Port to maxis? Please explained or suggest any worthy plan, might consider it and thanks.

Please read my following post. I stated in the following post (Bebas weekly capped at 10mbps - quite stable for all-day).
To me, 10mpbs is quite good already.
I didn't mean 80mpbs vs 30mbps is "CONGESTION" in my example.
Furthermore, I said "ONLY BEST", + "You won't know till you test it".

I already said this Digi i150 is ONLY BEST for those live nearest to the Digi cell tower. Even within the same "TAMAN" (a 3-5 minutes walking distance), you could see a great difference in speed.
This Huawei B618 might help boosting signal and a little speed. However, please DO NOT think it will help in congestion issue.
Comparing my Huawei e5186 vs B618:
I only see different in the very early morning - should be not congested (e5186 = ±20mbps vs B618 = ±25mbps).
e5186 - getting 4G signal 3 or 4 bars, speed is around ±3mbps in congested time.
B618 - getting 4G+ signal 4 or full bars, speed is still around ±3mbps in congested time.

Therefore, it should have nothing to do your modem. You MIGHT get a little speed boost though don't expect it like 20mbps. Still, it is depend on LOCATION.

Yes, my area just upgraded to 4G+ end of this April. My phone signal also show 4G+ but not always while the B618 shows constant 4G+ signal. Maybe, there is maintenance in my area as told by Digi CS until 13 June (since 20 April)
BTW, I already told you my connection speed in previous post (checked back my previous post, my connection in the morning seem better last time).
Look like it’s getting worse from time to time, maybe many more Digi users in my area.

6 more days? Do you really trust them ?
Let's me tell you mine : complained on 18 April (said upgrade solved on 28 April), complained on 29 April (said outage solved on 22 May), complain on 23 May (said maintenance solved on 28 May), and again maintenance (said to be solved on 13 June). Don't get high hope
SLOW SLOW WAIT YA
BTW, I do NOT see any difference in between this time, really maintenance etc. etc. ???

As I said this "Ookla speedtest app" shows UNUSUAL speed, and its PING is usually lower compared to other speedtest.
Yours may have no difference, but I believe many people here getting fake result in OOKLA "App" on Digi network.

4G+ Signal does NOT mean better speed on Digi network. Just like my location, upgraded to 4G+ signal, yet the speed is still same. Congestion is very noticeable. Coming this Raya should be much worst .
Yeah, I am NOT getting the speed like others, I just hope Digi would be comparable to this new unifi mobile at least consistently around 10-20mbps and PING is lower.
BTW, i found out that ONLY ON Digi network that this ”Ookla speedtest app” shows unusual high speed even during congested time.
Tested with Maxis One, Celcom prepaid, u mobile, & unifi mobile, these would show actual speed.

Maybe, it's 800+1800 that you get 4G+ signal. Not sure tho coz don't understand CA thing.
One thing for sure is this B618 is very powerful in signal reception

My band 7 has very bad RSRP = -116dBm (checked on phone)
Maybe, that's why my 4G+ signal keep going off on phone whereas this B618 gets constant 4G+ signal.

BTW, isn't that our new minister said "double the speed for half the price"??? Digi new postpaid doesn't make sense.

Maybe, it's not congestion as you said. Therefore, I wish you could explain so I know the reason why the ookla speedtest APP is getting higher speed (only on Digi network).
Today is Sunday, my location is very slow.
If my location is really getting speed of the Ookla (constantly at 15-30mbps), I'm very satisfied.
The last two pic tested with another xiaomi phone (xiaomi is better than Samsung).

BTW, I noticed my ping is getting lower since two days back (previously 200+ms).

Thanks for info, but I'm still not so understand.
Lemme tell u how my connection speed, so u could tell me if it's congestion or not.
In the morning, my speed could get +/-25mbps (any speedtest), fluctuates around 10-22mbps for download (like filehippo, download.com or steam)
From afternoon till night, speed get different result every time (1-10mbps on any speedtest except ookla app), fluctuates around 1-8mbps for downloading. Most of the time is below 4m

Nvm, i might discontinued this Digi i150 after August only if unifi mobile were to extend its unlimited data add-on. Can save money n I really don't need very high speed, but a stable connection.

I was told by the Digi CS that RLH is ONLY FREE IF we connected to selected telco in specific country. So, we need to do manual connection on our phone to ensure it doesn't change to other telco. Is there a way on "mifi" to select which telco we wish to connect?

Then, if I were to buy a mifi one day, I should go for the Huawei one.
Anyway, thanks for your answer.

Nowadays, we actually pay in advanced whether it’s postpaid or prepaid. For billing cycle fall on 16th June, we are actually paying for the period of 16th June to 15th July. As for this June bill, we already paid it on May except for the exceeding amount of the plan we subscribed. Thus, there shouldn’t be any GST for this bill if we did NOT exceed our usage, right? Why many people did not think of this or maybe people just unvoiced this matter?
No matter what, we just have to abide by the rule.

Rethink of it, definitely I'm wrong, Only prepaid is paying in advanced for Digi.
For u mobile, I pay in advanced. iirc, i pay twice at the time of subscribing and second month, and continuously after that.
I may have mixed them up. Or am I mistaken again.

I don't know that, is it just Digi or any telco is the same that prepaid to postpaid need 2months subscription?

Digi i150 = 1tb high speed data, capped at 5mbps after that still unlimited tho.

I was told by the Digi sale person that with RM20x6 rebate, we’re tied to 6-months contract. And, only for new line.
He also said if this RM20x6 rebate is still going on, we could change to prepaid and resign another 6-months contract for i150, still need to pay RM10 on the first month for stamp duty .
However, I’m not sure though cause I haven’t done it yet.

I remembered that I did it before changing to prepaid and then to postpaid 50 with RM10x12 rebate a few years back (done in an hour or two).
But, don't know whether there's any amendment to the rule as of now.

It's NOT just the infinite 150, all of the Digi network is actually getting worse and worse.
Since i150 share the same tower for all Digi users (be it prepaid or postpaid), all Digi users would get affected.
In my location, I could get 25mbps in the morning last month, now only 8-13mbps ( don't talk about the afternoon till night). And guess what, I was told my area had gone through an upgrade completed on this 14th June.
Stupid UPGRADE, it seems more like a DOWNGRADE.

Most people get mixed up, not on the first pages of this forum.
It's in fact on the first pages of this https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4557293

I think if Maxis network is good (acceptable speed with low latency) in "user" location, he/she may subscribe it even paying premium price.
Especially for those that have not much options, either take it or not.

UNLESS your premium price meaning x2 or ridiculously high price.

Every Digi number has an account number, you get auto billing 5% rebate only for ONE TIME on a NEW account number and it doesn't matter when you get the auto-billing. Hence, once you get auto billing you'll get 5% rebate x 6 months.
Furthermore, if you change to prepaid and then to postpaid again or port in from other telco, your "account number" will be a NEW one. So, you can get another 5% rebate x 6 months.
BTW, changing from postpaid to another postpaid plan won't changed the account number (no 5% rebate again by this way).
You could sign a 6-month contract with RM20 rebate x 6, and get auto-billing 5% rebate x 6 to further reduce the price of the Digi i150 .
