This my observation. Since wifey has Digi line for me to borrow and test out.

Between Digi and Umobile, I feel probably Digi has better network planning & network infrastructure than Umobile.
Hence the speed is better. But all telcos are not 100% perfect.

If Umobile needs to add an additional base station on top of their already multiple base station on 1 location vs Digi which probably has 1-2 to cover the same area as mine, what does it tell me? Poor infrastructure planning.

I dont mean to talk like a pro network engineer. Just so happen I watch a few Youtube videos on how Cellular base station works to have a better understanding.

im on Hero p79. supposedly no speed cap but...
if you are lucky to get 360p you are lucky enough.
my area no need cap - the Youtube stats shows that it cant even break 1mbits per second. thats for night streaming.

update: Just tried this afternoon around 12-1pm time, able to stream at 720p though i feel thats the max. data rate burst was around 1.38Mbps.

whereas Wifey digi with Unlimited video daily lite subscribed - even though says cap to 512kbps can do burst data speed up to 4-5mbps

celcom also not bad

Lets see if it gets thrown back to Umobile by MCMC.
You think they (MCMC) care? Keep us updated on what MCMC has to say, follow by what Umobile "sings" back at you.

For Hotlink, if you made the mistake, at least some "plead of guity" and they will refund the credit. (But only for first time offense). If you had talked to Umobile about it, maybe (I said: Maybe) you can get them to refund your credit for the mishap.

Before you start whatever "Jom, marilah kita ramai2 report SKMM" mass report thingie, think , this is customer error (regardless intentional or unintentional) , who's fault is it?

5GB for Rm 48, and 1GB of hotspot, you have been scammed by Umobile.
Sorry to say, for the price of RM 35 for GX38, you get up to 12GB (promo) hotspot.

Find ways to downgrade to prepaid, if Umobile allows.

The correct answer is - THere is no hotspot data for 4G. Hence thats why awee87 is unable to use on modem or 4G hotspot. Its clearly stated only for 5G.

Then like that ayam need to report to Umobile authorities
Haram ni... over exceed / abuse Hotspot quota given.
Let them know Umobile punya sistem got leaking problem

Then its quite confusing. Why would they use the word "Ultra Hotspot 5G " , the terminology "5G" is misleading. Oh well, this is Malasia. Cannot sue them for misleading ads.
And why would they need a separate hotspot data, if its not going to like - after depleting hotspot quota, your hotspot will stop.

Okey la, enjoy your fake 5G hotspot claims on your 4g phones. High speed means high speed. I still stand firm that For Umobile to claim 5g as high speed on 4g network is still misleading.
BTW Malaysia is also Tanah Melayu, okay? That one is legit for me to claim Malaysia is Tanah Melayu. Just as you want to claim your fake 5g as high speed. Good luck with that
