SINGAPORE: StarHub introduced a new mobile data add-on option on Friday (Feb 22), calling it "the market's largest data bundle" to date, at a flat monthly fee of S$20 for 50GB.
Customers who have subscribed to its postpaid plans introduced in December last year can purchase the add-on, which promises "worry-free data" or continued connectivity even after all the data has been used.

In its release, StarHub pitches its "easy-to-understand" plans against "unlimited" data plans with "plenty of obscure limitations, from one-time activation fees to compulsory contracts and hidden speed and usage restrictions".
Currently, many "unlimited data" offerings in the market have a clause which limits a user's surfing speed after a certain data cap is reached.
The data bundle can be added at any time using the My StarHub app.
