QUOTE(BBXiong @ Jul 6 2017, 11:23 AM) hi guys, just signed up for P78 unlimited hero, speed is quite nice for my usage, but I notice youtube app seem to be capped at a even lower speed. Anyone could verify this? advertised speed is 5mbps, but the average speed i get is around 2mbps. smooth for 480p youtube video. sometimes at stable 4g coverage area can run 720p smoothly also. anyway, this is the speed achievement of my 1st week mnp. it might drop after 1 or 2 months (from my experience of P70 1yr ago).

QUOTE(BBXiong @ Jul 6 2017, 03:39 PM) not quite the case I am in right now. I run speed test, and it works well, and getting stable 5mbps, i tried downloading some files from my house media server, i get ~5mbps speed, but when I use youtube and run a network statistic app in multi window mode, i see the speed hovering around 900+kbps ~ max of 1.4mbps, and it doesnt even exceed 1.4mbps at all. After that, I exit youtube, and run speedtest at the exact same spot, and I still get full 5mbps speed. Looks like for P78 maybe the VideoOnz is forced onto the youtube app and I can only have enough bandwidth to stream 480p yes, promised videonz quality is 480p. u may save n watch later if u can get the full 5mb download speed

QUOTE(BBXiong @ Jul 7 2017, 11:31 AM) yeah, problem is that I dont like how VideoOnz is forced on the plan, most people need unlimited internet for videos anyway, and limiting it to 1.4mbps max is kinda defeating the purpose. If I wan VideoOnz, i might as well sign up for their other plans. but meh, overall still think it's decent compared to my previous plan, where i probably bought like >RM150 worth of quota top up last month  Yeah, that is the price umobile able to offer now. real unlimited video streaming with unrestricted resolution not suitable for mobile and it also wont be rated so cheap compared to my P1 home package paying 160 per mth unlimited capped at 2mbps, P78 currently is the cheapest unlimited which u can carry on hand. although P1 has much more stable network connection But videonz is covering also hotspot and video download from the free stream channel

QUOTE(OzzyOzz @ Jul 7 2017, 08:37 PM) Then better infine 150 dont you think? With the right modem, everything unlimited including voice..hehe haha...digi postpaid was banned for the rest of my life d. i believe P1 has better & stable network compared to digi, because P1 network will never face congestion  480p is good enough for me on mobile while P1 can push 720p on my tv box. no point to watch 1080p on lousy 32" lcd tv

QUOTE(vostro78 @ Jul 8 2017, 10:38 AM) P78 user here. Actually I do hope that the apps can still shoe me my usage on data instead of show unlimited status. Or is there a way to show ? Dono why last time on celcom weekday 10gb I use only around 5 to 7gbmonthly but with same phone same usage pattern on uMobile my usage is almost 1gb a day. 1st time use umobile right? haha..umobile simcard will make your smartphone consume at least 10-20% more than other telco. why? ermm..i not professional nor technician but i think la because searching umobile/maxis signal lo. especially sit indoor with 1-2 bar H/H+ only. so by the time it keep searching, u will c the data is running (if your phone can show the up/down data speed) but nothing is refreshing in your app. try compare 2 same phones, 1 with umobile another with maxis then u know what is happening on umobile. u may switch both simcard if u doubt the umobile phone battery/software got problem  oh yeah, dont blame the phone draining battery overnight, its umobile fault

QUOTE(UN1T3D @ Jul 9 2017, 03:31 PM)  So many times we advise people to try out with prepaids first ... don't simply blindly mnp to here there everywhere just becoz of a good deal you're thinking it gives ... after mnp then only found out life sucks on the newly ported-in telco and start complaining ... sometimes I kenot brain how these people think ....  not every telco can do that, package to package, prepaid to postpaid, mobile internet to broadband internet... all telco has different limitation/restriction/allocation. like we cannot compare the speed of prepaid mobile internet to broadband internet package. 1st week/month/bill of activation sure u will received very good data speed, but after 3 months that is what i learnt from umobile and digi

QUOTE(Awakensoul @ Jul 21 2017, 09:33 AM) Max speed 5Mbps. 8 bits is 1 byte. So 5 Megabits per second = 0.625 Megabyte. So your download speed is effectively capped at 625 kb/s. If you download a 1GB movie, and your coverage is good while there is no congestion, and download speed can continuously cap at 625 kb/s, theoretically, it will take you 26mins max to download. However, in the real world + umobile poor coverage issue, it is impossible to maintain max 625 kb/s, so give and take 30 mins to 1 hour. ah..u forget to mention abt device performance. from my experience for 2 months & umobile agent told me when registration, dont expect download speed more than 200kb/s if using mobile phone for download

QUOTE(Awakensoul @ Jul 21 2017, 10:35 AM) Hmm really? I actually did test on Redmi Note 4. Open tether my UMI 30. Max I can see on my phone is 2Mb/s. Was using to download an anime on my laptop, so connect tether to my phone. As for phone downloads, I do get that speed when I update my phone app this morning. Saw it jump 2Mb/s each time. But of course, this crazy speed only applies to 7am use. Hahaha The worst thing is their network switching btwn H,H+,Lte is very bad, at least no improvement here in pg compared to 2yrs ago when i was using P70. U may get higher speed at Lte but u will miss calls if set to 4G only. Unless use in modem only. That 2Mb/s will not stay for more than 5sec  for me
