For 4G Eight. I tested with Starhub MNO prepaid using a 4G phone. Download upload speed both identical. But the ping is much lower for starhub eg <100 whereas Eight ping normally much higher eg >400

So the current Starhub MNO prepaid plan may offer better connectivity and latency .

Checked by other users before, SH MNO plans have better QCI than MVNOs (higher priority).

QCI thread has the exact values.

I close my 5g and switch to 4g now. The speed is better and is usable now. .... I pay $18 for 5g plan but unusable.

How often you get 5G signal initially in the past? Only selected places eg Malls. MRT or ??
