Eight Telecom discussion thread

[ngbc]

Anyone experienced really slow and intermittent network on eight today?

experience it since yesterday afternoon. checked speedtest, ping is the issue. like need to queue quite sometime for your request. once your turn liao the connectivity is ok then queue again. end up you find it laggy and hard to use data.

hopefully is some glitch and Eight is working on it. cannot stand this quality if it is due more and more people porting in

Yes. Quite slow today. IG video keep pausing. Even whatsapp photo cannot send out. Took 5 mins to send.

Wa today’s service is really really slow

Laggy since yesterday...
Not topping up also

seems intermittent. just now couldn't open shopee. now better...hope nothing to do with Starhub network issues back in SG.

Trying to port out of Eight to Z1 but failed. I cannot even submit the porting in request on Z1 website. I read that some users reported same problem too so is there any foolproof solution to this?

My iPad has Eight and Simba. Indoor I put to Eight though most times I've WiFi, coz I want to save my Simba resources for JB. But most times when I stepped out, I'd get frustrated with Eight connection and switch to Simba.

save Simba for JB? you don't use Hotlink anymore?

OT abit...

Still do, Hotlink's my primary provider in Malaysia and I use it to roam in Batam too.

Just that I'll roam with Simba all the way until I get a chance to settle down and switch. Same when coming back, switch to Simba before boarding my transport back. And it's my backup in places where Hotlink doesn't seem to work - like the switch data feature in my iPhone.

Hi, I needed help.
I had tried porting out of circle ytd to eight telecom.
However I’m unaware that I need to verify my port out with circle and received an email stating my port over had failed.
I had already contacted circle and verify my port out request and they had advised to contact eight telecom to submit the porting in request again tomorrow.
May I know is there any contact number I can call eight telecom?

No phone number to call. Email reply might take a while.

I'd just visit on of their service centres.

Omg… I not in sg now.
wondering anyone encounter same issue before, will they retry again tomorrow and if porting failed, circle will not terminate my current line right?

Rightfully will try a 2nd time. They want your business.

Under normal circumstances, failed port-out would mean your line should continue to stay with Circle.

If you are talking about 4G plans, eight and giga is the same.

Unless, you want faster better speed, than get Giga 5G
