Our verdict on each
Singtel
Singtel sells mobile and fibre from one network, and the entry price of SGD 29.90 sits well below the resellers listed here. Sim only plans, eSIM and 5G come as standard, but the step to SGD 89.90 once the contract term ends is what to watch.
YouFibre
YouFibre suits households inside its full fibre footprint that want a low entry price, Wi-Fi kit in the box and a rolling option alongside fixed terms. Entry starts at £20 with a £0 setup fee, and the brand ranks 1 of 86 on setup fee.

Pros and cons
Singtel
Pros
- Billing runs on contract, rolling and prepaid, so contract, rolling and prepaid structures all sit under one provider.
- Sim only plans, eSIM and 5G come together, and roaming reaches 259 countries for frequent travellers.
- Singtel is the network rather than a reseller, so its fttp fibre and its mobile service come from the same operator.
Cons
- The monthly figure steps from SGD 29.90 to SGD 89.90 once the contract period ends, so the entry price flatters the long-term cost.
- Billing on contract, rolling and prepaid includes a contract option that ties the line for 1 month, and the reference broadband plans sit on a long fixed term.
- Support runs on chat and phone only, with no email channel among the ones listed.
YouFibre
Pros
- Entry pricing of £20 a month sits well inside the 40 place of 95 on price from.
- Setup costs £0, and the brand ranks 1 of 86 on that measure.
- Every plan arrives with Wi-Fi kit in the box, with a higher grade hub on the highest speed tier and mesh boosters available.
Cons
- The advertised rate lasts only for the opening stretch of a fixed term, and the bill then steps up to renewal prices of £34.99 to £129.99.
- Walking away before a fixed term ends brings an early termination charge, which makes the low entry price a costly place to leave from.
- Maximum download speed of 8,000 Mbps ranks 10 of 114, well short of Abissnet at 10,000 Mbps.
Who each suits
Singtel
Who it suits
- Households in Singapore that want mobile and fibre from the same operator, with 5G and eSIM on the mobile side.
- Buyers who want to keep commitments short, with mobile plan terms of 1 month and a free setup fee on fibre.
- Travellers who need roaming reach of 259 countries while keeping a home tariff active.
Who should look elsewhere
- getesa, whose billing runs on prepaid and contract, for readers who want prepaid or contract only and no interest in Singtel's rolling option.
- Lonestar Cell MTN, whose billing runs on contract and prepaid, if you would rather settle on a fixed term than move from SGD 29.90 to SGD 89.90 at renewal.
- yesss!, whose plan terms run 1 and 12, if you want a longer commitment than the 1-month term on Singtel's mobile plans.
YouFibre
Who it suits
- Households already inside the full fibre footprint, in the United Kingdom, that want Wi-Fi kit in the box rather than buying a router separately.
- People who want a short commitment: the monthly rolling package has no fixed term and no early termination charge, though notice is needed in advance.
- Households that can plan around a fixed term, since the advertised rate lasts only for the opening stretch of the term before renewal prices of £34.99 to £129.99 apply.
Who should look elsewhere
- People wanting the highest headline speed in this comparison, since Abissnet lists 10,000 Mbps.
- Households outside the footprint, as coverage reaches 500,000 premises.
- Anyone who needs a mix of technologies, since EarthLink lists fttp, 5G and satellite while YouFibre runs on fttp alone.

Questions about each
Singtel
What does Singtel cost to get started with?+
The entry figure is SGD 29.90 for the fibre plans, with a free setup fee and FREE TP-Link WiFi 7 Tri-band Router HB810 included included. Once the contract period ends, the monthly figure becomes SGD 89.90, so the headline price only holds for the initial term.
Can I take a Singtel plan without a new phone?+
Yes. Sim only plans are offered, so you can use a handset you already own or a tablet, and mobile plan terms run 1 month. The same tariffs carry 5G, and an eSIM is available if you would rather not wait for a card to arrive.
YouFibre
What does YouFibre cost to get started?+
Prices start at £20 a month, and the setup fee is £0. The entry rate sits on the slowest plan, and plans with more headroom are priced higher, so a quicker line means a bigger monthly bill. No separate hardware purchase is needed either, because Wi-Fi kit comes in the box on every plan.
What will I pay once the introductory price ends?+
The advertised rate lasts only for the opening stretch of a fixed term. After the minimum term passes, the monthly bill steps up to the list price, and renewal prices run £34.99 to £129.99. That sits well above the £20 entry figure, so treat the list price as the real ongoing cost. Plan contract months of 1, 12 and 24 lets you take a shorter or rolling term instead.
