SingTel is the big brother of all the carriers. Typically great, but of course there's always blind spots, usual for mobile networks.
But it'll be much more expensive than most other telcos.
Also, will be stuck on a contract and have no idea what will happen after the contract ends.

(Prices on SingTel SIM Only have been steadily rising, from $20/mth minimum to current $30/mth minimum)

Circles.Life is on M1, so not guaranteed to be the best.
I said before, I can share some details if you want to save while testing M1 / Circles network.
Do update if u want.

Swap from m1 to tpg. Pretty good now $10 per mth including caller id , previously was paying $50/mth

IMHO. IIRC.
There are 2 bands - 8 and 40.
Band 8, the upload/download is symmetrical e.g. if download is 15, upload also 15.
Band 40, at the same location, the download is higher but the upload is like maybe 1/5.
Of course this will be subjective as it varies from location to location.
If you can choose band, it would be ideal.
P.S. Usually Band 8, the speed I don't think is higher than Band 40. Can't recall if got hit 40 Mbps.

can choose band one?

Most devices cannot choose, the phone's modem will choose whichever is better and latch on it, until signal fluctuates.

How's the MRT coverage like now? Is it really 100% coverage as they said?

Recently, I find that TPG has disconnection issue on certain location along Downtown line. Previously, i find that the line is smooth, although they are no fast. Any brother find the same?

TPG in iPhone. It's such a joy to use these days, smooth as a whistle on the orange line, and through Redhill to Paya Lebar.

Now where's their eSIM?

I would rather ask

When would Apple allow TPG Telecom to add the carrier profile?
(Cos if have carrier profile, WiFi Calling might be added. eSIM support then can be added.)

Just port from Zero1

Free delivery was actually postal mail not by courier

Activate in tpg app by scanning the barcode at abt 630pm, no signal. 11pm+ zero1 sim no signal.

12am tpg sim got signal but 4G signal on/off, i thought faulty Sim. Tried calling to my number engaged, data not working

1am ok already, sms otp from banks/insurance app all can receive.

Signal wise 4/5 bar at home in jurong east, not as strong as zero1
