Excess data charges

[Ivan_06]

MR hav roaming...but e basic bundled ($8) data is oni 1GB....so u need to topup if u want more....n their throttled spd after data limit is slower than zero1

MR throttle speed is 256kb/s,

 

Zero throttle speed is 1Mb/s.

and they keep changing the components of the CIS plans also ... like for my SGH plan ... first 2 times got free caller ID, 3rd time pay 50%, then current free again ... anyway, I will be getting sim-only plan by end of contract.

Why not sign up with a MVNO, I think they offer good value, and most important is no bill shock like what you encountered.

 

I see you are using 4GB. The closest is Myrepublic $8 uno plan top up $12 for additional 3 gb. Final price will be $20/month and your get,

4 GB

1000 min outgoing

Free incoming

Free caller ID

1000 sms.

No contract.

Boundless data. Means no bill shock, They throttle your data speed when you over shot your limit.

 

Only thing they are riding on Starhub infrastructure. Some say coverage not as good as singtel.

256kb/s for MR is still usable for most of the time if it just download, like reading webpage, loew res youtube, stream radio. The problem is their upload speed during throttle is almost non-existence. Upload a big file picture in whataps takes a long time.

 

Zero1 still not too bad for both download and upload.

1Mbps is good for maximum 480p YouTube. 256kps is super low rws YouTube video lei.

Am aware of that, but you want to streaming YouTube, definitely not the plan for you. But 256kb/s is not my concern, as can do light surfing. It's the non existence upload speed, that is making sending whatapps with picture and photo a pain.

the thing on MR throttled spd is.....

 

during e official launch of their 3 mobile plan.....newspaper (ST) reported....

 

"Users who exceed their monthly data limit will still be able to connect to the Internet, but at a slower connection speed. Speeds will slow from 4G speeds to a range of between 384kbps and 1.2mbps, which the company says is sufficient for Web surfing or sending messages through apps like WhatsApp, but not enough to stream videos in high definition."

Zero 1 is consistent 1Mbps. With no issues with WhatsApp and etc. No lag for streaming and Spotify.
