The dreaded Eight slowdown begins. Can feel it even from across the bridge. 457ms!

Anyone else feeling it too?

Just ported in today?

Please wait until tomorrow morning about 9am or so, for the whole process to be completed, then restart your phone.

Which telco or MVNO are you on now? Why only feb then can port?

Are there credits left? If you average out between the free 6months (from zero1) and credits left, which one is more? If cannot tahan the speeds, I'll rather port out, if it's me

Yes $56 in eight telecom. Still can tahan. But looking to change to 5G.
