I called CS asking.
She told me its per 10kb block.
Not 1MB block.

She even tells me it is impossible they will charge 1mb for a lets say 50kb usage.

yup, first CS told me is 10kb block

if 1mb really very high, imagine

1Mb x 100 = 100Mb
10kb x 100 = only 1Mb sweat.gif
*
Tested and confirmed they r charging using 10kb block.
See the screenshot.
The data usage recorded by Maxis is alMost d same as recorded by my phone data counter.
This will not happen if its 1mb block.
And if its 1mb block.
U won't see any data balance less than 1mb.

just switched to hotlink flex from digi around 3 weeks nw..
network quality, reliability and speed definitely way better than digi.

previously when using digi, esp at shopping mall or congested area, always showing 4G or H+ but can't use data at all probably due to congestion..
but maxis is doing well so far...

mayb can try select 3G/H+, less congested so able to use.

my prob wit digi is in shopping mall having 4G but can't use data at all.
still remember in mv few months ago got 4G full bar but data can't even use.
force my phone to choose 3G/H+, only able to use data.

so far Maxis no problem, smooth use of data even in congested area like malls,
mayb their infra can cater more users.

Will the existing subscribers get the additional YouTube data as well?
*
yes. will get the youtueb data.
in fact will get your monthly quota being refreshed as well.. rclxm9.gif

but both data quota seemed to be combined in apps.
the only way to check is through *100# where it shows seperated

I think free Youtube does not have the effect so much.

FYI, You can use Youtube data for Google Apps downloading or updating.

It's counted this way. Previously when they give free Youtube viewing (prepaid), they also deduct Youtube data when you update/download new google apps.

DiGi advantage is their Always Active validity which follows the Monthly subscription plan you buy.

Meaning if you top up only RM5 buy you already have enough to subscribe their RM25 plan through accumulation, your line validity doesn't follow RM5 which gives 5 days active period only, your line will be active following the monthly plan in effect.

Hotlink Prepaid is the same now for their monthly pass.

I still don't like Hotlink and Yes style of splitting up 4G/5G and pure 5G quota marketing.

It distorts the market making conditions worst because subscribers will tend to force use 5G in whatever means causing unnecessary congestion to the 5G network.

At least with 4G/5G unified quota without restrictions offered by both CD and Umobile, if a 5G network is congested in certain area subscribers still can offload to less congested 4G network for proper load balancing.

When you have 5G only quota split between 4G/5G, users will all prioritize forcing connect only to 5G and that will cause unnecessary overload to a 5G subsystem.

If you look at Celcom MVNOs right now such as Tune and XOX, their plans are really attractive now just with generous quotas. Their plans include single unified 4G/5G quotas and also fully hotspot friendly without restrictions.

The WORST is YES's plans. Claim to be fully unlimited speed/quota if you connect to 5G with very limited 4G quota. Then everyone who buys their plan all only want to force connect to 5G making situations worst.

i feel the same with you.
often you will find 5G network to be very slow, congested and high ping while 4G network is alright.
probably due to most ppl their phone network options choose 5G preferred.
but anyway, this is not supposed to be the 5G quality as they advertised initially. hmm.gif hmm.gif

they even choose Ericsson over Huawei and claimed to have superiority, but seem it is not the case.

for Yes, i think their aim is to decongest their own 4G network and push everything to 5G shared network.
as their 4G can be very congested at certain spot
