Yes, UM totally cannot game even though internet pages load just fine. Celcom and Maxis best when it comes to ping.

What areas is this.

I was getting about 35 mps this evening, same speed as my Hotlink fast somewhere near zouk.

In face, feel that UM has increased their speed recently.

Previously only could get 15 to 20 mps but last week and this, speed has been past 30 mps.

The speed test was test at Senai, Johor.

Senai no 4G issue for Maxis, DiGi & Celcom except U Mobile now, last time it was better than what you seen now.

From all the post I read here, you the only mentioned speed for U Mobile is increase, no one is getting increase but very bad speed. Maybe U Mobile only good in a very limited area then.

At this moment, cannot. Stay tuned

Honesty, I also found it strange that the speed test for my UM actually increased substantially. At my office, the speed was always around 15 to 20 most but this week, the speed exceed 30 mps.

But honestly, I did not feel that the browsing speed increasing substantially.

But I agree that UM coverage outside of major city centre is not good. Had no 4G coverage on the PLUS Highway and in Melaka.

The first image is FROM UM, exceeded 40 mps, second image from. Maxis, at same location and time.

the only suspect is they add a new site beside ur office.
Mind to share whr is ur office?

Dun forget to update ya

Well I suspect your area has been upgraded or something..
Added more tower or so..
That's why your speed higher than previously..

My office is near to Prince Court medical centre.

Yes, perhaps UM adds some tower nearby since its quite near to Berjaya Times Square which is their main office

May I ask, isn't it danger to have recycle number? Look at my example for explanations:

I bought a sim card with a number 012 345 6789. Then, I use the number to receive TnC code from online accounts like banking, social networks, email etc. Then, I forgot to topup because of some reasons(oversea etc). The number would be recycled, rite? If I didn't update my details maybe because I forgot or something, the new owner with the number 012 345 6789 can access my accounts, rite?

We would receive spam messages and gets charged just because it's a recycled number

I was also previously receiving TS for a number that I bought for my Filipino Maid.

It was tune prepaid. Was wondering how the actual owner can still use online banking if the code came to my HP

Yes. I got hear such case before..
Better change all info..

Provided the new owner knows your bank login info

numbers getting scarce...

recycling is normal practice by telcos..

When a person wants to register whatsapp, wechat, etc and use that number, they can not register because it has been used. This thing has given clues regarding access related to the number.

That's true, but u only need to click forgot pin/password and a new pin will be sent over to access the account. So, it is always gd to change to userid for what's app/ wechat.

Till now it has not been a problem to re-register a used number for WhatsApp, so long as you can receive the sms passcode.

New is 2FA, which I setup for mine. Yesterday I happen to reinstall my WhatsApp and now I need the sms passcode and my personal passcode. So I dunno what would happen if I let my number lapse and someone else gets the recycled number and wants to use WhatsApp. It seems they would be prompted to enter my personal passcode.

Extra privacy and security for us, but the new owner must say bye bye to Whatsapp

WhatsApp have good FAQ, will look into how they handle this one day
