SA should load websites faster due to lower pings. But in terms of speed, unl3ss one is downloading huge files, won't feel much difference. It's like home BB. One can also watch Netflix 4k hdr with no lag on a 500mbps service, dun really need 1gbps or 10gbps. But when one download the shows to view offline, then one will appreciate the higher speed during downloading.

surveyor is back ^^

I feel that '5G SA loading pages or websites faster' is even less noticeable than 60hz vs 120hz refresh rate.

And there are people who claim they don't see any difference between 60hz vs 120hz phones.

Initially I also dunno any diff with 60 or 120hz, until I found out scrolling websites up and down can see, then I understand. Hah.

They will all have deals for 10.10 anyway.

I guess the 10.10 strategy for eight must be 5G :cool:
Hmm I wonder when will they launch 5G ? 8th or 10th Oct ?
Or perhaps launch 8th Oct with a promotion for 10.10 ?

Anyway I don't recall these providers has much promo for x.x dates.

can watch video/stream without interruption
If you want stream without lags or interruption, best you get Singtel 5G+ enhanced priority pro plus max.

Each teclo has it's blind spots, singtel, starhub, M1 and simba each has it's blind spots. It is also up to individual experience, what we experience might be different from you, expectations too.

Since it's a sim only plan without contract, you can give it a try for a month. Take note eight is only 4G only (for now).

So manage your expectations please, 4G and $8.
