rencently i noticed that the network speed is really slow at only around 1Mbps. The area tested is around AMK, to Sengkang. I'm using eSIM on ZFold 5. Tried to disable 5G but same result.
any idea?

type in TPG under the personal hotspot APN name and the personal hotspot option will instantly reappear in your settings menu.

Same here, punggol, NEL and downtown One Raffles Quay location.

Same here just now in the afternoon. After shutting down and restarting the phone, speed went back up from 1mbps to 25mbps again. Sometimes, turning off/on the mobile data might work, or simply on/off aeroplane mode, but I didn't try those options today.

Yes. They have been super slow these days. Mcdonalds app don't load, crypto app don't load, M1 app don't load.

WhatsApp send photo and download media is slow. But Facebook and other social media, media load fast.

I don't understand why, tiktok, videos on youtube load well. But why other apps dont? Location wise, its everywhere, including at home with strong network. Speedtest works fine, so its not the speed issues.

I think routing issues.

The servers might detect unusual traffic and throttle the incoming traffic from a certain range of IP addresses. Nowadays a single IP address is shared among many users.

Finally resolved the lagness and slowness in SIMBA network recently. Simba got back to me with the resolutions:


Please do the below checks to help.

1. Move to a location where signal is better to have stronger and stable connection.
2. Ensure you are using a 4G capable handset.
3. Perform manual network selection & connect to SIMBA network.
4. Network Mode should be set to 4G/LTE or automatic 3G/4G/LTE
5. Delete and re-add SIMBA APN setting
6. Turn On & Off Airplane/Flight Mode
7. Restart the handset (Turn Off/On)
8. Ensure that the handset firmware is running in the latest version
9. Close all other applications running in the background
10. Delete / re-add SIMBA APN setting
11. For Dual SIM devices, test the SIM on both SIM card slot.


option 5 works for me, delete the entire APN TPG. then re-add again.

Deleting the entire APN then only need to add back "TPG" for Name & APN fields?
What about the rest of the fields, will they be auto filled correctly?

Thanks
