Just to add to your good post, afaik, a 4G LTE cell tower has a range of up to 3 miles/5km for Internet data and up to 10 miles/16km for voice calls/SMS. If you are out of this 3 mile/5km range = can't connect to the 4G LTE network for Internet data. Most 3G./4G cell towers are located in city areas and along main roads and highways(to cater for car navigation apps like Waze). The closer you are to the cell tower, the faster your download and upload speed.
....... So, when checking the celco's 4G coverage map online, make sure your location is within 3 miles/5km from the covered areas shown.

On your smartphone, after subscribing to a celco plan, you can check the 4G cell signal strength by going to >Settings >System >About phone >Status > Signal strength. Best is around -60 dBm; average is around -100dBm; bad is around -140dBm.

A 3G/4G cell tower can only service a maximum 60 users at the same time or simultaneously = cell tower capacity. It's a 1st-come-1st-serve basis. If 100 users are trying to connect to the same cell tower at the same time, only the 1st 60 users will be connected while the other 2nd 40 users won't be able to connect = gotta wait-in-line. So, network congestion happens when there are too many subscribers and not enough cell towers in an area.
....... OTOH, voice calls/SMS have priority over Internet data = hence, web-surfing and video-streaming will sometimes be temporarily interrupted/disconnected for 1 to 2 minutes = 4G LTE is not suitable for online gaming unless you use a packet-loss prevention VPN-like non-free/paid service.

4G cell signals are line-of-sight and can be blocked by walls/buildings, hills, dense trees, heavy rain, etc. 2600MHz is more easily blocked than 850MHz. UMobile is mostly using 4G LTE Band 7 = 2600MHz. So, for better cell signal reception, UMobile users should have their mobile device facing outside, eg not behind 4 walls in a small room or in the basement.

Normal 3G speed is about 1Mbps. Normal 4G speed is about 20Mbps. The latest 4G LTE-Advanced or 4G+ can normally give  about 100Mbps. Malaysian celcos are in the midst of upgrading their cell towers to 4G+, eg Digi and Maxis. For most people, they don't need 5G, ie 4G+ is fast enough.

Just lodge a report to Umobile, they had shutdown 3G services and those phone without VOLTE will have issue receiving calls if you are on a 4G network. you need to switch to 2G Edge to receive calls... so bullshit

They finally shutdown 3G.
Was supposed to shutdown for sometime.
