B7 has only 2 x 10MHz. It requires at least 2X as many base stations to cover the same area as B3. Running at 2.6GHz, it requires more power than even 2.4GHz ISM WiFi band.Investment wise, it is bad strategy for telcos to use this band.

B7 is technically useless for large countries which needs to deploy wide coverage.
It is only useful for in-building coverage and very highly dense areas such as SG or HK used to offload traffic on B3/B5/B8.

Instead of distributing mixed blocks for each Big 3 telco, its better to award large chunks of blocks for each band to each telco.

Example:
2 x 30MHz for B3 FDD
2 x 35MHz for B5 FDD

1 x 60MHz for B40 TDD

etc.

Waterproof outdoor 4G CPE with PoE adapter
https://www.lazada.com.my/products/waterpro...4017518801.html

So you can mount/install your modem outside your house, pull along Ethernet CAT6/5E cable into your room and indoor socket to get better reception.

Should be able to get you decent speeds with single band 4G connectivity around 20M-90M. Goo enough to match 30M-100M fibre plans if you want cheap, contract-less and prepaid mobile plans with lite usage.

The outdoor unit is already a wireless router itself. Inside your house if you want better coverage or more wired ports just hook it up a manageless switch or wireless bridge AP.

Unlocked and modded.

Good enough to match 30M-100M fibre speeds if your area less congested with good signal coverage.No CA support though if you looking for higher speed connections.

Can support 4G TDD operators as well such as Unifi Mobile and YES quota based broadband plans.

I tried using a prepaid YES 4G SIM card in a non-locked 4G modem which supports TDD Band 38/40.

It seems it doesn't like to detect that you use it with some fixed modem, after a few attempts of speed test your speed will somewhat be throttled to below 50M to prevent you from wasting quota to do unproductive speed tests that might hog their network resources similar to Maxis where they want to prioritize network stability and consistency over bragging unstable speed test results.

Using a quota based prepaid plan by the way so tethering and placing sim here should be allowed since I'm paying for every allocated GB of transfer data.

When choosing for modem, no need for the LTE-A CA feature. You don't need to bind bands here and CAT 4 LTE devices are more than enough to support upto 150Mbps speeds.

On average their throttling mechanism will push down your speeds to somewhere 30-50Mbps so that everyone can enjoy decent speeds around your area.

That day when I visited a YES store at a local mall, I saw they had some unbranded 4G access point installed on the wall to provide their office behind with internet connectivity.

The modem has a "China Telecom" logo on it

It's pretty much the same stock as those OEM China 4G modems/wireless routers sold at Shoppe and Lazada where you can buy at prices below RM150 per unit.

These modems are unmodded so you won't be able to bypass the Postpaid hotspot sharing restrictions which makes them all legal to begin with. I still pay by the quota on my prepaid plan and seldom use it ended up placing in a spare Motorola phone instead. It's sometimes perform even better than those Huawei or branded ones because the chipset used in them are from Qualcomm or Marvell which are western based firms.

YES buys these modems from some Shenzhen based Chinese OEM factories on the cheap and they are selling them to you for hundreds stamping their brand on it?
Who's doing a scam now?

They themselves were caught using unbranded routers as APs in their own YES shops with "China Telecom" logos on them what do you mean about fines?

Do you know that more than 90% of our modems and CPEs are all made in China today? If it's not the design and patent, almost every individual electronics component that is in them are from China?
