How to get an honest StarHub test result

  • Test on a wired Ethernet connection — Wi-Fi alone can hide 10–30% of your real line speed
  • Run one test mid-morning and one between 7–10 PM local time — the gap exposes peak-hour congestion on the StarHub segment
  • Watch ping and jitter, not just download — they determine whether calls, games, and cloud apps feel responsive
  • Run 3–5 tests back-to-back and use the minimum — that is the speed your real-time apps experience, not the marketing peak
  • If your wired test is consistently 20%+ below the plan, it is worth a support call to StarHub — provisioning drift is real and they will usually refresh your modem remotely

Frequently Asked Questions

What speeds does StarHub deliver in Singapore?

StarHub typically delivers 500–2000 Mbps in Singapore across its Fiber (FTTH) plans. Run a wired Ethernet speed test to see what your specific line is producing right now.

Why is my StarHub speed test slower than my plan?

The three most common causes are Wi-Fi (can hide 10–30% of real line speed), peak-hour congestion between 7–10 PM on shared segments, and outdated router or modem hardware. Run one test on Ethernet mid-morning and a second at 9 PM to see the gap.

Is StarHub good for gaming and video calls?

StarHub fiber plans deliver symmetric speeds with low jitter and are excellent for gaming and video calls. For competitive gaming, aim for ping under 30 ms and jitter under 5 ms on a wired connection.

How do I run an accurate StarHub speed test?

Connect your device to the router via Ethernet cable, pause downloads and cloud sync, close streaming apps, and run 3–5 consecutive tests. Record the minimum result — that is the number that matches real-time usage, not the peak.
