Learn my lesson after few months with Zero1, their "unlimited" plans start throttling way faster than you think.

Can someone share the download speed for zero1 when indoor?

Tested on 15th Oct 2022 at 10 pm plus at Wheelock Place (indoor). Using Zero1 Starter plan. There was no one around the area when I tested and I was standing under the indoor antenna located on the ceiling (with clear line of sight), so the conditions are probably the most ideal.

In less ideal conditions like peak period at MRT station, the speed usually throttles and it can be quite significant (until below 1 Mbps), depending on the severity of the crowd and distance from the nearest antenna available. Previously on GOMO I also experienced similar level of throttling.

Results for the ideal condition as follows, with over 200 Mbps down and 40 Mbps up.

Thank you! Are you able to test it at home? Would prefer if you’re not near any antenna. Like inside your apartment/room? Just wanna know if it goes below 50mbps.

It's a very unfair test. There will always be dead spots on SingTel. Then in that case, if we report as such, you won't switch to Zero1/VIVIFI? No right?

I already switched to Vivifi. I know m1 throttles speed at 50mbps max. Vivifi doesn’t. Wanna know for Zero1 too.

It’s a fair test as long as you’re not near an antenna.

Tested on 20th Nov 2022 at 10 am plus at my home in my bedroom (indoor). No indoor antenna nearby (not even outside of my house at the lift). I stay at upper floors so that may help in reception.

The test results are as follows, over 90 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up. I would say these results are one of the better results as I used to get an average of 50 to 60 Mbps down usually during non peak period. Again as mentioned earlier if during peak period it can throttle quite significantly to below 1 Mbps.

Just to mention I have not experienced throttling (like speed cap) on Zero1 before, unless I exceeded my data entitlement then the Zero1 unlimited data with speed throttled at 1 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up kicks in. For GOMO there used to be speed cap of around 75 Mbps down and 25 Mbps up, but it was removed from around Apr 2021 onwards.

This is very helpful! Thank you again. Will switch to zero1 with the 60gb plan soon. I think my current Vivifi plan with 20gb might not be sufficient.
