.

Best no-frills (BYO router) fibre broadband internet provider

One of the common fibre broadband plan add-ons in Singapore is a compatible router. If you’re moving from one provider to another, you may already have a compatible router and can potentially save money on a plan by opting for a no-frills plan.

Our top plan overall from SIMBA is a great choice. Not only is it one of the cheapest plans in our database, it's also contract-free, has no upfront costs, and boasts a huge 10Gbps bandwidth.

Best fibre broadband internet provider for customer satisfaction

Because all internet providers use the same NetLink Trust fibre network to connect homes in Singapore, it’s important to look for other points of difference. For WhizComms, that point of difference is the provider enjoys high levels of reported customer satisfaction, with a 4.4-star score on Seedly, tying it with MyRepublic. In the end, we're giving the win to WhizComms for its slightly higher customer service score and cheaper prices.

This satisfaction applies to any WhizComms plan, but we’re highlighting its cheapest one above. It’s a 500Mbps fibre broadband plan that includes free installation and service activation.
