I currently have the Singtel Enhanced Fibre Home Bundle (1Gbps/Home Digital Line) plan for $36++/month, which is valid until 17 February 2026. This basic plan was subscribed to while I was still working at Singtel. Is this an ONR or ONT setup? I have my own router that I’d like to use, but I’m unsure if switching plans is a good idea, especially since Xiaofan mentioned that legacy plans offer great value. Based on the benchmarks shared by others, it seems that MR Gamer is overall the fastest option, even though its subscription cost is significantly higher.

Can Singtel phase out the ONT without touching my setup? I'm currently using my own router along with Singtel's modem. Since my router isn't directly connected to the fiber outlet, doesn't that indicate I'm using an ONT setup?

Edit:
https://www.singtel.com/content/dam/singtel/personal/support/broadband/broadband-troubleshooting/ONT vs ONR Guide.pdf
I looked at Singtel's guide and I'm still using ZTE ONT V6 device as well

I think you can go with this legacy Singtel plan.

If you go with other Singtel plans --> then you will get ONR.

MR gamer plan is a good one to go if you are into gaming or care about latency to China, if you are willing to pay for higher monthly charges.

My contract for Singtel's 1gbps plan has expired and I haven't recontracted, so I'm still paying $50 / month and was hoping to find a more cost effective plan. I currently have the HG8244H ONR and managed to work around the double NAT issues, but would rather switch to an ONT if possible.

If I want proper IPV6 (i.e, a /56 PD and not the embarrassing excuse that most ISPs have) as well as a public IPV4 address and an ONT, what would be the best choice?

does ViewQuest have working IPV6? I thought it could be a good option if I got the static IP add-on. On the second post of the IPV6 discussions thread, it mentions Viewquest having Static IPv6 available on request. However, [the first post of this thread mentions that Viewquest has no working IPV6. So I'm not sure which post is accurate.

I had to write in and request for a static IPv6 allocation with a /56 prefix. It's not given to you by default.

Seem to be free, will update again once I receive my next invoice.

There also seem to be some routing issue with the /56 prefix. The WAN /64 have connectivity, but the routed /56 prefix doesn't.

Yikes, hope you manage to get it resolved. How long did it take them to enable the IPV6 connectivity for you?

If not Viewquest, the only other option seems to be Singtel if you manage to be part of their native IPV6 rollout. But the ONR sucks though.

No ISPs will meet your requirement if you need /56 PD and ONT combination.

M1 may be the best bet if you want good working IPv6 (albeit only /64) and ONT.

M1 --> proper IPv6 but only /64, using ONT

Starhub --> proper IPv6 but only /64, using ONT or ONR. You can choose to go with ONT based plans.There are also users who are still having IPv6 related problems.

Singtel --> /56 IPv6 PD for some users, no native IPv6 for others (6rd IPv6). ONR users need to request ISP to enable IPv6. I am using ONR and I can get /56 IPv6 but I cannot get prefix delegation to work so it is kind of /64 effectively as well. Previously I had no such problem when using ONT.

VQ --> no confirmmation of working IPv6 as of now. You may want to check with the VQ thread again. Or you can confirm with VQ to see if they really have static IPv6 upon request.

MR/WC --> no IPv6

SIMBA --> working IPv6, using ONT, but with CGNAT and no static IPv4 add-on.

If not Viewquest, the only other option seems to be Singtel if you manage to be part of their native IPV6 rollout. But the ONR sucks though.

I am using Singtel ZTE F8648P ONR (Singtel 5Gbps plan) and I can get /56 IPv6 after requesting through Singtel. But I can not get prefix delegation to work on the second LAN interface (or sub-routers) so it is kind of /64 effectively as well. Tested with OpenWRT only.

BTW, I have got the ONR bridged as well and IPv6 still works on the bridged 10G LAN port.

Previously I had no such problem when using Singtel ONT for my Singtel 1Gbps plan. Prefix delegation to the second LAN interface and sub-routers were working fine (tested with OpenWRT and pfSense).

