im using Maxis One but so expensive rm128, 2GB only but unlimited calls everywhere. But nowadays with whatsapp and all...so rarely talk over phone right?  So i think i'm paying too much for Maxis lah tongue.gif

I find that Maxis 4G LTE is quite ok...but very interested to change to U Mobile. Reading here, U Mobile LTE is getting better but is the LTE be at least on par with Maxis?

Appreciate some / more thoughts on this.

thx

in my experience, Maxis's LTE is better than the others in terms of speed and coverage. U Mobile only have agreement with Maxis for 2g(throughout Malaysia) and 3g(for places without U Mobile 3g signal).

You should buy a power prepaid sim(basically prepaid sim), reload 10 to get 1gb free data and see if its 4g speed suits your taste biggrin.gif

KL area so far so good, no LTE, but 3G not bad.

Misleading comment. U mobile does have LTE network but coverage quite limited. You will need to enable LTE before riding on their LTE network

Generally Maxis had better LTE coverage but U Mobile LTE had a better speed

To be honest, when u get 10mbps and above, it doesn't really matter much for normal surfing or even watching 1080p videos. laugh.gif

Note that U Mobile has a one-off Advance Access Fee equivalent to the amount of the package u subscribed (if P50=RM50), when you port over.

Thx for the comments but might stick to M for now, since I've been told that we need to pay rm300 deposit for U roaming, and U roaming service overseas is not very comprehensive yet (but still expanding as we speak).

I just wish M will have more offers to make it a bit cheaper.

Actually they told me, once you use for 6 months, then you dont have to pay the RM 300 deposit....

Umobile started slowing down abt 2 mths ago. Since Aug it is nearly unusable between 10am-1pm and 8:30pm-12am. I've complained to Umobile, they called back to say that they are upgrading their system and speed will be better in 3-4 months time. I will cancel my account after this month and try a Hotlink prepaid account.

I'm a postpaid customer in the Old Klang Road area, using the Umobile ZTE MF65 mifi. If you really want to subscribe to Umobile try out their prepaid for a week first.
