Hi all,

I purposely purchased the sim and data pass and test it by one by one from the same device,
My location is PJS 9 Bandar Sunway, below is the speed test result I get under 4G from Maxis, Celcom and Digi:

Maxis: 67.85Mbps Download; 5.55Mbps Upload - Ping 22ms
Celcom: 26.91Mbps Download; 1.49Mbps Upload - Ping 17ms
Digi: 11.77Mbps Download; 3.60Mbps Upload - Ping 25 ms

I wonder why Maxis 4G speed is so much faster than the others.. Like almost 3-6 times faster?

Note: All tested under prepaid sim, tested by same location and same device

Lowyatrian, welcome to post your speedtest results under 4G network from either Maxis, Celcom or Digi at your area.

Latest update: Maxis now come with LTE Advance / 4G + first in Malaysia

Hi All,

I just managed to contact Maxis customer care and enquiries about this 4G LTE issue, and the Maxis staff advised me that they are on the first phase of launching LTE Advance/ 4G+ at klang valley, and Bandar Sunway is one of the selected location..while the other telco is only offering 4G now. However, it is still under testing period now.

No wonder the speed is so much different ...

Do note that Celcom has lesser ping.

5ms much wow

same server?

i oni use celcom burung hantu, okay la for gaming and download.

too bad parallel download not so good.

But much a very small different right..
In term of ping I will say all 3 telco almost similar..

It is not like 40-50 ms Ping compare to 20 ms Ping

I guesss the number of users simultaneously using also matters.
I'm in KLCC and digi can achieve 3-5 Mbps while maxis barely 1 Mbps. Hence i keep my phone on 3g,which is often faster. I suspect a lot of people are already migrated to 4g in this area, leaving 3g more accommodating.

Yup, all same server under same phone and tested by same app
My Celcom Sim is Burung Hantu Sim with 1GB monthly data as well. Haha

lol are you sure. post screen shot. i regularly get 30mbps from maxis in this area.

Yup, I think numbers of users could be one of the reason as well..

Maybe it happened last time during downtime..
Can try to turn on 4G now and test again

well, to test my theory has to be another day. right now, too many people have gone home (my office almost empty). due to obama said to be coming this way, my office let people go half day.
will try on Monday.
by the way, how to attach pic from mobile? i can take a screenshot of the test result i did on 20 Oct 2105.

You can print screen, and then click on reply, and you may choose to attach the picture at the bottom

Maxis said it could offer customer a promise of 20Mbps of speed 80 per cent of the time, currently double of DiGi's own promised standard of LTE delivery.

Maxis claims that its -98dBM signal is far better than DiGi's -100dBm, even bragging that its speeds would ensure zero lag on YouTube videos

thats actually have some sense in their opinion , if you work in that field you would probably know it .
it means that maxis regards quality of service much higher than digi .
they take in consider signal quality and signal strength , while digi at the other end probably cares more about how much their marketing can boost about the large coverage area..

U can't do comparison of 4G speed at one place only ler, try doing test on different sites..
Confirm you will see different speed readout.. lol..
Did my test in Kuantan & Muadzam Shah - Pahang, maxis data suck and only Digi & Celcom is usable.. lol.. For Batu Pahat - Johor, maxis data suck oso and Digi, Celcom & Umobile is usable..

try out different area

maybe in Klang or Banting

Haha. 1gb enuf d to stay activer for 1 month. at night grind till 100gb or more. (Y)

Here goes my first try... Hope this is the correct pic
Tested maxis 2x, digi 1x on 20 Oct. Later on retested digi at night got 13+ Mbps.
