Observing 5G network very closely, for the time being it's more suited towards backhaul than providing consumer access.

Just look at Terragraph in Penang, they are using it more to reach high rise buildings as backhaul connection then share the connection throughout the building using existing copper wired technologies such as Gigawire.

In USA, Webpass also provides similar solution to high rise apartments, but the end connection is using regular ethernet switches at every floor connecting to the receiver at the rooftop to distribute internet access.

My point is 5G deployments will be very costly to deploy. Vendors are heavily pushing this technology because it involves lucrative tenders which will amount to billions everywhere in the world. They're lobbying governments to buy into this idea because they would gain access into public funds from our taxes to waste on their utopia idea.

A highly connected world is a prison-like world. That day is not far away just like the idea of smartphones that we have today.

This entire 5G idea is a highly lucrative idea to grab public funds from countries. Indeed a very corrupted corporations behind it.

It's better we proceed with the fiberization plan because fibre technology is getting cheaper and saturated by the day. We have plenty of silica from the ground to make glass wires than to invest heavily in initial unproven wireless technology with billions.

We can do more with a mature and proven technology.

But why tmnet still refuse to implement fiber and even introduce 4G wireless ?
Moreover , charging stmyx price way higher than fiber ?

If unifi air is using B618-65d , in what SN number I can confirm it unlock unit ?
second , can I block any auto updates from B618 ? later they lock back.
If the location have Unifi Air and I plan to bring to other location , does it lock on certain location ?
Lets say state to other state ?

It should be just based on their TDD coverage.
So if there's coverage it should work.
*
The unifi air coverage is very limited , if it is out of coverage , will it use other telco 4G band as replacement ?

Hmm. Who said it's 30/10 for Infinite 150? I can get 150Mbps or more on my Infinite 150.
There's no capped speed for both Infinite 150 or unlimited RM 8.
*

Digi i150 + B618 at my new area have very good result. Test speed = 150mbps. hope it will maintain the speed.. biggrin.gif i forget to screen capture, later will share.
*
wow , 150mpbs .What about upload ?
QUOTE(fruitie @ Aug 20 2019, 09:05 AM)
Upload speed for Digi, highest is around 50Mbps, I got around 45Mbps. Like I said, speed is very area dependant. Everyone's speed will be differed.

Not sure if there's any quota, I guess no.
*
Now I can confirm the max speed is around 50Mbps for digi , the full speed on RM8 daily will be the same. I guess.
Before than I need to get a RM8 subscription and test at my area.

QUOTE(dark_axl21 @ Aug 20 2019, 09:57 AM)
There's a speed cap for that 8 ringgit add on but only after 20GB. After that speed is capped.
Suitable for testing if you have doubts for your area as suggested by Fruitie.
*
Download ? or upload or both ? yep test first before buying but non of mobile phone having 4G+ so i can't get a full speed 50mbps.
QUOTE(phaez @ Aug 20 2019, 02:19 PM)
Tried DiGi RM1 Unlimited for 1 hour, speed capped at 5mbps both download & upload.
*
download or upload ? and quote capped ?
QUOTE(GameSky @ Aug 20 2019, 02:46 PM)
the RM8/day is 20GB quota, no speed cap tho
*
Thanks for telling , but does 150 plan have quote capped daily ?

I150? 1TB quota

daily ? any quote daily ? 20TB ?
QUOTE(dark_axl21 @ Aug 21 2019, 11:21 AM)
Both upload and download speeds were capped at 0.5 Mbps after 20GBs I think. Even with 4G+, band locked with HManager.

But if you're just testing it for coverage and speeds it should be fine. Don't think we can finish that all with just speedtests right?

Just to test network for RM8 but need to upload a lot consistently and cctv monitor.
