Dont obsess with speed tests results.
just go outside and use it according to your own use case.
Dont need >100mbps for tiktok, instagram, etc.

Been a while since I last did a speedtest. This time got triggered by the posts here.

To me, can surf can already. Good enough.

Age is just a number, so are speedtest results, IMO.

Does port-in to Eight $0 plan give fresh 88 days free?

I got 2 free SIM May-19.
I cancelled one on Jul-19 to port-in my other telco number to $0 plan. Port-in successful.
My ported one cycle ends Aug-16.

Question is, does the port-in one done in July give fresh 88days free, or will still end as per first free SIM acquired in May?

I can’t see this specifically addressed in FAQs. Thank you.

Logged into your account to see?

Mine has "Your future plans:" towards the bottom of the Home page. Yours doesn't have? Means they like me better than you?

Thought they'd a $5 Business plan before? Didn't look at that coz don't have a business.

got business class performance? no more drop, higher speeds, lower latency, and more premium than singtel?

dangerous statement

AFAIK, the business plan been there for some time.

Port-in online and physical SIM posted delivery.

i must look for it. must have missed it while skimming thru their website

edit: Missed it previously because I only looked at the personal tab. no mention of higher level of mobile service, looks more like a CIS/discounted version of the personal $10 plan, but tied to proof of a business entity.

or can be viewed as an in-between the senior plan and the $10 personal plan.

Those who pick up the free sims on the initial first few days of launch, the upcoming few days will be our 88th day.

Or anyone already passed 88th day?

I believe is this location not good for eight. I had dl more than 100mbps at other locations before.

iPhone 15 Pro Max User here.. I am getting 3G at certain location suddenly. Anyone else seeing such behaviour on their android or iphone?

 

[galvin]

Went over to Ubi Service Centre to terminate one of my free $0 lines today so that i can port another number in.

Would the porting in likely be happening tonight?
