All the telcos fibre are all using the same fibre infra anyway. The only difference is at most routing due to different ISPs. Since eight is under StarHub. I am sure the experience should be similar as well.

If you choose to downgrade, your accumulated rollover data will either be dropped entirely or capped at the maximum limit of your new plan.

II just downgraded from $10.80 to $8 plan, this morning
there is rollover

not sure if it's a glitch that will be corrected subsequently
I don't need the rollover anyway, never ever used 30gb in a month before

Not clear mah. Either dropped or capped but not dropped - which is which sia? Big difference as one gets to keep and the other doesn't.

Yeah thanks for sharing, this one helpful info. Your downgrade plan is new cycle or you just downgrade cuz will need to wait for new cycle to see the effect?

If it includes international like Simba could be useful.
Local is really hard to use.

But for Simba if one change plan, all rollover is gone.

Hence i think the vague term is just to protect themself.

You won't know if have or not since it is vague

only if international roaming data is included. else it is totally a gimmick, no way anyone can utilise 528gb fully in a month. i think most ppl could not even utilise 1/10 of it.

Possible to convert a prepaid plan from eight itself to postpaid eight? How long does a number stay valid for prepaid if not paid for?

All Eight lines are postpaid, there is no prepaid line.

There is no number assigned to this card. Purely data only
and NO, you cannot switch from this to a normal phone plan
