Worst case is to switch out so I was looking at Starhub or Giga as alternative.
Of course the simplest way is to just switch off 5G and use the 4G service. But so strange for a tiny island on a 5G implementation, claiming full coverage yet it's just sounds good but doesn't work.. just like they can tell you train service had more major breakdown (after covid lockdown) but service index improved. Lol
Cheers.
Excused me. What us 4G 5G and future 6G. What is expected of each new ascending XG? Is it just the speed znd coverage? I don't see/feel any difference. What is the significant difference? Can enlighten?

In theory, 5G is 10 times faster than 4G and can hit 1000m/s. In practice sense in Sg your 4g is pulling at about 30-70m/s and 5g typically at stationary is pulling 300-600m/s. 6G likely even more instant.
5G allows automation and remote control easily. So you can have automatic vehicles, ports etc. Workers can be in Aircon office controlling a machinery at a dangerous worksite etc...

In fact , some states in USA already on 5G for home users. One of my American friend using it currently.
BEST part there is no cap , unlimited also can test drive for one week than you decide want to sign or not.
But honestly speaking somehow ' overkill for home usage " 5G is more for industrial like what you mention.
For an example I still on 500mbps from Singtel is good enough. They keep pushing people upgrade to 1Gbps which I don't feel is necessary and as usual if you upgrade = pay more for it.
One thing is " if " Govt again force people upgrade just like 2G, 3G no more it take lots of times also expenses.
Industrial side also need to spend for upgrading , no doubt so call Govt will " sponsor " end of the day remember NOTHING IS FREE IN THIS WORLD.

Whatever. Enjoy your 5G. 4G ought to be enough for most people.
Beware of imposter and trolls!

I'd expect 5G coverage not to be good as telcos are just rolling out the networks. I definitely won't be the first to try 5G since it'll take some time to iron out all the issues.

I went to a Starhub shop and the guy told me it's all the same for the telcos all having this issue. So the only workaround is manually switching from 5G to 4G; which is dumb.
I'm on Gomo and I asked them if it's different from Singtel and they kept assuring it's the same. Was thinking of switching to Starhub or Giga...
why 5g when you are talking about whatsapp and msg. 3g can already serve you well.

Ask Gomo Singtel why their 5g service cannot connect, doesn't switch to 4g to complete simple stuff like WhatsApp msg and calls lor... Lol
I also don't get it why..
