eight said they offer 99% network coverage including within MRT tunnels and basements. They also added that this was over 4G over StarHub's network which a StarHub spokesperson confirmed.

Got two successful registration.Wait for instructions to collect SIM card thereafter try their service.The current price is cheaper than Simba.

Will consider after it goes full service and gauging the real world performance. Coverage is generally not any issue in Singapore, the bandwidth is the more important factor. No point having full signal bars when the speed is pathetic

too bad is only 4g .. not even NSA

It's whether is it sustainable. Take a look at the $8 plan, with 8GB regional data roaming and 1GB international roaming. Seems like they are making a big loss business, it's not going to make money giving such high 8GB regional roaming allowances. Somemore, it is only $8 per month per line. Their profit margin is very very spread thinly. Their ARPU will be worst off than SIMBA. Simba ARPU has already improved to near $10 per customer since it's launch, it also took them (Simba) this long to achieve a better ARPU.

They might even say the $8/MTH plan when launched, will be free for x months and $18/MTH thereafter.

Then port back to Simba if that's the case.
