Eight Telecom discussion thread

[amazingone]

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.

Probably network prioritisation happening in the backend, with mvno having least priority.

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

M1 Maxx suck in my location though . Poor speed even at full bars .
It's throttle and stability is the worst I used .

Eight/zym seems much better .

Can 8 receive incoming calls from Singapore when you are overseas ? or allow you to call a local number when overseas ? ie. voice romaing.

Gomo and Giga doesn't support voice call roaming.

IMHO.
IIRC, whilst I was in Malaysia, I was able to make voice call from Simba to Eight and vice versa. Not sure if got any additional charges.

Tested 8 on the bus all the way to KL and up on Genting. No drop in line.

I believe it is safe and appropriate to refer to the Eight CIS Clause Minimum Term Part 3 regarding your query.

Post 30 days. Didn't said less than 30 days need to pay penalty. like simba need to pay $30 if port out in less than 30 days. .

Not quite 1 north, but at NUH, 71 & 73 ayer rajah crescent, timbre+ etc.
speed and coverage is fine. YMMV.

 

[uncle_josh]

1 north actually is south west region.

some successful case and some unfortunate case.

In JB roaming, using MAXIS can get 5G. But speed very slow, tested to be around 1Mbps. Feel like priority limit.
Using U mobile only 4G. But speed is unlimited, can get 100Mbps

 

[roborovsky]

Just ported over a 2nd line over from M1 to Eight.
Done at Promenade station retailer.
From signing up to successful port over all within 12 hrs.

Eight very good in johor while simba trail behind be it network or the number of roaming gb
