Singtel 1 Gbps Fibre

worthwhile to switch to m1? singtel pricing is on the high side

Singtel price is not really that much different if you negotiate with Singtel to get around S$40.4 per month as recent reports shows. In general if you do not have an issue with the existing ISP, it is better to stick to the same ISP.

But if you intend to switch to M1, that is okay as well.

Take note if you use Singtel ONR as a wired router in the DB Box (so that all rooms have LAN connection) and another Singtel wireless router in the living room for wireless, you may have to put a router in the DB box as well to achive the same network configuration.

Singtel ONR in the DB box -- LAN ports in the rooms
Living room LAN port --> Singtel wireless router to provide wireless access (automatically run in AP mode) or other wireless router in AP mode

-->

M1 ONT in the DB box -- router 1 as main router in the DB box -- LAN ports in the rooms
Living room LAN port --> wireless router 2 in AP mode to provide wireless function

Anyone having problem with streaming netflix on singtel network? Fibre and mobile are both having same problem. I can login and see what movies / dramas are available on netflix page. It is loading when attempting to stream/download any video on netflix. If I use M1 fibre, no such problem. Singtel claim there are no known problem with netflix.

hi, currently on Singtel 500MB at $30.18 monthly, no contract since 2018.

Yesterday received this mailer from Singtel offering 1GB at $30.37 for 24months contract, thereafter $50.37.
It comes with free WIFI 5 device.

Is it worth to accept this offer?
I am on ONT+AC1900 router currently. Past few months, the WIFI is sometime not stable, keep disconnecting. I am not sure whether it is due to 500MB speed or the AC1900 router.

The offer is very good so you can get it if you like it.

But if I were you I will keep the no-contract 500Mbps plan at S$30.18 and buy a better router like Asus RT-AX82U or RT-AX86U.

the offer is a loss leader. after that, price is "upgraded", then it will be usual question of how to get the best "re-contract" offer

I rather you wait till they force you to upgrade to 1GB and router included (if any).
Previous comments mentioned that they do offer such upgrades.

thanks everyone for your kind replies.
After reading your replies and some checking on this forum, I think I will keep my 500MB@$30.
Did check that many Singtel Mesh Router listings on Carousell.
So free WIFI5 device bundled with this recontract is not attractive.

This is the same as the website offer for Singtel 1Gbps Plus plan. Compare to the free router from the lower tier 1Gbps Enhanced Plan, Linksys E9450 is of course better even though it is not that good either. So you can go ahead if you like Linksys.

• 6 FREE months
• U.P. of $63.48/mth will apply thereafter

Finally singtel got back to me with a resonable offer and i recontract another 24mth, been paying $50.xx for 2mth after contract expire


My average bill now from apr onward will be $33.xx/mth for 24mth but given in another way...

Offer was free 8mth, followed by $50.37 gst included from 9-24mth...
if dun count the 8mth as free, it avg to $33.xx for 24mth...

But no free router coz i told them i dun need and i asked for better bills rates instead

Never ever tak up the offer they send u thru mail...those deal sux

If u dun need to change router just tell them to exchange for better bills rate

Those router are technically not free if u paying higher bill/mth

U just paying for hidden installatment mthly for the router jus tat it not stated in contract

hi, i decided not to recontract as now paying $30 only without any contract.
Bought a Singtel Mesh Router from Carousell at $10 to replace my AC Elite. Search this forum and saw your post about using AC Elite as AP by connecting LAN Cable to WAN Port of AC Elite.
Previously using a simple Mi Router in MBR as AP, now with AC Elite as AP in MBR, the performance seems better than Mi Router.
Thank you very much.

[Scp173]

It mean i can go show them this and collect izzit?

I think they wanna clear stock lol
See this mesh router at carousell damn cheap, should be gonna phase out soon

Yes you will still get the free router. Haha.

It is only worth S$10 to S$20 in Carousell. I will just keep it as spare.

But in reality it is not too bad as an AP.

And indeed SingTel is pushing for WiFi 6 plans so SingTel may just clear the stock of SingTel Mesh Router.

BTW, you have a very good deal!

Yours is an ONT and Airties 4960R is the right one for ONT. Actually 4960R is compatible with both SingTel ONT (as the main router) and ONR (as an AP).

The other one, Singtel Wifi 6 Mesh Extender (Askey) is just a mesh node (AP) and cannot be directly connected to the ONT. It is usually issued to Singtel ONR users.
