The main reason is the router is currently heavily subsidised. It cost RM1.2k on the market and the telcos (Celcom and Unifi) have dropped the price to RM499 (Penalty cost of terminating the plan) and RM599 RM565 respectively. Its like having a Ferrari Car with a Honda Civic Price.

Huawei B618 router was introduced last year February 2017, a 4G LTE Router which supports LTE of category 11 with up to 600 MBit/s in the downlink and 50 MBit/s in the uplink. It was introduced by Celcom and Unifi recently.

The device is square and quite “high” built, on the front there are various LEDs as well as a WPS button. On the back there is a power button, two RJ-45 Gigabit LAN ports (one of which can also function as a WAN port), as well as a USB 2.0 port. There is also an RJ-11 connection for an analog telephone or fax machine as well as the connection for the external power supply. Under one cover are two connectors for an external antenna. There is no battery for mobile use.

Huawei B618 Technical Specifications (from 4gLTEMall)

Inside the Huawei B618, there is a HiSilicon Balong 750 modem that supports LTE Category 11 (Cat11) with up to 600 Mbps downlink and up to 50 Mbps uplink. All key technologies for 4.5G LTE Advanced Pro can be found in the Huawei B618: 256QAM modulation, carrier aggregation and even 4 × 4 MIMO antenna technology there. The WLAN module allows the connection to a maximum of 64 WLAN devices at the same time and works in both the 2.4 GHz band and the 5 GHz band.

It works with LTE Cat11 and achieves data rates of up to 600 MBit/s in the downlink as well as 50 MBit/s in the uplink. Which LTE Advanced Pro / 4.5G features are supported exactly is still unknown, but in any case, Triple Carrier Aggregation is on board. This allows the Huawei B618 to bundle three different frequency ranges with a maximum of 20 MHz each. To get to 600 MBit/s is enough but not the same, as the 256QAM modulation controls the modem in the downlink. Alternatively, the support for 4 × 4 MIMO would be conceivable whether the B618 can do this, but is currently not clearly identified. The 3CA currently is not supported on any of our Local Telco (Malaysia)

The WLAN module allows connection to up to 64 devices at the same time in the 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz band. The maximum data rate is 867 Mbps (802.11 ac), the WLAN antennas are fixed in the Huawei B618 and cannot be exchanged.

In order to be "TERMINATED", u must pay it within one week. Or else, it will stays as "SUSPENDED".
The process of termination took 24 hrs. Please do Termination of Account (if you dont want to have any relation to TM after this) rather than termination of number
