However, technological advances and fierce competition have made these ultra-high speeds increasingly accessible to everyone. As early as 2015, the cheapest 1Gbps plan was available for just $34.90 per month – a far cry from the exorbitant $400 in the past. As Singapore gears up for an islandwide upgrade to 10 Gbps broadband by 2025 and the government invests up to $100 million to further improve affordability and availability, consumers can expect a slew of promotions and bundled offers from service providers.    Consumers can look forward to an array of attractive promotions and freebies.

This charge is separate from ONT/Router activation.If your home does not have access to fibre broadband yet, you will have to pay for Fibre Termination Point (FTP) installation. You can do a quick search to check if your house is covered at netlinktrust.com. Installing an FTP costs $182.03 for HDB and condominiums, or $333.54 for landed houses. This is imposed by the NetLink Trust (NLT), an initiative led by the Singapore government that manages the infrastructure of Singapore’s Nationwide Broadband Network (NBN). A few telcos waive the FTP installation fee, such as MyRepublic.ADVERTISEMENTAdvertisementPrice is not the only concern when choosing a high-speed internet plan. Honestly, most plans offer similar fundamental features. What makes it interesting is the bundles and packages that cater to different preferences. Let’s do a deep dive below.Router2. WhizComms 1 Gbps fibre broadband planCheap has always been WhizComms’ selling point. Whatever the competition charges, they will come up with a plan that is just slightly cheaper.They offer a 12-month plan that costs $21.80 per month—the cheapest in the market. It’s basically marketed as a no-frills plan, so there’s nothing much to shout about unless you just want your fibre broadband dirt cheap.ADVERTISEMENTAdvertisementIf you need a broadband plan with a wireless router, WhizComms offers a 12-month plan with a TP-Link Archer AX55 AX3000 for $27.25/month.

Home fibre broadband set-up and hidden costsAs we gear up for the nationwide rollout of blazing 10Gbps broadband speeds, ensuring your home is equipped to handle this cutting-edge technology is essential. Here’s a look at the key steps and potential costs involved:Set up Fibre Terminal Point (FTP)The majority of homes in Singapore would have fibre broadband capabilities by now, following aggressive efforts by NetLink Trust to install the Fibre Terminal Point (FTP) for free. If you missed the boat, you would have to pay for them now.After securing an appointment with NLT, usually through your internet service provider (ISP), NLT contractors will place FTP at a place of your choosing. The cost is $182.03 for HDB and condominiums or $333.54 for landed property.NetLink Trust also charges an NLT service activation fee of $61.04, regardless of ISP.Hidden costs: $162 or $291.60 for FTP installation (depending on the property) and $57.24 for NLT service activation fee.Set up modem and router with ISPThis process is also known as ONT activation, which most providers simply call service activation. Your ISP will connect the modem to the termination point, and your router shares this connection to the entire house, so multiple devices can be connected to the fibre broadband network.Before deciding on your ISP, look out for hidden fees such as registration and service activation fees. If you want the flexibility to change plans, check that your ISP doesn’t impose high termination fees in a bid to lock you down beyond the contract.Hidden costs: Registration fee, service activation fee (or ONT activation fee), termination fees.Embracing the Future of Ultrafast ConnectivityWith a multitude of ultra-fast broadband plans soon to hit the market, you will be spoiled for choice. From budget-friendly offerings to feature-packed bundles, finding the perfect plan will be key to maximising this game-changing internet speed. Stay informed, compare options wisely, and prepare to embark on an ultra-connected journey.Found this article useful?
