Customers who sign up for or renew their StarHub 4G plans, can enjoy the new 3GB data upsize at promotional monthly rate of only $3. Usual monthly rate of $6 will apply for customers who sign up from 1 April.
* Singtel fired the first shot in the data-upsize price war, followed by M1.

StarHub joins the data price war between the telcos. Click to enlarge.
The table above is a summary of the various StarHub’s plan and how they can be enhanced by the 3GB-for-$3 promotion.
StarHub is giving IT Show 2016 a miss
Unlike M1, MyRepublic and Singtel, StarHub is not participating in IT Show 2016.
It is instead having a parallel online promotion from 10 – 18 March at www.starhub.com/big-sale.
Consumers can look for deals such as S$200 phone discounts with free delivery and free six-month subscription to multi-service HomeHub Go and selected broadband plans.
Customers who prefer physical stores, can visit any of StarHub’s 48 retail outlets across the island.
With the new offer, subscribers of StarHub’s “4G 3” plan can enjoy 6GB data bundle at a slightly increased monthly subscription rate of S$45.90.
Previously, a “4G 6” subscription plan would have set consumers back S$102.90 every month, although the plan does offer more local talktime and SMS.
StarHub will reach out to customers who signed up for one of these StarHub 4G plans on 10 March and offer them this data upsize option.
From tomorrow, customers can sign up for this offer at any of the 48 StarHub retail outlets across the island.
The promotional flyers for StarHub’s online sale are attached below.
StarHub Online Store exclusive: Sign up for any StarHub service online and stand a chance to win one of ten 55” Samsung Curved Televisions worth $3,199 each.
