Starhub Giga

[kazuki666]

This I feel puzzled. Shouldn't Starhub and Giga have same speed since they are on the same network? Same for Singtel and Gomo. Curious how it can differ quite abit...

On samsung note 9.
Giga 40gb S$18.
My wife singtel 30gb S$25 sim only is getting 90mbps.
Looks like I need to jump ship.

Get Grid, it's using Singtel. I've achieved over 200mbps on Speedtest. If you're on CIS, current promo not bad, 30GB for 12mths, first 3 months get extra 80GB, usual 20Gb/MTH. $17.90/mth

free caller ID for 12 months.

TnCs

Are we sure this price plan is still available for sign up; i.e., Caller ID + 30GB at $25? I knew someone sign this up end of last year at Singtel road show.

But is it available now? If yes, kindly show link or which physical shop, I am considering too. Thanks.

For me, the speed numbers don't really matter actually. Giga is still able to play 1080p youtube vids smoothly without stutter, so I'm good.

that's true. Speed is not really the biggest consideration for my family as we usually just surf the web, do msg and watch some videos, that's all. As long as the access is w/o glitches then we are happy already.

I signed up two more $10 plans for my parents, in preparation for the ending of their StarHub contract plan in October, adding in my referral code.

Ownself refer ownself.

I am thinking to do it for my parent too, but a little tricky. Need your advice...

My parent is using pre-paid with M1. I suppose have to switch from M1 prepaid to postpaid first, then M1 postpaid portover to giga right? From my understand the prepaid to postpaid within same telco will still incur a new simcard charge lor... Then M1 cheapest sim-only plan also is $20...

Yeah I think so too, according to the advice given by the users here. But I have not touched pre-paid plans for a very long time liao so u better wait for the others to comment before confirming.

To add on, after switching to postpaid u need to hold it min 1 month. I didn't pay for the sim charge.

oh, you had change from prepaid to postpaid within same telco, but they didn't charge you a cent? Which telco is it ah??? Did you have to walk-in to the store to do it, or over the phone/online can liao?

Thanks.

I had the same questions when switching pre to post, I did it over the phone 1627 and that's where I was told I need to hold the number for 1 month before porting over to another telco. I used back the same sim card, so no charges.
Orange to Green.

wah, then i kena bluff by orange leh. I switched my parent's prepaid line to my name in store. The orange CSO say if i want to switch from prepaid to postpaid, have to pay $30++ for new simcard. I say make no sense since we are using the prepaid like $18 over 3-4months, but now if I switch to sim-only is $20 a month. The CSO say policy cannot waive.... So now i know, i was bluffed lah...

Swee, I will wait till the prepaid credits left abit, then call in to switch to postpaid sim-only . From there then port-out. haha Thanks

Grid CIS is attractive.

I checked the roaming packs, also comparable to giga I think.

So there is no rollover data with grid. What other diff?

Port in process for grid is it as easy?
