Singapore Broadband & Mobile Plan Optimizer 2026 — Cheapest Fibre, SIM-Only Comparison & Household Telecom Savings Calculator

WhizComms offers the cheapest 24-month broadband at 26 dollars per month for 3 Gbps symmetrical speeds. SIMBA offers 10 Gbps for 29.99 dollars per 30 days on a 12-month contract. ViewQwest offers 3 Gbps from 26.98 dollars per month. These no-frills plans do not include a free router, so you need to supply your own or purchase one separately.

SIMBA (formerly TPG) offers the cheapest SIM-only plans starting from approximately 10 dollars per month for 100 GB of data on their own 5G network. VIVIFI offers 50 GB on the Singtel network for approximately 15 dollars. GOMO offers 50 GB on the Singtel network for approximately 20 dollars. These are all no-contract SIM-only plans.

SIMBA operates its own 5G network, which has good outdoor coverage but can be weaker in older HDB blocks, basement offices, and some industrial estates. For broadband, SIMBA uses the same national fibre network (NetLink Trust) as all other providers, so the fibre connection itself is identical. The price advantage is significant: SIMBA offers 10 Gbps broadband for 29.99 dollars versus 39 to 46 dollars from incumbents for 3 Gbps.

A typical Singapore household with fibre broadband and 2 to 4 mobile lines spends 100 to 200 dollars per month on telecommunications. This breaks down as approximately 30 to 50 dollars for broadband and 20 to 40 dollars per mobile line. Households using incumbent providers like Singtel and StarHub tend to be at the higher end, while those on MVNOs and budget providers are at the lower end.

Bundling with the same provider typically saves 10 to 20 percent on the combined bill. However, the cheapest bundle is not always the cheapest individual plans added together. For example, SIMBA broadband at 29.99 dollars plus SIMBA mobile at 10 dollars totals 39.99 dollars, which may be cheaper than a Singtel bundle at 60 to 70 dollars even without a formal bundle discount. Always compare the total cost of bundled versus unbundled.

The NetLink Trust Service Activation Fee is 61.04 dollars for every new fibre port activation. This applies to new customers or customers who have moved to a new address. Customers who re-contract at the same address do not pay this fee. Additionally, homes without a termination point pay 182.03 dollars for HDB and high-rise apartments or 333.54 dollars for landed properties.

For most households, a 1 to 3 Gbps plan is more than sufficient for streaming, gaming, video calls, and multiple devices. A 10 Gbps plan becomes relevant only if you regularly transfer very large files, run a home server, or have 10 or more devices actively streaming simultaneously. Since 10 Gbps plans from SIMBA (29.99 dollars) cost only 4 to 14 dollars more than 3 Gbps plans, the marginal cost is small enough that many households opt for the higher speed anyway.

SIM-only plans provide data, calls, and SMS without a bundled phone, typically costing 10 to 30 dollars per month with no or short contracts. Contract plans include a subsidised phone (usually the latest iPhone or Samsung flagship) with a 24-month commitment and cost 40 to 80 dollars per month. SIM-only is almost always cheaper if you already have a phone or buy one outright, as the total cost over 24 months is significantly lower.

GOMO (Singtel network), VIVIFI (Singtel network), and Zero1 (Singtel network) all use Singtel infrastructure, which has the strongest indoor and MRT tunnel coverage. Circles.Life uses M1 infrastructure, which is also excellent. SIMBA uses its own network, which is good outdoors but weaker indoors in some areas. For the best coverage at the lowest price, VIVIFI or GOMO on the Singtel network is the optimal choice.

Yes. Number portability is mandatory in Singapore. You can port your existing number to any new provider at no charge. The porting process typically takes 1 to 3 working days. You do not need to cancel your old plan first; the new provider handles the transfer. Make sure your old contract has expired or you have paid any early termination fees before porting.

All residential addresses in Singapore are connected to the national fibre network via NetLink Trust. You can check your address on any broadband provider website during the sign-up process. If your home does not have a termination point installed, the provider will arrange installation at a one-time fee. Virtually all HDB flats and condominiums have existing termination points from the nationwide rollout.

WiFi 7 is the latest wireless standard offering faster speeds and better performance for multiple simultaneous connections. Many new broadband plans include a free WiFi 7 router. However, you only benefit from WiFi 7 if your devices support it, which currently includes only the latest smartphones, laptops, and tablets from 2024 onwards. For most households, a WiFi 6 or WiFi 6E router is more than sufficient for the next 2 to 3 years.

Common additional fees include the NLT activation fee of 61.04 dollars for new installations, early termination fees of 150 to 300 dollars if you cancel before the contract ends, router rental or purchase fees of 50 to 199 dollars for plans that do not include a free router, and optional add-ons like security software or static IP addresses. Always check the total cost including all fees, not just the monthly price.

A family with Singtel broadband at 39.90 dollars and 4 Singtel mobile lines at 25 dollars each (total 139.90 dollars per month) could switch to WhizComms broadband at 26 dollars and 4 SIMBA mobile lines at 10 dollars each (total 66 dollars per month). That is a saving of 73.90 dollars per month or 886.80 dollars per year, with no reduction in broadband speed and actually more mobile data per line.

No-contract plans cost significantly more per month (49.99 dollars for MyRepublic 10 Gbps no-contract versus 26 to 30 dollars for 24-month plans). They are only worthwhile if you expect to move or leave Singapore within the next 12 months, as the early termination fee on a 24-month plan typically ranges from 150 to 300 dollars. If you plan to stay for 2 or more years, a 24-month plan is always more cost-effective.
