For my use case, when i use getgo, i have to upload photos of pre-trip and post trip. The upload speed was damn slow. I have to use my other zym phone to tether hotspot using zym's 5G. So frustrated with the slow upload speed and ported out of eight to zym.

Few pages ago, there is one user mentioned when he tried doing livestream, he only able to do 720p upload. in 1080p livestream (upload), it's laggy and jittery.

If one requires faster upload speed, i.e live streaming, uploading photos or sending photos, eight will not be a good choice. Otherwise, eight streaming speed and download speed is good, do all the work well.

Orchard Central not convenient for you? :grin:


Sometimes I feel Simba these days is only good for "buying" numbers. Other than attracting seniors with their $5 plan, that is. :razz:

Their $5 seniors plan is very very slow one… my father uses because it’s cheap and has roaming. We got for my mother only because it’s cheap and because she was previously on prepaid without data, and because she’s only using it for WhatsApp when outside, so she can’t tell the difference

I hope eight stays at $8 forever, then I can use when I’m elderly…

Simba 5G only use n1 with 10MHz.
Compared that with Singtel / Shared M1+SH 100MHz in n78, there is totally no contest.
Until / unless Simba get more spectrum for 5G, that would not improve.
And it would be fair to say that Simba's 5G is only for show in its current state.

The bigger puzzle is with Simba's 4G, where they have 60MHz, mainly in B40 (40MHz).
Compare that with Starhub 70MHz, Singtel 75MHz, M1 45MHz, I would say Simba is not at a disadvantage as for as spectrum is concern, so it does seem a bit strange why Simba's 4G performance is not good.
A possible explanation is that users are not able to make use of B40 which forms the bulk of Simba's 4G spectrum, which no other SG Telco uses, but that didn't make sense since my 10year old phone also supports that band.
