Yeap, but not APAC and International.
i.e. although both says "includes rollover data", your previous month's leftover quota didn't carry over to this new month?

of course lah. just started rollover. need to confirm coming mth got rollover or not.

There is no $11.80 5G+ plan show on eight front page. So your need to manually recharge to upgrade your plan to $12.80 5G+ plan or downgrade to $10.80 5G+ plan. Thank you.

This one seems tricky :
$10.80 has less APAC/Int quota, the only advantage is the rollover
$12.80 provides slight increase in local data/sms & IDD, plus rollover for $1 more.
Depending on ones requirement it could make sense to stay on $11.80.

How is your 5G+ experience? Do you lost signal once it is out of coverage or it will automatically downgrade to 4G?

Other than some places I notice speed from 50+ boost to 200+
no different when in crowded places and inside MRT during peak period
4G works better

Could anyone using Eight (specifically the Senior Plan) test if you can access www.haze.gov.sg?

I’m unable to load the site over my Eight mobile data on both Safari and Orion browsers. However, it loads immediately when I switch to Singtel data or turn on a VPN.

Just trying to figure out if this is an Eight routing/DNS issue or specific to my line.

Thanks!

Works fine on 5G plan. Using ControlD DNS.

Found the solution from Gemini after trying out all the possibilities that it listed :

Toggle Airplane Mode: Turn on Airplane mode for 10 seconds and turn it back off. This forces your iPhone to disconnect and reconnect to the eight tower, assigning you a fresh IP address that might not be flagged.

Roaming is dependent on overseas signal towers and maintenance leh...
