Going back to my hometown in Perak during this new year holiday. U mobile's line does not work in my hometown here, internet speed only 0.4mbps ++ while another line of mine from other telco is having 20mbps here.

Are you having the same problem in your hometown with U mobile?

I feel like their service only can be used in some parts of KL and having problem on all other parts of malaysia.

u know what cause it slow? its because people around u or whole cities using Umobile.
these happend when people from KL / Selangor suddenly balik same place with negeri , cities , place same with u.
normally phone network discovery setting set as automatic.
if u want proper umobile connection. please set manually and these 2 setting will avaiable

1) Umobile 3G

2) Umobile 3G / 2G

default connection option no (2) but i advisaed u chose option no (1) .u will such amazing speed. rclxms.gif

if that place 3G Coverage not avaibale please switch to option no 2.otherwise u will see no signal on your phone. laugh.gif

many Umobile User dont know this trick.

this step are not same with restart phone. or pullout simkad and put in again.

U mobile internet is becoming worse. Starting from this year, I cannot use U mobile teetering to play online games on my PC anymore. Pings may go up to 800+ even when my phone is showing 4G. When it went down to H+, everything totally DC. even my phone cannot access internet.

Recently, even my workplace is having the same problem. I find the internet speed is slower. I this U mobile need to buff up the internet service for users and not just keep selling internet plans and thinks that is the end of story.

Cheers, sending pics through whatsapp also takes ages now. But for RM28/month, guess I won't be complaining.

> use umobile

> go outside spotty coverage areas

> complains about network speed and quality


my advise, just leave umobile. not worth paying cheap if you are unreachable when it matters.

3am - 1mbps

Morning - 150kbps

Evening -50-80kbps

Night - 200kbps

Free spotify so I don't change. But I will when they do. So it's for all user, not just yourself. I tried changing to 3G band but still the same.

I'm also encountering issues in Pandan Indah. The signal is really poor and can't even do a simple update of the printer drivers. As usual U-Mobile does not take complains seriously as when I lodge a complain it was working fine for a few days and after that it is worst than before.

I heard from my friend living in sarawak that celcom is better in sarawak, while other telco cannot use. I think the coverage differs. I use UMobile cuz its cheap but I live in KL so i guess it doesn't matter.

Do you know if UMobile Coverage has improved in the past year in Kota Kinabalu, especially Penampang?
I am planning to get a Phone Plan that comes with an IPhone. I travel a lot, and so far U Mobile is the best/affordable plan offered in Malaysia. However, I kept seeing rumours that the coverage isn's great.

Honestly, even within Klang Valley I feel that umobile is terrible.

Try Hotlink Flex, it's postpaid, super cheap and using Maxis infrastructure (yes I know it's Hotlink but it's postpaid)
