vomit blood seriously. At place was stuck with 4G 1 bar, cannot surf at all. Since it is stuck at 1 bar, it also does not switch to 3G or so automatically. End up need to manually set to 3G just to surf. wtf.

Thought they have invested into the improvement plan a few months ago? The network quality is still bad?

At least for me.

Just now switched to 3G at the place with bad coverage of 4G can surf. Then come out to more open air place, 3G got strong coverage then cannot surf at all. Need to switch back to 4G in order to surf.

Really bad experience for such inconsistent internet connection even at day 2 of usage only.

Lucky it is prepaid and not postpaid, can terminate or MNP anytime easily. I think for postpaid, unless one is signing for maxis or Celcom which are known to be reliable, others better stick to prepaid for trial and error first. This is why I am hesitate to try the unifi mobile rm59 unlimited plan too since it has 12-month contract.

I think for anyone who is coming from maxis or Celcom and to switch to use u mobile will be hard to swallow the inconsistent connections.

I think they only did it in the northern region of Malaysia?

Places like Ipoh have a better signal, coverage than KL and also better experience than KL( speed, etc), the 1st place where I've noticed that there's LTE-A coverage too

What is the penalty for using gx30 on moded modem?

Blacklisted ?

.
For mobile or on-the-go use, UMobile 4G coverage nationwide is not as good as Maxis, Digi and Celcom but better than TM Unifi Mobile. This is common knowledge. Unifi Mobile does not even has its own 3G network = rides on Celcom's.

In my case, I have no problem web-surfing on 4G with UMobile postpaid GX50 because I use it as my home Internet, replacing the more expensive and slower TM Streamyx fixed home Internet. I get full 5 bars 4G signal reception most of the time at my house which is close to a highway in Klang Valley.

In densely populated areas and along main roads and highways in the Klang Valley and other city areas, mobile use on UMobile should be OK, ie not OK if in the suburbs, small towns, kampungs or rural areas. Where do u mobile at.? .......

.

expanding it’s 4G network across Malaysia. They have added many new
3G and 4G sites. ulu kampong already have umobile 4G

the problem likely at internet gateway @ wide highway but trafic jam at tool booth.

What U mobile want to test?



Come again, PUSH MESSAGE, push

Worse than maxis or Celcom, this one of course needless to say as this is a known fact. That’s why I said for anyone who is currently on maxis or Celcom should not jump ship to u mobile as it is a big downgrade. This is my point based on my own user experience.

Given the fact that u mobile cannot even compete with yes 4G. It may not be true that it is anything better than unifi mobile too. I have yet to use the unifi mobile unlimited rm59 plan but I did use their prepaid bebas plan before, the coverage is not too bad, somehow close to or similar to yes 4G in terms of coverage. I highly doubt that it will be worse than u mobile.

I understand that ur personal user experience and u use it for fixed line broadband replacement and it is good for u then. however do note that majority of people are having unifi or other fibre broadband at home too and what we need is on the go access. if a mobile broadband is only available or good at fixed points, it has no different as fixed line broadband only.

at least my experience is bad on u mobile for sure, whether is it good for others, it is up to them to experience and what I did is to share my personal experience, u do not need to defend or get affected too.

For those who are good on u mobile, just continue. For those like me who have experienced the bad, can just move on. At least I already have a certainly better option which I have tested.

Dun think it is easy to get blacklisted unless u really have good speed at ur ‘fixed’ locations. At least for most I believe it is not easy to exceed such much in order to get blacklisted. Even it is, it is a good thing since u really are the lucky one to get such ‘good’ speed.

Bro... is this your first time with UM?

More than 10 years or 15 years ago I used it before and that time I signed up a 20GB data plan which I could not even use more than 5GB monthly becos the coverage and speed were simply too fxxk up. Then I switched to maxis and Celcom since then.

Then now I saw that they have cheap rm30 unlimited like yes 4G so decided to give it a try. However, the speed and coverage again disappointed me which I am now streaming the YouTube video at 140p inside one of the oldest and popular shopping mall. Even web surfing is struggling very jialat. To me, it is totally not acceptable which I had zero with yes 4G with 720p and 1080p video streaming within the same places I am using u mobile now for the past one month (I also first time used yes 4G). I know they limit video streaming to 480p, problem is I am now having 140p and even just light web surfing for Lowyat forum is also so difficult.

Think I will just forgo the rm40 spent on this u mobile Sim pack and GX30 add-on and switch back to yes 4G immediately tmr.

Rather not to vomit blood than continue to use it.

Lucky that it is prepaid and not postpaid.

Even 140p it is spinning non-stop and not even loading... faint.

Now I really learn the meaning of “ if it ain't broke, don't fix it”.

Lolz..
What they thinking..
Should done in KL instead...

Ipoh how many users vs KL/Selangor...
U needed to invest & improve where there's huge population.. then only can make $$$..

U Mobile is crap in Penang.

I heard from my cousin that Ipoh got more people using Umobile/ digi and hence why maxis/ celcom coverage is bad

Maybe not true.....

Totally agree with you. UMobile is just "shitty". No real reason to switch over now especially you have cheaper alternatives with longer validity for prepaid. For postpaid, even if they give you unlimited data, you won't be able to use much because of the irregular and unreliable download speeds. Once I get rid of the balance few hundred ringgit of credits on my prepaid card then I'm porting out.

I see. Glad to know that I am not the only one.

yeah. Indeed. I give up on u mobile totally no matter how cheap it is.

It's not cheap bro... If you can't compare to XOX or some other providers.

To be fair. Rm30 for unlimited data, only yes 4G can fight. The rest without unlimited data is not able to fight even the price is low.

rm30 for unlimited data is indeed the best value for money price plan. just too bad, it is not up to standard.

Imagine if maxis or Celcom have such plan even with capped speed like u mobile or yes 4G now it will immediately KO them. 😜

Hmm...
Even if everyone in Ipoh uses both Telco... I'm sure still cannot be more than those in KV area... I mean Ipoh population that big huh....

Anyway I feel one logical reason (my speculation).. VT have alot of relative / family in Ipoh.. thus to "save face".. UM must be tip top services...

Just like how suddenly there's 5G in Langkawi island 😒😑