What do you mean when you mention the the second LAN interface? You have the ONR connected to multiple LAN networks? My ONR is currently just connected to my router I believe on its LAN interface.

How long did it take for them to enable IPV6 for you when you asked? I guess you tried getting help from Singtel to get prefix delegation to work?

I wonder if its possible to replace the Singtel ONR with an ONT. I remember coming across a Singapore Reddit post where someone really dug into ONR / ONT configuration, but I can't find it now.

Thanks for helping to compile this information, I wish ISPs would be more transparent about what capabilities they offer. Download and upload speeds are similar now and they're only competing in price which is pretty sad.

1) It takes me about 3 weeks to get Singtel native IPv6 to work. I am the lucky ones in this case. Others may take much longer. YMMV. And the deployment is not yet done so there are areas with no native IPv6 deployment yet.

More info about my experiences here:
https://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/threads/singtel-5gbps-ipv6.7053976/page-2

2) Singtel ONR 10G LAN port bridged --> OpenWRT router using Intel N100 mini PC with dual SFP+ ports and dual 2.5G interfaces.

The OpenWRT virtual router has one 10G WAN port, one 10G LAN port and one 2.5G LAN port. The other 2.5G LAN port is used as Proxmox PVE8.2 management port.

10G WAN port --> /56 IPv6
10G LAN port --> IPv6 is working, /64
2.5G LAN port --> IPv6 is not working, /64.

More info about the issues discussed here: I am not able to resolve the issue in the end. The issue is still there now.

3) Singtel only issues ONR for new plans. If you go with 2Gbps plan, then it is actually possible to replace the ONR with a GPON ONU.
https://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/threads/fully-utilize-singtel-2gbps-network.7041131/

If you go with Singtel 3Gbps/5Gbps/10Gbps plan, no successful story to replace the XGS-PON ONR yet. But you can try to bridge the ONR (ZTE F8648P or Nokia XS-240X-A).

About 1-2 days.

No ISPs will meet your requirement if you need /56 PD and ONT combination.

Sadly true for all the home plans. A pricey business plan presumably provides this combination.

I haven't tested Singtel's 6rd with WhizComms, but that combination might work (as well as Singtel's 6rd does) since WhizComms rides on Singtel. Any reports?

Hurricane Electric's IPv6 service (Tunnel Broker) works with any plan. They offer a /48 prefix (yay!) and local Singapore-based tunnel servers so your IPv6 traffic only has a short IPv4 hop. It's been a while since I've used their service, but it was stable when I did. Of course it doesn't offer the performance a native IPv6 connection would. And Netflix blocks traffic coming from Hurricane Electric in a (futile) attempt to enforce studio geoblocking. You need to keep Netflix traffic routed over IPv4 if you're using HE's 6rd service. However, if you're trying to reach IPv6-only addresses it's a reasonable solution.

Anyone subscribe to WC recently ? How long is the wait for the setup ?

All in all, it is good to have more competitions with around S$30 (effective pricing) plans from the ISPs.

I will usually recommend Starhub and M1 if you read the first page of the Singapore ISP comparison thread. But I understand people may have good reasons to go with other plans.

1) Starhub 5Gbps offer at S$29.55 per month. Nokia XS-2426X-A ONR (AX6000 wireless) option with one extra free Nokia Beacon 2. Very good value for average users who do not want to pay anything extra on routers.

2) Starhub 5Gbps offer at S$29.55, ONT option without router. Very good value for those who do not want to use ONR but their own router.

3) M1 6Gbps offer with two-pack of ZenWiFi BT10 at S$59.90 per month. If you value the two-pack of BT10 at about S$720 or more, then the effective price is at S$29.90 for 6Gbps no-frills plan. Some users are able to sell the two units at about S$800 to lower the effective price at S$26.57 per month.

4) Singtel 3Gbps plan at S$29.90 per month for selected new customers only (Singtel mobile customers who want to switch to Singtel for Fibre Internet)

5) SIMBA 10Gbps plan at S$29.99 per 30 days.

