Price Comparison Analysis
If you are considering the basic plan across the three telcos, StarHub will offer the best value over two years at $1,480. However, if you need more than 100 minutes of talk time, M1's ValueSurf+ will offer you an extra 20 minutes of outgoing local talk time every month (additional charge of $24 over two years).
For both mid and high-tier plans, StarHub gives you a better deal by having the lowest total costs over a two-year period and offering more data bundle.
SingTel will provide the best deal in the premium plan category with the lowest total cost over two years at $4,920, which is $130 and $98 cheaper than M1 and StarHub respectively. However, if you tend to use more than 2,000 minutes of local talk time per month, M1's MaxSurf+ will be better as it offers unlimited outgoing local talk time.
