DPI will reveal if you're tethering or not by reading the flags in your packets. It searches if you have DHCP enabled and if yes your traffic will be counted as hotspot.

Infinite 80 = Unlimited 5Mbps
Infinite 100 = Unlimited 10Mbps
Infinite 150 = Best effort speed + no restrictions to tethering.

Taken from their OFFICIAL T&C page

https://new.digi.com.my/tnc/postpaid-infinite

Officially its stated 5Mbps speed with 5GB hotspot quota.

If they want to they can revert back to what they mentioned officially and there will be no dispute on that unless they update their T&C.

It is not old news.

The i80 which people are mentioning here is actually i100 plan with RM20 rebate for 1 year offer.

Why do you want DiGi Infinite 80? It's capped at 5Mbps only just like Telco U's GX50 which is much cheaper and now improved Advanced network.

DiGi Infinite is giving promotion now Infinite 100 now with 12 months RM20 rebate. Pay for Infinite 80 but get Infinite 100 plan. 20GB tethering with 10Mbps speed.

No its not.
Its not stated offcially in their TnC.

Purchasing anything more than a CAT 4 LTE-A certified device/modem is a waste of money at the moment.

45Mbps is inaccurate. Effectively the full max you can go is 80% of 50Mbps with overheads involved with packets.

What's the use of getting 100+mbps speed results when real world download and surfing performances can't keep up?
You'll be lucky to get 10-30Mbps with nearby regional SEA servers with Infinite during peak hours and weekends.

LTE-A 2CA inter carrier is still very unstable in Malaysia. I almost never see my Snapdragon 800 series phone connect to 4G+ maybe not even at the count of my fingers despite living in the middle of KL.

Yes, VoLTE and 4G+ signals are intermittent and still unstable at the moment. The only appear once in a while.

It has always been blocked to prevent P2P except for some essential ports.I'm not sure how they were opened but it was not supposed to.

Thanks for your kind compassion but it's really true statement out of heart. Real world speed performance during peak hours (8pm-12am daily), download speeds are just slow due to the mobile carrier having to conserve for its LTE network.

Speedtests results are just superficial, try streaming a 720p or higher reso video from some Europe/US server and tell me your experience.
This is where fixed line cable networks prevail with their low ping times.

Oh and by the way sis, its not the brand that matters. It's the CPE/ME radio chipset inside the phone/CPE which matters most.
DiGi's LTE network is ZTE/Ericsson by large. You want excellent seamless connectivity, find a modem that uses ZTE chipset.
If its Ericsson equipment in your area, you're best with Qualcomm.
As for your Huawei, it's best used with Celcom or Maxis.

DiGi's international connectivity is good for Europe by experience but when it comes to connecting to China, Taiwan and Japan or even USA it fails to compete with Celcom, Umobile or Unifi Mobile.

For some reason, UMobile connectivity to China is very good followed by Celcom. There is a growing interests in this segment and content.

Not possible unless because they're providing CGNAT. Also P2P traffic is highly discouraged on a mobile network where voice traffic is prioritized.It's not that they don't want to allow P2P, it's just that when this happens it risks itself from being flooded with too many connections which could cripple the network also used for essential voice calls and others.

That being said, even 5G still faces challenges to fully match fixed lines. The ping rates of 4G or even 4G+ has a long way to go to match fibre. This is very important for OTT based IPTV and on demand services.

16ms ping suggests its a very nearby server somewhere just within KL or Cyberjaya.

The thing is this, the content I usually access are hosted at Aliyun, Chunghwa CDN and Kingsoft Cloud. It doesn't make sense to select local servers to test my connectivity to China/Taiwan.
If the online content is hosted in say London, of course I would want to select multiple servers to London manually in Speedtest to test how good my ISP connects to that part of the world.

So far I find DiGi's connectivity is only good to Europe, which is no surprise their parent company Telenor is European.
For China, Umobile fares well because of its good connection with Aliyun, Jack Ma's friend.

Use China unbranded OEM modem. Cheap, highly customizable OpenWRT firmware and better chipset. No doubt only CAT-4 LTE-A but that is all you need at this moment with Malaysian telco networks.

Its not just the nationwide backhaul links which is congested. During festive holiday season, international links at the gateways is also congested.

Second and support your opinion.



By the way the v2 of the Tenda 4G680 is out. It even comes with a voip port which supports voLTE. You can get this modem for under RM300 if you look around well.
Comes with 3 years 1 to 1 swap. Best of all it's not carrier locked.

Brand is not important. What is more important is the chipset the modem uses, features and its warranty policy.

DiGi base stations and vendor equipment are majority by ZTE and Ericsson. For ZTE equipment/base stations, the most compatible chipsets would be from ZTE themselves or MTK. You can never go wrong with them.

How much you all want to go further?

Cat 4 LTE is rated 150Mbps theoretically.
20% overhead is a must. That means your effective speed is only 120Mbps @ 80%

People here saying they're getting 160Mbps. Intermittently yes due to sudden spike in transfer but that's not accurate.

Nope show me a continuous 5X of the same speedtest with an average of over 150Mbps at the same time. If that is possible then only you can confirm the network actually supports beyond 150mbps.

That's a glitch.

Nope still not convinced. Those results look suspiciously from some 300M/50M fibre plan from either Unifi or Maxis Home Fibre done on some regional SG server or something.

Use a more revealing test site such as testmy.net where the public can look through everyone's past results.

WiFi SSID can also be spoofed. You can change it in your router to anything B618, or whatever.

I wish those B618 scalpers will stop entertaining us by saying their modems can do fibre speeds in excess of hundreds of megabits.

Seriously to go this low and use fixed fibre 300M/50M plans and spoofing their SSIDs to proof their claims? Really this desperate?

Having a cell tower on top of your roof doesn't automatically entitles you to gigabit speeds unless you have direct access to the telco's backhaul metro ethernet WAN port to hook up your router.
You still will get the same account profile as other subscribers unless you have special staff test accounts.