6) WC 2.5Gbps plan at S$24 per month (very good for recontract users). New users need to pay NLT charge of S$61.04 and installation charge of S$54.50 and the effective price of S$28.81 per month.

7) WC 10Gbps plan at S$28.99 per month (very good for recontract users). New users need to pay installation charge of S$54.50 and the effective price of S$31.26 per month.

8) VQ limited time promotion of 3Gbps plan at S$29.98 per month (no frills plan).

Then we have legacy M1 500Mbps and Starhub 500Mbps plan at about S$30.45 per month for those users who stick to the two plans (no need to recontract to continue the same pricing).

Update on 24 Jan 2025.

1) Starhub 5Gbps special offers

S$29.55 per month with ONT got no router.
S$30.37 per month with ONT got free TP-Link EX510.

S$29.55 per month with ONR got the ONR plus one Nokia Beacon 2.
S$30.37 per month with ONR got the ONR plus one or two Nokia Beacon 2.

S$29.55 per month offer is technically for new users. Existing users need to sign up as new user and cancel the old plan upon installation of the new 5Gbps plan.
S$30.37 per month offer seems to be for recontract (may need to negotiate with Starhub to get this offer).

2) Superb M1 6Gbps recontract offer --> S$15 OFF for M1 6Gbps (probably limited time offer)

S$32.90 per month with free TP-Link Archer BE805 (roughly S$360 BNIB at Carousell)
S$44.90 per month with free Asus ZenWiFi BT10 twin-pack (roughly S$800 BNIB at Carousell)

Effective pricing is lower than the above Starhub 5Gbps offer, even if you sell the bundled router cheaper than the market prevailing price to have a quick deal, say S$300 for Archer BE805 or S$720 for BT10 twin-pack.

Effective price to sell Archer BE805 at S$300 --> S$20.40 per month for 6Gbps no-frills plan
Effective price to sell ZenWiFi BT10 twin-pack at S$720 --> S$14.90 per month for 6Gbps no-frills plan.

Effective price to sell Archer BE805 at S$240 (not so soon) --> S$22.90 per month for 6Gbps no-frills plan
Effective price to sell ZenWiFi BT10 twin-pack at S$480 (not any time soon) --> S$24.90 per month for 6Gbps no-frills plan.

How do you get $14.90 per month?

Currently 6Gbps is $47.90+12 for BT10.
sell for $720.. Effective is still $29.90 per month.

Hi, so I've terminated my 1Gbps $36.99/month broadband contract with MyRepublic and they should be releasing my fibre port by 27 Jan. As Singtel is occupying my other fibre port for landline services, I could not make an appointment with the new broadband ISP so far.

I'm considering either the SH 5Gbps $29.55 plan, or the VQ 10Gbps $35 plan. Here are a few things I'm considering:
1. If I go with StarHub, I can port over my Singtel landline number (retaining the number is non-negotiable) and possibly pay a lower price (currently paying $16+/month with Singtel). But if I go with ViewQwest, I'll continue my landline services with Singtel.
2. If I go with ViewQwest, I may be sacrificing stability and subject to add-ons (Static IP? I'm not sure if I actually need this, but I read on other threads that it's only a problem if I have limitations with CGNAT or something)
3. I have a RT-BE92U and will be meshing with my old RT-AC88U. It may be sunk-cost fallacy but since I have a 10Gbps WAN port, I'm leaning towards the 10Gbps plan.

Thanks for taking the time to read all this, any responses appreciated

Take note that when you port your Singtel landline to Starhub, there is an administrative charge of $21.80. Then there is a monthly $2 charge for the digital home line. I enquired starhub few months back as I intend to switch from M1 Fibre to Starhub Fibre. Just take note of these charges.

Otherwise, you might want to consider M1 as landline is free. I ported my Singtel landline to M1 fibre 10 years ago. They currently have a promotion for new customers, $29.99/mth for 1gbps
