eight no plan to offer 5G?

It would be a hassle in 2025 to downgrade video quality to watch it on the go...

I suppose that depends on how much you value >480p on a ~6 inch screen. And that's not to say any other carrier is necessarily going to work better aboard the MRT at the times you ride it.

Yes, some streaming applications try to adjust quality settings automatically. However, these adjustments don't always work smoothly or quickly.

I doubt so, otherwise nothing to differentiate them from Giga.

I was on eight $8 plan but since expiry have not recharged or renewed payment for 3 months. I am still able to receive sms OTP (i.e. login to eight app). Anyone knows for how long before eight terminates my mobile number/account due to non payment?

No special app.
Just reboot my 5G router multiple times.

The upgrade/downgrade plan applies to the new $11.80 right? I check faq it states $0,8,18 plans.

I believe they only utilize the package on 4G network. Definitely Speed is slower as more users increasing
