Yes. Video streaming includes Netflix, iflix, Astro Go, HBO Go, YouTube and more.

For U Mobile, as long you see there's a Video-Onz included in any data plans, then any video streaming activities will be throttled to 1 to 1.5Mbps, in exchange with either unlimited streaming data or dedicated quota for video streaming. (That's how U Mobile attract customers 😎)

Prepaid GX30, unlimited data but speed cap of not more than 3Mbps. You'll only high speed possible when you tether hotspot, which it has dedicated quota for hotspot, which is 3GB.

Contact U Mobile that you want to deactivate Video Onz, so any video streaming activities (YouTube, Netflix...) will consume the base quota of the plan instead. Can try to see if it works.

What offers are you expecting from U Mobile?

I think you just file a complaint to MCMC about this.
https://aduan.skmm.gov.my/

Mention it in the complaint description that, you've contacted the phone manufacturer (Nokia), and they say VoLTE and VoWiFi works fine.

It's likely that U Mobile may not support VoLTE for Nokia phones (I might be wrong), so that is something that the telco need to work on.
If you blame telco, telco will blame the phone brand. Then phone brand will blame the telco.
Both U Mobile and Nokia will keep throwing the balls to one and another non-stop, and you, the middleman just sit there waiting.

In simple words, as long it's a "GX" plan, then video streaming usage will be capped speed, make it able to stream in SD quality.
Also, any P2P torrent usage will be capped at 64kbps (according to T&C).

And, what you mean Konfem 48 plan? That plan no longer available as per checking on Yes website. Yes 4G no longer offer unlimited data postpaid plans, probably bcuz they scared already; too many users abuse the network/bypass hotspot block and perform excessive usage.

No need to change SIM card.

General consumers don't purposely read T&C. They want the information to be easy to digest and understand.
So when it says "unlimited everything", they'll take it for real, and then take action (subscribe it).
Many won't go and think so much, such as is there any speed caps/throttle? any exceptions?

You say it's gimmick, but then, it's a pretty successful marketing.
When the salesman approach you with a smile face, tells you this plan has unlimited data, no speed cap, then you feel happy for a while.
When you ask the salesman "is there a speed cap/throttle/hidden T&C?", then you'll see the salesman's smile fades away, suddenly the salesman don't feel that happy anymore to you.

Talking about sharing infra in 1 tower, I wonder if telcos shall consider consolidate all 3 telco tower's 2G network (Maxis, Celcom and Digi) into a single consortium,

After all, it isn't that cost efficient if all 3 telcos operates its own 2G network in today's context, so might as well share all of them into 1 tower. Like let say if this particular area has 2G coverage from all 3 telcos from 3 different towers/antenna, why not just consolidate into 1 tower/antenna? So it's like 2G network domestic roaming.

So that can fully utilise the 2G towers, and shut off those duplicate towers, and telco can refarm even more bandwidth for 3G and 4G.

Yeah. Quite a number of countries already shut down 2G network.
And since 2G users aren't much anymore out there, operating and power up many 2G towers and antenna nationwide wouldn't make much sense and profitable.
Telcos might as well consider have domestic roaming from 1 telco/tower instead.

For Digi Infinite, do you need any VPN to bypass 1TB FUP? Or Digi don't throttle your speed even after you used for more than 2TB?
For MaxisOne Prime, which VPN do you use to continue download/upload stuff after 1TB?

You may PM me to reply me.

How about DNS (like 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1)?
Can ISP see see what websites you surf to (although it bypasses blocked websites)?
For Digi Infinite, what's the throttled speed again? Any exceptions on certain websites/services?

At least there's a layer of blocking there done by ISP, which is instructed by MCMC eventually.
Shhhhh... just keep it to ourselves.

Whut?

What are you talking? Elaborate further pls...

Btw all U Mobile plans are 4G LTE enabled.

What phone you're using?
Have your tried insert the sim card on other phone, and see if issue persists?

Oh well....

With all those network congestion going on like almost anywhere, I wonder how this 2x hotspot quota could mean much to them...

True also...
Most importantly, you guys would stay at home.

Ermmm I won't do that if I were you.
Calm down first. Then write an long essay about your issue faced, then submit to MCMC instead. Make sure it is detailed enough.
Let them handle the rest of the job for you. https://aduan.skmm.gov.my/

Sometimes they take it seriously too...
At least if file a complaint to MCMC, there's a 'concrete' record/evidence in their system about your case.

Even when MCMC says, telcos must not indirectly charge / burden the customers for the penalties, how far can we or they make sure that happens?

So are you saying that, there's no other better way to solve this issue if the complaint isn't being dealt properly by telco?

Damnnnn...
That is so insulting (to the telcos), but yet so damn true 😥😥😥😥
Indeed, a harsh lesson that goes "There is no such thing as loyalty offer unless you want to terminate/switch to other providers".

Of course they would suspect something... It's a matter of they want to take action or not only.
If they make noise, later customer say, "I thought GX68 plan is an 'unlimited' data plan? Then why make noise when I use too much? I pay for the plan as advertised."

Hmm, try 1TB and see how la.
