Giga Vs MyRepublic 5G

[alex76]

I understand that both MVNO are using Starhub network and happens that my office building have Starhub transponder all over,.
When I was on MyRepublic, my phone got option to choose 5G Standalone and I always get 5G full bar reception.
Now, I just signup Giga (cos I dumped MyRepublic and tried to re-signup again, they want $100 deposit), the reception varies half to full bar only on 4G and there is no option for 5G standalone in my setting . I did signed up for the 5G pack .
I wonder if both provider are using Starhub network, why is there differences in the reception?

Believe Giga 5G is not available at the moment, previously signed up and could not receive 5G too.
Spoke to CS on FB and they mentioned it was WIP and will update, refunded the 5G. No news since.

MR 5G pretty decent from personal experience.
The Giga reception have been pretty weak for me too since a few months back, but still serviceable.

Starhub got news release saying Giga subscriber can use 5G and even Giga is offering the 5G pack. If it's not available, why do they charge us extra for 5G?

giga 5G is only NSA. Not worth the $10. Now there's barely any NSA coverage from starhub, because almost all are SA. So you won't be seeing 5G often
