Last weekend i tried using simba in KL. It is pretty bad. A few of my apps took forever to load. Tried to load a couple of times but just could not. End up i switch to my starhub free roaming data and it worked immediately.

Overall i think there is a lot of room to improve. Speed i felt is really slow. Basically if using WA, IG and Fb i think still acceptable. Best to have another data roaming as backup.

that's good that they increased the mobile data bundle. They should revise the seniors plan data bundle too.
But i think from a business point of view, they wouldn't. This is because, it will cause their ARPU to drop.

But anyway, 100gb is more than enough per month with such a speed

I'd rather they worked on the speed than giving more data. I think most people dun need so much data and thus no loss to them. This move is more for marketing purposes only.

Senior plan already increased from the previous 20GB to 100GB (SG+MY) and all these for just $5...

SIMBA lacks the required spectrum to operate at faster speed.

The Telco company is holding on to most/all of the high speed spectrum.

They did improve over time. Used to be ~4mbps but now is ~100mbps at the same location for me. They can add more base stations or better equipment. I'm sure there r ways even though they only have limited spectrums to use.

Wait till IMDA releases more spectrum for sale (bid) and hopefully SIMBA will be given a fair competition instead of favoritism over the Telco company.

Isn't Simba our 4th telco? :s11:

Though it's quite often compared to the MVNOs lately, or since Eight's appearance? :crazy:

I am on $12 plan. On the website, it says Free IDD + 100 mins Myanmar but when I login, the APP, it says IDD and local 600 minutes and the SMS also saying the same thing. Which one is correct?
