View Mobile PlanSingtel or StarHub? Singapore's two biggest telcos have been rivals for decades, and both run excellent networks — so this comparison comes down to priorities, not a knockout. Broadly: Singtel leads on raw 5G speed and network extras, while StarHub counters with very wide 5G coverage and competitive bundles. The plan grid above shows live prices from both, so you can judge today's actual value.
Network & coverage
Both are full mobile network operators with their own infrastructure. Singtel reached 95% nationwide 5G standalone coverage in July 2022, was first to deploy the 700MHz band for 5G SA, and topped Opensignal's H1 2025 Singapore report for median 5G download speed and 5G availability. Its 5G+ tier adds network slicing for prioritised bandwidth. StarHub launched 5G standalone in 2021 and passed 99% outdoor population coverage in early 2024; it deploys its 3.5GHz 5G SA network through Antina, the joint venture it shares with M1. In everyday use, both networks are strong across the island — Singtel usually edges benchmark tests, but few users will find StarHub lacking.
Plans & flexibility
Both are full-service telcos: phone bundles with contracts, no-contract SIM-only plans, prepaid, eSIM support and 5G standalone access on their main postpaid tiers. Each also runs a budget digital brand — Singtel has GOMO (and hi!), StarHub has giga! — so if the flagship plans feel pricey, the same networks are available for less. Roaming, entertainment perks and device deals differ plan by plan, which is where the live grid above earns its keep.
Which should you pick?
Pick Singtel if you want the network that tops the benchmarks and features like 5G network slicing. Pick StarHub if its current plan pricing, perks or bundles suit you better — coverage-wise you're well served either way. Compare live prices above, see the full Singtel and StarHub pages, or browse 5G plans, SIM-only plans and the best plans overall.
Frequently asked questions
Is Singtel better than StarHub?+
Both run excellent networks, so neither is universally better. Singtel tops independent benchmarks like Opensignal's H1 2025 Singapore report for median 5G download speed and 5G availability, while StarHub offers over 99% outdoor 5G standalone coverage and often competes harder on plan pricing and perks. Compare their live plans above to see which offers better value today.
Singtel vs StarHub 5G — which network is faster?+
In Opensignal's H1 2025 Singapore report, Singtel recorded the fastest median 5G download speed and highest 5G availability. StarHub's 5G standalone network is no slouch — it covers over 99% of the outdoor population and has won awards for upload speed. For most users, both deliver fast, reliable 5G. See current 5G plans from both.
Do Singtel and StarHub use the same network?+
No — they are separate mobile network operators with their own infrastructure. One nuance: StarHub deploys its 3.5GHz 5G standalone network via Antina, a joint venture with M1, while Singtel's 5G network is entirely its own.
Which is cheaper, Singtel or StarHub?+
It depends on the tier and the current promotions — both run frequent deals, and both have budget sub-brands (GOMO and hi! for Singtel, giga! for StarHub) that undercut their flagship plans. The plan grid above shows live prices from both providers sorted by price, and our cheapest plans page covers the whole market.
Can I keep my number if I switch between Singtel and StarHub?+
Yes. Mobile number porting is free in Singapore and takes effect quickly once your new SIM is activated. Sign up with the new telco, select number porting, and don't cancel your old plan first. Full steps in our guide to porting your number.
