Internet Speed Test in Singapore

Run a Speed Test

Singapore operates a Next Generation Nationwide Broadband Network (NGNBN) — a government-mandated open-access fiber network covering 100% of homes and businesses. Retail ISPs (Singtel, StarHub, M1, ViewQwest, MyRepublic) compete on price and service on top of this shared infrastructure.

Internet Providers in Singapore

Singapore's NGNBN provides the physical fiber layer to all premises. Singtel, StarHub, and M1 are the three main ISPs by market share. ViewQwest and MyRepublic compete on premium service and gaming-focused plans.

Singapore consistently ranks in the top 3 globally for median fixed broadband speed (Ookla, M-Lab). 1 Gbps symmetric plans are standard and affordable — typically SGD 35–60/month. 10 Gbps plans are available from Singtel and others.
