Yes, lately there are more occurrences of signal suddenly changes from 4G to H+ to E to R. That is why I select "3g only" most of the time (to reduce battery drain too). But the flipside is that when the 3g network suddenly unavailable, signal becomes "emergency call only".

how is 7 cent per 30 sec cheapest when it's 4.5 cent per 30 sec with yes?

Can anyone testify if UMobile has 4G network in batu pahat? I used to use it a few years back and its 3G network was good, was able to get ~15-20mbps with latency less than 35ms near Kampung Merdeka & Taman Maju, but not too sure about its performance now.
*
From U Mobile's coverage map, nope.

4G is a scam. Phone indicate 4G service but speed  slower than 3G and sometime will not even load.  Received SMS confirm 4G activated.

4G is a scam? Educate yourself before trying to humiliate yourself. 4G doesn't necessary faster than 3G if it's really congested but 4G had significantly higher spectral efficiency than 3G. So with the same spectral bandwidth, it can carry more data per second.

Hi guys,

Assuming my prepaid account has expired today, but I still have 15 days left of UMI30 left. If I top up 10 days later, will I still have 15 days , or 5 days of UMI?

Thanks for the heads up.
*
5 days of course

I think Umobile 4G account profile is capped at 50M(down) and 20M(up).

Anyone managed to break that limit during CNY?
*
U Mobile doesn't cap those speed. It's just that their LTE technical limitation is 75Mbps download and 25Mbps upload. There's are a lot of factors that causes those speed drop and those speed you got seems capped because due to technical limitation and not due to intentional capping.

Well we don't know what's the SNR value so we can't be for sure but if the SNR is around 20, those speed are extremely impressive.

Can you help me understand this SNR thing?
*
It's an abbreviation for Signal to Noise Ratio. So for SNR value 20 means for every 20 unit worth of useful signal, there are 1 unit of useless signal or known as noise.

That old technical limitation only is limited to Klang Valley. The recent 4G enabled areas such as Kota Belud are all now LTE-A enabled which can support upto Category 4 LTE-A which is 150Mbps?

U Mobile only had license to run LTE-A in Kota Belud and nowhere else.

Sure? But just days before CNY was getting speeds over 60-80Mbps. Now like suddenly no matter how many times do speedtest cannot break the 50M mark. hmm.gif
*
Probably there were testing LTE-A as they had license for mass deploy after July 2017 as the gain spectrum in 1800MHz.

I wonder is it possible to switch from Unlimited Power Prepaid to Older Power Prepaid. I'm pretty sure Unlimited Power Prepaid doesn't suit certain type of users. hmm.gif

Edit: Found the answer dry.gif

I heard some of my friends saying U-Mobile coverage is bad, even in KL area. Is that true?

Specifically where? I believe U Mobile coverage is acceptable in KL but their network capacity aren't on certain area.

Can someone confirm how much bandwidth Umobile has to spare?

I'm guessing 10MHz for 2600MHz band and 5MHz only for 1800MHz band?
Correct me as I'm just making a wild guess.
*
Assuming U Mobile is not using 1800MHz for 2G, they have 15MHz for LTE.
