5G congestion is real.

If your area no 5g coverage then nothing you can do. 5G is the same as it uses DNB infra. Find a telco with good 4g in the area you live

Where is the congestion?

If the complain is only at various spots such as Sri Damansara, then it appears to be a base station local issue ?

any1 can share umobile prepaid data roaming from the apps.
i remember they offer very cheap package for data roam.

Umobile no longer offer gadget sim. But can their fimilyshare line be used in router?

U Mobile U68 got an upgrade to data quota.
U Mobile U38 no upgrade.

.
Also, in the new T&C, ... b. You can use U Postpaid 38, 68 and 98 plans via various devices which include but not limited to smartphones or tablets (or dashcams, CCTV cameras, Android Auto, etc), except for routers, MiFi and USB dongle.
.
.
U68 upgrade from 300GB to 500GB per month = U68 tak laku.

U38 no upgrade, still at 120GB = U38 ada laku.

.
Video-streaming, eg Youtube videos, at 720p consumes 0.9GB of data per hour. If video-stream 4 hours daily = 3.6GB daily = 108GB monthly.
....... So U38 is more than enough for most smartphone and (4G LTE) tablet users.

OTOH, if you hotspot to a large 40" TV that requires 1080p for video-streaming = 1 hour consumes 1.5GB. 4hours daily = 6GB daily = 180GB monthly = you need U68.

If you hotspot to a 55" or larger TV which requires 4k or 2160p for video-streaming = 1 hour consumes 7.2GB. 4 hours daily = 28.8GB daily = 864GB monthly = you need U98.

Note that 720p requires 3Mbps; 1080p requires 5Mbps and 4k/2160p requires 20Mbps.
....... And during peak traffic hours between 8pm to 1am, esp on weekends (= 4G/5G network congestion), nearly every U will get only 1Mbps to 3Mbps. This is me speaking from experience - GX55.

Now peak hours the throttled has increased to around 20Mbps

.
Depends on location. If urban areas, peak traffic hours = most U users will get only 1Mbps to 3Mbps.

What is your location.?
.

Nearby hill area, Ipoh

.
Most of U Mobile's 4G frequencies and all of DNB's 5G NSA mid-band frequencies have poor penetration capability, ie cannot pass through hills = a large quadrant in your cell tower's location that is beyond the hill do not get any 4G/5G radio signals.
....... So, your location in Ipoh, even though urban, is not experiencing severe 4G/5G network congestion during peak traffic hours.

Most urban areas with flat terrain in the Klang Valley are experiencing severe 4G/5G network congestion during peak traffic hours because the celcos oversell their phone plans. Similarly for TM Unifi Home Fibre plans, ie oversold by adding ports.

Using UMI 30 many year ago, umobile sms this, what mean?

I also am not subscribed to any plans right now and got the same message. I check the app 10GB RM6 24hrs is called "Ultra Speed" right now, so they are renaming it to "High Speed"? I'm also confused how this will impact me.

WTA. Is there any benefit changing from unlimited power plan to 5g ready prepaid?

been using gx30+rm5 hotspot

has anybody successfully transferred their umobile esim to another iphone using ios "esim transfer from nearby iphone" function?

or compulsory to pay rm10 to generate new esim qr in umobile app?

thanks

5g sucks for all networks thanks to dnb and thanks to 5g broadband usage

Been using gx30/38 worth to switch to the postpaid? I tend to reach 100gb cause on yt a lot

Might even consider the U 65 but it's kinda overkill. Wish there is 40/50 pricepoint

anyone able to manage 2 umobile prepaid account under one login at myumobile app?

i tried to add another account in the app but it requires account number?

Doesn't U38 postpaid provide 120gb data?

Sticking to GX for now. Got rm10 add-on for uncapped speed for 30 days should I need it

It actually works my speed went to 8-14mbps lol
