Updates on iPad price plans for Starhub and Singtel!

Price plans from Starhub and Singtel are out! To make things easier for everyone, I have prepared a simple table comparing the data plans available. You can also scroll down to see the data plans itself from Singtel and Starhub.

Telecom	Starhub	Singtel	M1
Monthly Subscription	$41.30	$40.00	$40.00
Data Bundle	10 GB	10 GB	10 GB
Download Speed	Up to 21Mbps	*1.7 ~ 4.8 Mbps	Up to 21Mbps
Excess Data Charge Cap	$94.16	$94.16	$30.00
Upload Speed	Not mentioned	Not mentioned	Up to 5.76Mbps
16 GB iPad	$399	$399	$399
32 GB iPad	$499	$499	$499
64 GB iPad	$599	$599	$599
	*Only typical download speed, maximum not stated

Interestingly enough, only M1 is providing the iPad without any contract, though they do not have a multi-sim plan. On the flip side, Singtel and Starhub provide subsidy prices for multi-sim but none for direct purchase without contract. 

However 1 big minus point for Singtel and Starhub is the excess data cap where they seem to be hoping that people will make use of the new data speeds and forget about their data usage, blowing up to $90+/mth, while M1 sticks to their guns and maintains $30/mth. Considering the excess data cap and considering that lesser people will be on M1's network, which essentially means faster speeds, non believers might really consider to go on M1 purely for the iPad.

Here are the Starhub and Singtel plans below, enjoy!
