My current M1 500MBPS Fibre Broadband Plan is about to end in July 2022. I am looking for a new plan from other service providers so I can get a new router. Which is the best broadband plan promotion in Singapore for June 2022?
Let me compare the 1GB Plans with a 24-month contract…

How much is a Disney Plus subscription in Singapore?
In Singapore, Disney+ offers a monthly subscription fee of $11.98 per month or an annual subscription fee of $119.98 per year, which is about $10 each month.
Starhub Disney Plus’s free offer is only till 22 Feb 2023. That’s 8 months from now. Not worth it.
Do I need 1Gbps Internet?
Do I really need 1Gbps? I am doing fine with the current 500Mbps.
There is only one smart TV. I live upstream at most 8Mbps. No one is at home most of the day. If the whole family is at home, the most we do is surf social media. There is only occasional gaming and movie streaming.
500Mbps Broadband Plan
So, there is the Starhub 500Mbps plan…
24-MONTH CONTRACT
500Mbps Fibre Broadband @ $29.90/mth
$29.90 per month
What’s in the plan?
- Free installation worth $90
- Top up for Smart WiFi at $5/month or Smart WiFi Pro at $12/month with a 24-month installment plan.
- An activation fee of $56.71 is appliable.
- Modem? I guess it’s in the installation.
This is the likely candidate after all.
