Some Singtel customers reportedly had network problems with the telco since 21 September and according to downdetector.sg, there are still reports about network issues coming in at the time of writing.
There were a whopping 1,223 reports of network problems reported at 7.41pm last night alone, and as of 4.26pm, there are about an average of about 50 reports every 20 minutes, give or take.
A look at the locations of affected users on the map at downdetector showing that the problem seemed to be affecting users across Singapore.
Singtel issued a statement last night saying that they were aware with their customers having “intermittent issues accessing 5G and 4G mobile data”.
They updated their statement at 9.55pm saying that “all affected 5G and 4G customers” data services issues have been resolved”, before apologising for the inconvenience.
However, a look at downdetector’s reported user issues showed that as of 4.56pm today, there were 39 reports of network problems – which, to be fair, is smaller than the previous day’s high of 1,261 reported issues at 7.37pm.
