Marketing gimmick only la..
Give so much data but restrict the speed to 3.5Mbps.. Streaming services such as Netflix Youtube Fb all slowpoke. Other category didn't test.
Here is my speed test result.

Fast.com


Speedtest Auto Server



888GB Plan


Now back to normal data plan, speed all much much faster than before.

Yes SA is supported but people on cheaper postpaid plans and prepaid can only access it via NSA.

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.

congestion

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.

Set it to 4G, and pray to God that U Mobile ULTRA5G will reach Kuching soon

Just trying to understand. Why doesn’t your ZTE show which 5G band?

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

omg, our 5G menteri handed umobile the much coveted 5g license.

That why they offer unlimited data to Sabah and Sarawak they know their coverage are not fully covered

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

n78, n28 and B28.

B28+n78 for NSA.

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

UMULTRA5G is also accessible via roaming

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.
