Dear forum members,

I realize that if one uses Eight data to watch YouTube, there is a message "Sign in to confirm you are not a bot", I do not want to sign in. Besides changing to another telco, what other options do I have? Thanks.

You can try to turn the SIM card off and on again (or restart your phone/device) to get reassigned another IP address. I'm hotspotting on Eight as well and don't have to sign in to watch Youtube.

StarHub sees 50.9% drop in second-half profit, shares fall 3.3%


3cc513df29a6decada14d17ce3361e776be8c64919b021ce13167d5a52d9adc4


StarHub on Feb 12 reported a 50.9 per cent fall in second-half earnings to $38.5 million from $78.4 million in the same period a year ago.

This brought net profit for the year to December to $86.4 million, down 46.2 per cent from $160.5 million in 2024.

StarHub said that excluding a one-off forfeiture payment of $14.1 million for the return of a telecommunication spectrum lot, net profit would have been $100.5 million.


StarHub’s second-half revenue declined 3.1 per cent to $1.2 billion, while full-year turnover dipped 0.6 per cent to $2.35 billion.

Shares of StarHub fell after its results’ announcement, with the counter down four cents or 3.3 per cent to $1.16 at 9.16am.

The telco declared a final dividend of three cents per share. Combined with an interim dividend of three cents per share, this brings the total dividend for the year to six cents.

The mobile business recorded $532.5 million in revenue, a 7.7 per cent drop, while its broadband and entertainment businesses also contracted 0.5 per cent and 7.1 per cent respectively.



TLDR: Mobile telcom drop 7.7% and they have to return one spectrum back. wl

Not really. They must admit their fault for losing battle to acquire M1. They planned everything well, think they will get M1 and make everything seamlessly, multi brands and 5 years roadmap mapped.

Suddenly Le wild lion Simba emerges to snatch M1 away. Just like National Geographic channel, the hennas planning to eat up M1, till the Lion emerges.

eight S$8 per month 4G plan, Poco X7 Pro, EWL line, not fast but usable, at around 5:20 pm Friday afternoon.

You may see weak internet connection along the trip though.

expected one. their CS and tech is super lousy. cannot solve problem one. keep giving canned answer and nothing solve. if they don't improve and clean up within, is a matter of time, starhub will be like M1 in the past

I do not usually take MRT during peak hours, but EWL Redhill to Outram (or EWL Redhill to City Hall) is not as bad as NSL Dhoby Ghaut to Orchard, based on my testing of different providers and also reports in this forum.

Recent bad test results from my main line SingTel S$15.28 per month plan, 5G NSA connection, 1:30pm Friday afternoon, not even the real peak time.

North South Line, SingTel SIM Only S$15.28 plan, Poco X7 Pro, 5G NSA connection.

You can see the speed is very bad. But I am still able to browse HWZ forum.
