Pros and cons
Astound
Pros
- Download of 5,000 Mbps matches upload of 5,000 Mbps, so sending a large file is as quick as downloading one.
- The setup fee is $0, and it ranks 1 of 86 on that measure, ahead of every other brand compared.
- Service runs on cable and fttp, so one provider can cover a cable street or a fibre to the home street.
Cons
- EU roaming is paid, so European travel is billed separately.
- Data rollover is no, so unused mobile allowance does not carry into the next cycle.
- A credit check is required on the mobile side, which adds a step before a line is active.
GOMO by Singtel
Pros
- The entry plan starts at SGD 6 a month, and the terms run 1 month on rolling billing, so there is nothing long to serve out.
- Unlimited data sits at SGD 20 a month, which places it at 39 of 173 brands on that price.
- EU roaming is included across 210 countries, so a trip abroad does not need a separate roaming arrangement.
Cons
- Static IP is not offered on the broadband plans, and the Core plan asks you to bring your own router.
- GOMO sells as an mvno on the Singtel network, while GETESA and yesss! sell as network, so you deal with the reseller rather than the network itself.
- The broadband terms allow fees and charges to be amended at any time, and the upload figure on file is 7,767.5 to 7,859.68 Mbps.
Who each suits
Astound
Who it suits
- Households in US whose street already has cable or fibre to the home and who want equal download and upload speeds.
- Families adding mobile lines to the same account, where a multi line discount and rolling billing apply.
- Renters and short-stay households, since No cancellation penalty; change or cancel anytime.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who want a fibre to the home provider and nothing else, because cable and fttp includes cable while Abissnet and Kinetic list fibre to the home alone.
- Homes a wired network does not reach, where EarthLink adds fttp, 5G and satellite options.
- Travellers who expect European roaming to come included, since EU roaming is paid.
GOMO by Singtel
Who it suits
- People in Singapore who want a sim only line on rolling billing with no long tie-in.
- Travellers who want roaming across 210 countries rather than arranging cover before departure.
- Households that want the mobile line and fttp home internet from the same seller, with a setup fee of SGD 0 and a router on the Value Plan.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who insists on dealing with the network itself: GETESA and yesss! sell as network.
- Readers who want a like-for-like seller comparison: Lonestar Cell MTN is a network too, so price from and host network do the deciding.
- People who need a static IP address, because static IP is not offered here. If that feature settles the choice, compare the network sellers GETESA and yesss! closely.

Questions about each
Astound
How much does Astound broadband cost a month?+
Plans start at $19.95 a month on the entry tier. The listed lineup then steps up through Gig and multi-Gig WiFi plans, and every plan shown is on no-contract terms, so the monthly figure is the whole commitment. Whole Home WiFi is included with Gig plans rather than sold as an extra.
Is there a setup or installation fee with Astound broadband?+
Setup costs $0 to add, and in this comparison the brand ranks 1 of 86 for setup fee, ahead of every other brand measured on that point. Equipment also counts: Whole Home WiFi is supplied with Gig plans, with the top tier hardware paired to the quickest speeds.
GOMO by Singtel
What does GOMO by Singtel cost to start?+
The entry plan starts at SGD 6 a month, and the unlimited plan is SGD 20 a month. Both sit on rolling billing with a term of 1 month, and the reference plans carry no contract, so the rate you join at is the rate you keep paying while you stay on the line.
Do I have to sign a long contract?+
No. The mobile plans run on rolling billing with a term of 1 month, so there is no long tie-in to serve out. Data rollover is offered, which means data left unused in a billing cycle carries into the next instead of disappearing. The catch sits on the broadband side, where leaving early means paying the monthly fee for each remaining full month of the minimum period.
