Haha. Likewise.

And with plans costing 2-3x what their competitors are charging (including their own MVNOs), along with no increase in priority, it makes their plans feel greatly overpriced.

1. Indeed the non-contract Singtel SIM Only plans are way overpriced.

2. Maybe Singtel's strategy is to keep existing SIM Only plan users with good recontract offer like the following S$20.37 per month plan.
https://www.singtel.com/personal/products-services/mobile/eform/cis-campaignform

SIM Only Plus plan
12-month contract
200GB of data (for first 6 months), 100GB of data thereafter
1,000mins Talktime
500 SMS
FREE 12 months of 5G access
FREE 12 months of Caller ID
$20.37/mth


3. Let's see whether the above recontract offer will continue to exist or not. Maybe they will even allow the no-contract Singtel SIM Only users to subscribe to the above link as well after certain amount of months. Who knows...

4. BTW, the above offer is now extended to Singtel CIS customer as well who is willig to give up the CIS status.
https://www.singtel.com/content/dam/singtel/eshop/eform/tnc/cis-campaignform_tnc_2024.pdf

The offers are exclusive for existing Singtel Mobile customers who have completed their Minimum Subscription
Period. The offers are not transferable and are valid only for the person whose mobile number is targeted.

Upon agreement to change your existing CIS plan to this offer, your CIS status will no longer be valid. All CIS
benefits will be ceased.


5. If the good recontract offer is no long, I will switch to GOMO myself.

Can we sign up this plan at Singtel Shop? Or it is only available to sign up online through this link?

at those prices, the value and service levels gotta be better than just "good" :unsure:
I literally can rank Singtel this way

1. Starhub
2. M1
3. SIMBA (Never tried, but out of anger)
4. Singtel

It’s called a “Premium Service Provider”. Paying more to psychologically feel better.

Just want to share an interesting observation when I was on the free trial eSIM plan (most likely for any of their SOP too). Not conspiracy.

Speedtest:

4G:
Download: 1.XX Mbps
Upload: <1.00 Mbps

5G:
Download: 400 ~ 500.XX Mbps
Upload: <100 Mbps

What does this mean? Don't sign up their 4g only plans?

Singtel launched their Event Data Priority Pass specially for NDP at Padang/Marina Bay area

Paid $5 for it and instant activation.

Do note there's still 10GB fair use policy applies. And it lasts for 48 hrs.

Went to Esplanade area to enjoy NDP Marina Bay procession and watch NDP stream from meWatch app. Spent about 5GB worth of data within that 3 hrs span.

I have to say that 3 hrs streaming experience was about 90% fluid with 70% of the time on SingTel 5G SA and 30% on SingTel 5G NSA. MeWatch app was streaming on highest quality 90% of the time then the other 10% on lower pixelated quality with some jerks and buffering. Those 10% only happens strictly on SingTel 5G NSA. It was streaming at 1.2MB/s as shown on my status bar indicator.

I have also momentarily switched network to my Giga 5G for testing and I have to say Giga 5G SA dropped off very fast and maintained at 4G (not even 4G+) network most of the time. Giga 5G SA has also allowed me to stream at highest quality but it's 5G SA signal only maintained for 30 seconds before dropping off to Giga 4G which instantly killed off my stream every single time. Giga network kept toggling between 4G and 5G SA where 5G SA came and go within a flash second. Thus, Giga was unusable for me.

This experience clearly shows me how bad and congested 4G network have gotten at such peak utility and 5G gave much breather (like climbing onto a canopy) be it SA or NSA. As long as I was on 5G, I could surf. As long as I went back 4G, network hangs.

Not sure why your 4G speed is so low.

Giga is known not to have network priority, based on the QCI values thread.
