Eight Telecom discussion thread

My worst eight 4G Speedtest Results, using Poco X6 Pro phone, not even during peak hours, not underground MRT tunnels.

Looks like people likes to show slow speed as well.

Even with the below speed, I can still browse HWZ forum.

Eight 4G S$8 plan
Poco X6 Pro
Chinese Garden MRT, on the train
Sunday afternoon, about 3pm

Beat this record low as well today.

Thursday evening, 10:23pm

Still can load HWZ forum but feel the obvious lag.

Anyone on the 4g plan? I have been getting average 10mbps and 50-70ms ping

i have no concern which i am on 4g plan since day 1.

also used the roaming data in jaybee all the time as well.

That is kind of normal in quite some locations, especially during peak hours. It can be lower speed and higher ping at other locations.

But you should get better speed at some other locations.

My top speed for eight 4G is above 300 Mbps, but that is only one time. Typically it would be lower than 100 Mbps. Using Poco X7 Pro.

Usually no problem with roaming.


I dont think i ever hit double digits mbps

That would be a bit strange.

What is the phone used? SpeedTest done at different locations and different times?

For eight 5G users, would you please help to check if 5G NSA network is still available?

5G NSA network was supposed to shut down yesterday. But apparently SingTel cannot achieve the goal.

On the other hand, I cannot use 5G NSA network with my StarHub Prepaid S 5G plan. So I think StarHub may already shut down 5G NSA network.

Hope to get some confirmation here. Thanks.

Today is April 1 and 5G NSA network is still alive. I checked my Zym line and SingTel S$15.28 line (by disable SA mode of my Poco X7 Pro phone).

On the other hand, checked my StarHub Prepaid S 5G plan on another Poco X7 Pro phone, I cannot get 5G NSA, it is either 5G SA or 4G LTE.

Probably need to check M1 also. Conceivably StarHub could shut down "its" 5G NSA, but Antina could still be operating 5G NSA for M1 and/or its MVNOs.

A CL user reported that he could only get 5G SA and 4G LTE, not 5G NSA. So probably M1 5G NSA network has been shutdonw as well.

Same for me.
Northern area.
My Zym old 10.10 plan, still have 5g NSA..
Circles with 5g add on is either 5g SA or 4g LTE.
Maybe Singtel and it's MVNOs haven't fully deployed yet.

Tested on oppo, samsung and iphone

I see, then the phones are not the issue. You may want to carry out the test in different locations and at different times.

If you live near to the west, Jurong Point Starhub Shop is a good test location. Speed can be very fast sometimes.

Just tested, same location. Now about 100mbps with faster ping.

Good then. Thanks for the update.

eight 4G network can be very congested. That is why you may get very slow speed during peak time. Off-peak time, with good signals, speed should be quite okay.

What phone are you using? Some phones has limited support for the mobile network bands there

Poco x7 pro

 

[x3yang]

Only an average of 1.3GB of mobile data per day?

Just to put that figure into some perspective, if you listen to a streaming music service such as Spotify for the whole 24 hour day — including time spent sleeping — at a 128 Kb/s bit rate (the maximum Spotify Free uses on desktop), you'd only use slightly more than 1.3GB

Previously when I bought roaming sim card, I always exceed 2gb per day.

If I were to guess.. u were using iPhone??

Poco x7 pro
