Indeed, Eight 4G fastest speed is faster than its direct competitor Simba 5G speed, nevertheless both are fine for decent usage.

majority of users in taiwan still use 4G instead of 5G even now.

Taiwan's 5G are still on 5G NSA, make sense to stay on 4G still.

During the morning and evening peak hours, the eight speed in NEL train is very slow. Usable, but not so good for browsing Instagram or TikTok Shorts.

maybe because 5G costs much more there?

Been to Taiwan many times on their 4G network, honestly speaking, more than enough. You get signal everywhere, go mountain or go tunnel all have signal.
中华电信 ftw ...

over here in SG, we are stressed over NSA versus SA!

They’re not jumping to 5G is because 4G is good enough and 5G is just too expensive. But when I’m there, SIMBA connects to 4G while Z1 connects to 5G.

Soon we won't have this issue when switch to true 5G SA which is still coming soon
