cause an lte-a mifi or modem easily one have to fork out about RM500 (local distro) and above suggest that you test it first at you location first as suggested by our fellow forumers here..

buy a digi prepaid and test it using lte/lte-a phone and compare the speed of indoor and outdoor.. if you satisfy with the speed only then you can decide whether to invest on those mifi or routers or not..

Apparently my SIM will only reach tomorrow. GDex didn't pick up courier from my sister's company on Monday. Regardless I will set up later and try with my Celcom first.

I'm only got the e398 that you sold. Lol
Tried speedtest using my LG V10..but nt sure its support LTE-A or nt..the speed just barely 20mbps

Ya...LTE-A modem is quite pricey..quite dilema either wanna invest in LTE-A modem or nt..Haha

Which LG V10? If it's H961N, it supports LTE-A. I was using it. If it's H962, then it's not supported in Malaysia.

from gsmarena your v10 does support LTE-A just that I'm not sure it has CA support or not.. just like my phone though a cat7 and support lte-a from spec, there's no CA support does giving me about 20Mbps

I was using LG V10 H961N and confirmed it has 4G+. I was enjoying 100Mbps Celcom on it.
If it's H962, which is a TW set has no luck to get 4G+ here.

I see.. choosing phone variant is also like choosing correct modem/router.. another has support another none

Btw, whats the expected max speed for 4g vs 4g+ ?
Sometimes 3g hspa++ also faster than 4g , in some area, so its very confusing on this..
And some 4g modem support upto 100mbps dl n 50mbps ul.... but it is not 4g+ modem... so meaning i can still get upto 100mbps speed using normal 4g modem right???

mine not working..how come? i tried send sms out..not working lol

Btw anybody saw the stupid um hero78 unlimited data plan? They try to vs digi 150 but i think um mess up big time with this . Go check it out... unlimited with many quota n no this no that plan ... STUPID

i think umobile hardly to offer better quota.. later maxis smack them

Some explanation on LTE technology and modem tips.

LTE-A = Cat 6 and above.
Huawei E398 is Cat 3 (100Mbps)
Huawei E3276 is Cat 4 (150Mbps)
Huawei E5186 is Cat 6 (300Mbps) with dual carrier aggregation

Dual carrier aggregation is the combination of 2 cells in order to deliver higher performance. In layman terms, load balancing. If you are buying a new LTE modem, I suggest getting a CAT6 capable modem. But please make sure you can receive both 1800Mhz and 2600Mhz band first.

The performance still depends on signal strength and user density of the particular cell you are connected to.

You should be able to get better performance with a Cat 6 capable LTE modem if you already able to get 20Mbps on the E398.

Use MDMA to lock your E398 on 1800Mhz and 2600Mhz and see if you can receive both frequency.

wou...well explained...

Our 4G has no capability to run until 100Mbps. Usually 4G+ can.

Maxis maybe can. Last time with LTE, i got 96m speedtest and 180m with LTE-A.

Mine is H962 model..mind as well buy LTE-A modem to try..

blacktubi
tq sifu..i'll try to lock the frequency when i back. Btw, got any good cat6 lte modem for sell other than e5186??

my place digi only can connect to LTE band 3 but not band 7 even though band 7 available..can talk to digi cs about this problem?

I can only think of E5186 E5786 and Sierra AC790s currently.

Cannot compare... the thetering is capped and the speed is also capped at 5mbps

just want to ask, what is the last firmware update for huawei k5005/e398?

mine still at 11.433.25.00.000, planning to update firmware.. but dunno which is the latest one.
