As a comparison, in recent days, I check the signal strength of both SIMBA and eight (Starhub) occasionally at different spots.

SIMBA is doing pretty well mostly, and sometimes beat eight (Starhub) signal by a nose. 😁

Yesterday around 1120pm, I was using Waze on eight for navigation. At around YCK/Upp Serangoon, the app suddenly froze. I was heading to Hougang at that time.

In a state of panic, I tried to restart Waze a few times, but it still froze. Then I launch AmiGo, another navigator, also froze.

Finally, I switch data to SIMBA and everything started working.

It seems to me, data on eight was lost around that region, or it's a phone glitch. 😑

But later, I switched back to eight, and Waze is working again. 

Having the backup data on SIMBA saved me from getting lost. Good thing I had 2 SIMCards on the phone. 😁

In sg even got lost also no need to get panic. 😂

It happened this morning at 1:12am around YCK, "eight" suddenly no internet access, my other driving app was complaining.

Switch data back to Simba. If this keeps going, going to have to drop "eight".

After leaving YCK area, later on, eight internet is back.

Yeah, I drive Gojek, midnight shift. The first time, it complained "no internet". That's when I found "eight" internet wasn't working, although the signal strength is 5 bars.

The second case happened this morning, again the app shows "no internet"

Both incidents were near YCK, Hougang area. I switched the data to Simba and continue on. After I moved away from that area, I switched back to "eight", then the internet worked.

In between I dunno how long eight internet was down, bcuz I had moved away.

I won't use the eight as main line until officially become paid line, even that I only use it for tablet or 2nd sim when travel.

Yeah, treat eight as testing phase with a backup line.

This morning no incident that I've encountered with internet access. 😀
