Ultra 5G means UM own 5G infra but so far it's on NSA only they enable it using their existing 4G infra. Speed is good since it's not shared as DNB
Subang Hi Tech area is best to test it out

According to Woon, U Mobile will utilise 5G SA (5G Standalone) infrastructure from day one of deployment.

https://www.u.com.my/en/personal/deals/free...-time-app-users - Get 888GB Free Data
Exclusive for First-time MyUMobile App Users

How long is this Free Data available for redemption?
The Free Data will be available for redemption for 30 days upon your first login to MyUMobile App.

What is the validity of Free Data upon redemption?
The Free Data is valid for 24 hours upon the time of redemption.

.
fastdotcom is run by Netflix = it shows your video-streaming speed.
....... 3.5Mbps means video-streaming is limited by U Mobile to FHD/1080p, eg cannot do UHD/4k/2160p for large screen TVs of >55" or computer monitors of >19" or VR/AR goggles.

AFAIK, the free 888GB for 1 day can be used to download 4k movies, computer games, apps/programs, app/software updates, etc at unlimited speed, as shown by speedtestdotnet.

So, the free 888GB can be useful for a few new subscribers.

I saw it too but saw no point in subscribing since you can't even hotspot from it.

I literally live next to a big ass tower now, still... day time..

I don't think there is "real" 5G here? I'm literally at the middle of city now.

At night I might get up to 150mbps sometime.

Whole Kuching 4G congested, even Samarahan today.
Speed just hovering at 1-3Mbps, need turn on 5G for full speed.

Your ZTE did not connect to any 5G band (n78), hence the slow speed. Try moving around the router, preferably near a window.

umobile coverage really poor, specially at Sibu, Sarawak.
4G coverage terrible & limited
5G wider but not dare to try because once 5G down, will be no more internet since 4G coverage so limited and never repair the old damaged tower device.
so RM58 cheap for Borneo also cannot be considered as a home wifi, only Digi and hotlink more stable to use because 4G coverage better.

Instead of fixing their coverage problem, they offer cheaper plans to fool people into subscribing. What a way to earn money

I was away for over 1 month.

Now that I'm back, I noticed my Iphone 13 can get full bar 5G at home (previously 1 bar).

But at the same time, my Vivo X100Pro (CN ver) which previously can get like 4 bar 5G, now cannot get 5G (only 4G+).

Do u know what 5G band UM Ultra5G operate on?

Managed to connect to ULTRA5G at Abdullah Hukum LRT station.

DNB has a stronger signal here so you'd end up using DNB 5G more often

That's because your CN X100Pro doesn't support B28b/n28b, which U Mobile uses for ULTRA5G... so you won't be able to connect to ULTRA5G at all under NSA mode. Even if your U Mobile plan supports 5G SA, the experience might be significantly degraded when connected to ULTRA5G via SA mode.

You will see the problem more and more as ULTRA5G coverage is expanding.

Your iPhone 13 does support both B28a (which DNB uses)/and B28b, so that's why you get full bars 5G

Oh boy, this is going to be painful when choosing which phones to buy in the future. Manufacturers rarely advertise the specific type of 5G they use.

Phones sold through official channels in Malaysia should be gucci.
