Eight Telecom discussion thread

eight 4g is crap during peak periods congested cannot use at all like donating to charity.

5G spotty during peak, use hang use hang.

Non peak i suspect should be fine.

When samsung(eight) drops in bar, browser not responding, my spare oppo(simba) responded quicker than blink of an eye. Both 4g+.

i have apple and samsung same 4g cannot use during peak so i upgrade to 5g.

Why not you switch sims and try, i dont think it is a samsung issue.

So is it Samsung vs oppo or eight vs simba?

Would say is simba vs eight more than samsung issue. But, i used to experience random network drops before with samsung versus my then spare apple.
