Singtel 5G is here!

[jess_sy]

Cause at the point of iPhone 12 series launch, Singtel hasn't implemented mmWave.

I think the new galaxy s21 series also no mmWave

Yeah. I contacted Samsung and they say the S21 series supports these 5g band n1, n3, n5, n7, n8, n20, n28, n66, n38, n40, n41, n77 and n78.

If I am not mistaken, n78 is sub-6 and n257 is mmWave but the phone don't have n257.

Anyone aware of Singtel 5G performance in Tuas South?

Hopefully the Note21 Ultra / Z Fold 3 will have SD card slot and mmWave support!

5g speed in NTU

Does anyone know what speeds are like within NTU itself?

I'm willing to pay $$ for some testing of the internet speed! Or if we can rent the sim card for awhile 1h-2h. It will be a big help for a school project I'm doing!

SingTel Tourist SIM can be as cheap as $12-15 for 7 days 100GB... Just rmb that the speed cap of 75Mbps down 25Mbps up may apply since it's under prepaid.

Wait, can use the tourist e-sim to test out 5g?

interesting. are you comparing 5G of different telcos or what?

We are doing a robotics project that heavily utilize 4g/ 5g. We want to see if 5g is significantly better enough for us to switch. Only Singtel has the stand alone network that has a big enough difference (we think).

However, Singtel requires us to get a $48 plan & 24 month contract which may or not be better for our application. We want to try first before commiting

Sorry Prepaid have no 5G. SingTel don't have eSIM for smartphones as well.

Erm M1-NTU had inked the C-V2X trial in Oct 2019, it could be on the 5G SA network. You might want to check with the professors that were involved in the trial to see if it is still in development, and if possible to deploy on your solution.

That's assuming that your robot is operating outdoors. M1's network in certain faculty buildings can be quite bad, dropped to 3G or even No Service.

Thanks for the ideas!

Willing to pay $100 for just 1-2h of testing! if anyone is interested please PM me.

New XO Plus is so much more expensive than the old XO Plan.

Not sure if the new CIS version has the same rebates as the old CIS XO plans rebate of $9/18/25

 

[serverxeon]

my company only get 10% discount on the new XO plans,

and the phones are mightily expensive. almost $400 more than starhub.

 

[vaxvms]

wow give so much data?

me every mth also no use 10gb data

iszit mean 5g suck more data in the background?

 

[jess_sy]

How's Singtel 5G so far guys?

seems like Singtel is the only telco updating regularly about it's 5G deployment on their website.

[007Mi6]

Anyone look at the discount on their CIS XO plus plans? Mine is reflecting as 20% discount off National rate.
