Surely they won't turn on Band 8 LTE for all the cities all at once? I'm expecting them to roll it out in stages.

Not free. Have to buy add-on for this kind of specialised data.

Yes.

What does Digi's 900MHz LTE cell tower ID format look like, do you know?

Different network apps give me different looking formats, very confusing. Network Info II says my current cell ID is 7066214, and LTE Discovery says I'm on 006BD266 (and is on Band 7). Doesn't really tally with the table on Post #1.

Anyway I'll try making sense of it when I see new cells in my area.

Ambassador 0 available?

Anyone else got the following SMS?
I received this this morning.

GPS has nothing to do with which carrier you're on. Are you sure what you're seeing is a "no GPS" problem?

That's not GPS then. That's just location services, of which cellular and WiFi can also be components along with GPS.

What he's experiencing is probably not "GPS error". Just slower to lock on, that's all. The GPS satellites are not controlled by the telcis.

On 22/7, have finally seen LTE 900MHz in my area in Penang. However, the internet is very slow when on Band 8. For example, when I'm updating apps on the Play Store, it's extremely slow until I step outside the house or go upstairs to get Band 3 or 7 LTE.

One thing I found, a prepaid account in the house wasn't allowed to latch on to the B8 frequency. Only my Postpaid 110 was allowed access. Looks like they're not ready to roll it out to everybody yet.

This was my experience this past weekend:.

Postoaid 110 {on OnePlus 3T}: suddenly Band 8 on ground floor of house. If go upstairs or outside, then switch to B3 or B7. However, since Monday, B3 and B7 back to normal strength, and B8 only appears in a few blind spots which previously would drop down to H+.

Prepaid Best v4 (on Samsung Galaxy S4}: B3 only downstairs, B3 or B7 upstairs. When try to force to B8, get the No Service symbol.

It could be that Digi LTE B8 is still in testing phase at my area.

Not too keen on bringing the Prepaid SIM card over to my phone as that account is not mine. Also, my experience is that it's a pain to fit back a nano SIM to its micro SIM frame. B8 LTE is not a big issue to me as B7 and B3 LTE is reasonably strong in my area.

Well since this weekend, the network is ok with Digi Prepaid getting on to LTE 900MHz. I guess Postpaid got the priority earlier when it was still under testing. All's good now.

Give the link where it mentions this?

Call them up loh. Personally I wouldn't be too excited about a mere fast food voucher.

@prosibu

At

N5.41764 E100.3309 (downtown Penang)

it seems not possible to get 4G+, despite being in the middle of town. Almost always get 1800MHz LTE, no CA and never gets 2600MHz LTE. Is there a reason why this area is a blindspot for LTE CA? Even my home area in the suburbs is better as getting 4G+.
