lol if shareable mati lorh umobile..

competition ramping up..

depends on the capacity. usual strategy is to have different frequency layer of cells from one tower only.

truth is, a lot of works involved if want to erect a new tower. need permission from mcmc, landlord, etc. even if the neighbourhood association is against it, then no tower for you la.

the P9 bundle got contract?

what's wrong with being Berjaya?

haha seriously i dun know.

probably coz i dun deal with them that much.

usually mobile planner will focus main city first, called 'metro areas' and expand outwards to the surroundings.

well, it's the responsibility of the user to check. in this case, it's hardware limitations & nothing can be done.

80mbps...which telco is that?

to be honest, lte standard defined by 3ggp is at least 100mbs downlink..

go figure.

this. unless u are directly working inside handling the networks.

coverage-wise, they are quite slow due to budget constraint.

(insider info), they can only install bout 700+ sites per year. this is projected figure.

their main strategy focus on somewhere else, customer experience & satisfaction, trying to create public perception that Umobile network is the cheapest. well they really do, but this cost them some catch up in terms of radio network infrastructures.

of coz that's obvious. for a newcomer, if they invest too heavily on infras, pay huge money to vendors for equipment & services, u wont get the cheap mobile packages like now. there are advantages of being pioneer like the big 3, where during their time the telco industry was not so robust compare to today.

so new telco need to be smart and offer something different.

there's always a trade-off between the two. but they are expanding despite the slow progress.

if u can bear with it, ok. if not, just port out. we got many choices now.

we tend to dismiss lots of good things just bcoz of some a bad things or two.

i believe Umobile not so bad, other telcos hv their own prob too.

maybe u wont encounter problems discussed here at all. best is to choose what suits and satisfy u.

what celcom is doing now is called swapping and modernization. they are replacing & upgrading their sites in klang valley with newer nodeb, bts and enodeb.

it's slightly different from coverage expansion.

dun know if can do at other branches as well.. but prepare RM10.60

how come show 4g lte but actually 3g modem?

i have bad experience using cut sim.. became unusable.

if time allows, recommend u to do it a proper & safe way by changing it to nano sim.

yup, correct.

but just fyi:

what i mean proper is at the network side. actually, the sim physical info/configuration is embedded into in the sim's chip. so far, it has no impact on ur access to network services (browsing internet, etc..).

the core/access network though will still recognize ur sim as maco/micro. for future enchancements, there maybe some features that will only support sim with true nano size one.

FOC also charge ma... I just switch my sim card to nano at Times Square ground floor.
