Hope that Umobile could constantly update their map of 4G LTE coverage, if not we don't really know if they are eagerly expanding the network or not...

You gotta check if the signal is bad (one bar or jumping around between 3G and LTE). If it is so, most probably Umobile doesn't do enough to close the gap.

My house is within 4G coverage.

Outside my house got 3G.

Hmm... I do hope that they could expand their LTE network more aggressively. There is still no LTE in my home town...

i think 2015 yes but 2016 ermm.... other telco 4G can up to 80mbps

It's a healthy competition, bro. At least Umobile is disrupting and others are thinking to compete for the market.

Not unlimited is alright, it's for the fairness for everyone. I don't wish it to be like the telco in Taiwan where everyone offers unlimited data and everyone just suffers from hogged down performance.

wait next year when umobile start using LTE 1800 band 3.
*
Not so fast I guess? It still needs to wait for the existing holders to reform and after that building and testing. Don't think it can start on the first day of holding the band.

Spectrum refarming starts from early this month and expected to done by 1/7/2017

That is only refarming exercise. Only after that they can start to build the 4G network.

Yeah I have been waiting for it but the map on the website seems to be quite out-dated.

They are mainly relying on Maxis infrastructures and local networking roaming with other network providers. I dont think they are building much infrastructures themselves and hence the poor quality of their network. But then again, when you pay peanuts, you only will get monkeys.
*
I only know if it's its own infrastructure, the speed is good even on 3G. But if it is piggybacking on other telco's infrastructure then it is a bit hard to control on Umobile side. It's more on the partnered telco's quality control issue.

You can stream at 720 but you will experience a lot of rebuffering aince the speed for video onz is capped at 1.5Mbps
*
I read somewhere that you can choose to stream 720p and above but it will consume the main quota first instead of the video onz

They are like DiGi last time. Coverage not so good. So need to attract people with promos. You will not see them be so generous once their coverage is the same as the Big Three
*
They will need money to maintain the network while continuing the expansion.

Any idea if Umobile has 4G network in Batu Pahat? The map does not seem to be changing much since the last time I check it.

There's two possibility if certain area is not covered by 4G LTE right now. Either they had turned on 4G there but not stable enough or they really doesn't have 4G LTE there.

It is year 2016 and we are embracing 2017 in a few months time, and 5G is coming much faster than original anticipation, but LTE network of umobile is just taking its own sweet time to expand?

Batu Pahat is not very ulu town some more. mad.gif
