From the info, i guess Eight is adjusting old $8 plan from 588gb to 528gb but happened to remove rollover data by mistake. Including some other old plans adjustment too i think.

while one can never even finish one month of quota, the rollover is totally meaningless.wow how to finish 7104gb?
Since it comes free, i definitely dont mind, it also gives one the incentives to try ways of using the data more. Also, an added piece of mind that you are fully stocked with data.while one can never even finish one month of quota, the rollover is totally meaningless.
Noticed my $11.80 5G Fortune plan also says "including 0 KB rollover" for APAC and Intl roaming data.
Thought there's no rollover for the lower end legacy 5G plans?
Meanwhile, likewise for my other family members' $10.80 5G+ Power plan - previous text has been updated with "0 KB".

same too for my 5G+ {pwer plan. become 0 KB rollover.
For the time being disregard your plan profile info, I think Eight is doing some corrections to the users' profile. My missing rollover data is reinstated. I think for old Double Eight Plan of 528gb instead of 588gb will be implemented with immediate effect as I recalled I should have around 1.023TB or something like that, not 1.01TB.

Now the app shows rollover local data.
My eight S$8 plan has 3.08 TB local data (including 2.57TB rollover).
Useless though...

With the speed of eight 4G plan, even using with a 4G LTE SIM router, it is difficult to finish the rollover local data...
Using the 5G plan with a 5G SIM router (Fibre Broadband replacement) may be a good use case if you got good speed at your location.
I beg to differ, Eight 4G speed during non-peak period hovering between 70mbps to 150mbps, u can see i am left with 500+gb rollover.
I did a speed test just now.

Yeah it’s back.
They reinstated the rollover data for 4g. They also updated the 5g+ international data rollover details to include data usage information.
Looks like a glitch for update… they should have done it during 12am to 5am time, less people kanchiong.

4G plans do not show this 0KB thingyfor APAC and Intl roaming data.
It could be eight will implement roaming data rollover for the 5G plans (including legacy 5G plans and new 5G+ plans).
Reference: eight is probably learning from competitors.

hi! by SingTel (SingTel hi! Postpaid) now only got 5G+ for new users upon initial sign-up or port-in. They have local data, roaming data and IDD rollover.
https://www.singtel.com/personal/products-services/mobile/hi
Unused data, roaming & IDD roll over for up to 6 months
***
the Q&A only stated that 5G+ plan got rollover for roaming data. Not applicable to 5G or 4G plan.
5G+ Power Plan too showing 0 KB for roaming data.

eight 5G+ claims
https://www.eight.com.sg/mobile/
Not sure where this 4x speed comes from?
700 MHz band helps the coverage but not speed.

| 5G+ | 5G+ | |
|---|---|---|
| + Coverage | Nationwide 5G connectivity | Enhanced coverage that reaches more indoor and underground locations |

| + Capacity | Designed to support high network demand | Greater capacity for better performance where more people are connected |
| + Indoor experience | 5G coverage where available | Stronger connectivity in more indoor and harder-to-reach spaces |
| + Everyday experience | Fast browsing, streaming and downloads | A smoother, more consistent connected experience |

giga 5G plan users also got 5G+ since 15 Oct 2026.

5G+
giga speeds and greater roaming arrive with 5G+ on 15 October 2026, and you don't have to lift a finger for either. 5G+ brings faster, steadier 5G to basement car parks, lift lobbies and deep MRT platforms, where it's always struggled and your connection gives out just when you need it. On the same day, Asia Roam grows from five countries to 24 on selected plans, so more trips run on included roaming data instead of an add-on pack....
Is 5G+ the same as 5G Standalone?
Standalone was the earlier change, moving the network onto a 5G core, which is what brought the response times down. 5G+ is the next step, adding 700MHz spectrum on top of that core.How do I know if I am connected to 5G+?
You can't always tell from the screen yet, because some phones are still waiting on the software update that adds the 5G+ icon. A more reliable check is your setup: if you're on a giga 5G plan with a compatible phone and a standalone 5G SIM, your phone uses 5G+ wherever it's available. For a closer look, iPhones and Android phones both have a status menu with network details, though how you open it depends on your model.
