funny thing is when in pangkor island, u mobile speed is much higher faster than hotlink ...

I port in 3 Maxis numbers (my family) into U Mobile (U28 plan) last month and after about a month, port out again. Somehow, the signal is poor, 3G is slow and LTE rarely available. 

This has been a bad experience for my family as they complained that the phone battery drains faster which I supposed is due to the poor reception. 

Now on Digi. 

when i was in pangkor a while ago, i am using hotlink while both my friend is using u mobile.. all 3 of us is under H+.. my hotlink can't hardly upload photo or video to fb while them two u mobile done it all in very fast time,..

it is common noe that u mobile's network is f*king slow.. my speed won't even reach 0.5 mbps constantly..

that was solely my personal experience,.

not sure whether u mobile own tower/basestation is using weaker frequency hard to penetrate indoor

if u go to gurney plaza, go basement food court, mobile internet will hardly move,.

So in lay man terms, UMobile should be faster but coverage weaker than big 3??

I've just started using Umobile yesterday and i notice my signal is always on H. H+ do occurs but rarely. Previously i was using celcom and i notice when im not using the phone it'll change to 3G mode. With that said, im worried as this might kill my battery life too. Does Fast Dormancy has to be supported by the telco as well? Another thing i notice, I tried watching Youtube this morning since got the free 2am-10pm streaming plan but fail to load because signal always at H instead of H+. Any comments on this? 

Wahhh piang. Unker baru port out of celcom becos horlible service. What is cheap and good like umobile ?

The only thing I like about celcom is speed. If can get full signal all the time sibeh untung(pic down below). But problem is more towards stability. It keeps tukar network state from 3G/H/H+. Full bar signal also suddenly boleh disappear. Walaoweyh unker Skype with gf potong stim betul. Not to mention 3g and H got no data coming in. Want use data must wait for H+ or else jgn harap la. They really need to improve their stability I feel. Also their OCS. Their web version is so lousy, some things can't even display whereas the mobile version displays all the key components and so on.. But use phone browser pay bill mafan la aish.
Overall speed boleh harap, tapi stability 4/10. Unker mainly use in setapak and shah alam

Does U Mobile have any long validity prepaid plan? There's a number I would like to keep but if there are no suitable plans then I'll have to port out to another telco that has a long validity plan.

Hope the Umobile can solve the poorer data issue. BTW, too bad they don't offer credit transfer for prepaid like Maxis and Digi
