Eight Telecom discussion thread

[atlantis001]

Hi...does anyone know the LTE frequencies that Eight Telco uses?

Also, can someone shed light on the download and upload speeds near Canberra as well as Punggol? How is the connectivity?

Eight does not work for me anywhere. Initially was good. But recently the routes I usually took is so slow.
I just did a speedtest across 3 networks last night at the same place using my family’s lines.
Maxx gave me a download/upload speed of 119.8/14.9mbps. My recently changed zym gave me 380.3/21.5mbps while Eight is a pathetic 9.67/5.37mpbs.

Wish I could upload all 3 print screen for you but it’s so slow. Switching my wife’s eight to zym after breakfast now.

my mum recently even tax me Maxx din tell her, bt i shook my head. so M1 Maxx is it good now?

is the zym speed throughout or just once a while?

It is better to tell which area your mum staying using 4g or 5g phone?

 

[speedsonic]

5g........

 

[tan9969]

5g........

Good. The info experts here provide will be more accurate for you mum usage. All mvno advertised their network best 99% coverage but it can be lucky if your mum stay at the 1% uncovered area..So which area going to be use?

So the best is ZYM? But their package seems to be worse than giga, 8 in terms of auto roaming. How is ZYM comparing against Vivifi?

You can just trial and error since mo barriers to entry and exit to switch to another vendor if it does not work.

Zym with their 5G is certainly much faster for me compared to the rest of the mvno. I valued 8’s generous data roam but the local speed cmi and since most of the time I am in Singapore, I rather have a provider that gives me faster local speed. If need to roam and the 3GB roaming is not enough, just get those esim from shopee or pair this with a secondary sim like Eight/Maxx/Simba that offers generous data roam overseas.

just ran a speed test at Zion road market when having breakfast. Getting 283mbps download and 72.5mbps upload.

I think maxx is better than eight now. So far no complains. Zym has been consistentLY fast actually. .

May do speed test if I am around the area.

am near canberra mrt, had no issues when i used the 88days eight trial

tbh, just try signing a new line to test, now mvno pricing is mostly below $10

good to ownself test

then can decide whether to port over later

 

[seowbin]

Just ported over my Simba 12 plan to 8 eight plan.

Sent in the porting yesterday maybe around 5+pm

At night 11pm, got email from Simba say the line cancelled. The fastest porting ever. Think just nice last night have slot for porting.

Tested just now in Universal Studios.

Eight - 35Mbps
M1 - 35
Zym - 6
Singtel - 80

I wonder if Zym (using Singtel network) is throttled and deprioritised in congested areas.

 

[dexboi]

Eight porting is uber fast.
I've also had same day signup (morning), same day cutoff and port over @ 11pm.
