That’s why we have compiled a list of the best No Contract broadband deals, ones that come with no lock-in period. Having the freedom to cancel your broadband at any time, with penalties is a great way to test your chosen broadband provider. Ask yourself, how good is their aftersales service, broadband speeds and do you get access to the website you require or is the provider throttling and limiting access? If it’s a good value broadband deal that offers the fastest connection, then you might need to look at a contract plan. However, ViewQwest and MyRepublic offer solid No Contract alternative that gives you the best of both worlds.

What are No Contract or Short-Term Broadband Deals?

A short-term or No Contract broadband plan is one that comes with no lock-in period, as the majority of the broadband provider in Singapore expect you to sign 12 or 24-month contracts. A short-term or no contract deal is usually more expensive, but you are paying for the freedom to move if you are unhappy with the service or if you simply don’t need broadband access anymore.
