I think its no surprise that Unifi Prepaid and Postpaid is able to connect to Band 40 also, and with TM "highly encouraging" customer to use Band 5. You know why lah..
Only thing: Most phones cannot lock a band. Someone mentioned only Samsung can lock.
Well there will still be suckers whom thinks broadband is separated from phone line.
I can only suspect one thing: Unifi supplied - ZTE modems - Have their ROM custom made to lock to only Band 40 . I maybe totally wrong.
Its very normal for telcos to market and sell Broadband plans , more expensive than normal phone data.
Like example:
Yes 4G Broadband - 70GB costs RM 68
But Yes Postpaid - 100GB costs RM 49 (and its hidden FAQ states that it can do hotspot no restrictions)
Hotlink Prepaid - Rm 35GB onwards, with RM 5 hotspot add on = RM 40 unlimited with 50GB FUP.
Maxis Broadband -
RM 108 / month unlimited. FUP unknown.
Maxis Postpaid 60GB -
RM 128 / month
