Depends your usage, if you are not heavy user on streaming video, probably you can got for p79 or p99. If you are heavy user, you better go for digi 150 inifnite

I am also on p70 out of out town really sux always h+ and slow.

Lol.. Still the best plan but too sucky recently. Last time it was ok.

Now i started to hunt for other telco plan.

My parents are using uMobile, pre-paid plan, and they complain that they can hardly get decent speed even the phone shows 4G connection, around Petaling Jaya area.
E.g. turn on waze and it just keep on searching and searching and failed or like use grab app but cannot find any grab driver.
Should they change to another telco for decent speed?

Use 3G, more stable that 4G

Can i check the itemised billing from the Umobile app?

that means congestion

You may consider Huawei B618 rm565 from TM, refer below link

Thanks man 👍 I appreciate it

Yes you can, basically it download the pdf billing.

Hi Acid Head,
Im using P79 plan now. and its plugged into my MIFI router as a home internet.
Im also a old time user of Umobile.

Recently moved to new place in Subang Jaya, and I tell you the speed at night starting 10pm onwards, is like morning rush hour on Federal highway ; very slow and sometimes cannot load page.

I also sometimes face cannot even load Youtube.
My speed? at night is below 0.3Mbits / 300KBits . (Base on Youtube's Stat For Nerds) . Buffering alot. Sometimes cannot even buffer.
I use an app called Cell Tower Locator and NetMonster to see where is the base station from where I am staying, Im covered by 3 stations. Still with 3 stations still experiencing slow connection. So i had to manually check the Cell ID from my router page and if I see its that "slow" Cell ID, I reboot my router.
Me and my children are heavy users of Youtube.

Previously when I was in my old house in another part of Subang, speed was fine, no issue.
To cut the story short, I have already filed a report to Umobile, and you will know whats their standard reply.
2 weeks later, no reply, and still feeling the bottle neck.

So now I am contemplating ; whether to stick to Umobile for a while or port out. I read that they are upgrading to 4G network but my MIFI is still 3G. But still its as though their base station is running on a small back haul pipeline. Akin like hundreds of users connect to these 3 stations but backhaul connected to 100Mbits fibre pipeline.

First of all, plug the sim card to a 4G capable phone and try it out.

U Mobile is terminating the 3G network sharing agreement with Maxis. That's why out of town coverage and 3G/H+ is going to suck in the near term until they expand their own network for some time

Yes exactly what i'm heard. Hopefully they keep going it.

I feel you. But I'm slightly lucky cos my staying place in segambut still in 4g, just that some other places that I experienced used be fast and turned became slow or lost connection.

Well why not you can change to other telco since umobile can't provide you the speed? If you concern about the price vs unlimited data, I can't recommend you much besides to sign the ISP.

Thanks, found it..I seem to hv an additional RM12 charge for the bill Feb and Mar, there is no itemisation,just listed as usage charge.
Im using P70 btw

yes. faced this similar issue numerous times. going outstation in JB, signal show full bar 4G LTE, but not even able to run youtube, very slow speed.

now working in Lumut area, full bar 4G LTE. speed is OK, able to run youtube even at 720p. eventhough mine is P50 which by right capped at 480

I guess every telco have specific blind spot at different location. But overall currently, umobile have a bad coverags compare to other telco.

Well , now they are extending. For another half year.

But even then I feel Maxis also is kinda stingy/calculative. The other day when I was in Cameron for holidays, I brought along my Umobile. And I also have my Maxis line as my personal line.
Sitting at one exact spot - Umobile tried to connect to Maxis signal, works for a while on H+, then drops back to 2G signal. And stayed there. Until I try to reboot my MIFI. Then only it can connect to H, but temporary only.
Whereas my own Maxis line - Stays on 3G permanently. What does this tell me? Maxis prioritize its signal to its own customer (yes I know, its business) first then only Umobile.

Well I hope Umobile is listening to every of it's customer screaming.
Update: Umobile just called me a while ago, to inform my pending case is still under investigation (coming to almost 2 weeks) . Well at least someone made a courtesy call (alhough she sounded kinda in a hurry) to its customer. So thats 1 brown cookie point.

Well thats why I am contemplating to either going DIGI Postpaid 80 plan or Celcom Gold 80.
Slowly surveying what other users have to complain or compliment about DIGI and Celcom.
While I see what Umobile can do about with the slow speed in my housing area.

I have Tunetalk prepaid as my data line (for personal usage and for Grab) and I am quite pleased with Celcom's network around my area and KL/PJ area.
In fact that's also my backup Internet for now, when Umobile in my home becomes irritatingly slow.

This is my speedtest using my backup Celcom line. 3G speed. Tested today 1:15pm. (Sorry I cant test 4G yet)
zher4883 - I will find a time when i can test Umobile with a 4G phone.



Pretty fast.

So it seems from what I see Acid Head in KL area and ayamxxx located in a smaller town - bandwidth issue with Umobile - unable to cope with extremely high users.
