South Korea is actually a proxy and testbed for western companies to penetrate the Far East Asia region. Many of their technology are disguised as home grown but was actually injected in by western country to counter Japan and China.

Without the Western countries turning it into a proxy state to market their technologies into this region, they'll probably be no different than their North Korean cousins today still living in abject poverty.As noticed by many the entire nation economy fate lies on a few "chaebols" corporation which looks artificial.

The only true powerhouses for technology in Far East Asia is probably Japan and Taiwan and now emerging China.Japan actually has many homegrown interesting technology but they'll keep it to themselves and only used for their domestic market.NTT DOCOMO's FOMA was the first WDCMA pre-3G standard before it was standardized as UMTS. Also don't forget they had the PHS network which was unique only in Japan with its packet based i-Mode mobile content service.

Back when every other was still using SMS, Japanese market was already using emails and their PHS network already provided unlimited local calls with reduced call quality at half-rate.

When we was still using dial-up 56k last time billed by the min, they already have 2+1 channel unlimited ISDN, when Malaysia was still selling 2Mbps Streamyx ADSL, they already have ADSL-Q which can reach 2X the speed of ADSL2+ at 50Mbps only unique to their own country based on homegrown tech, not even Singapore had such technology.

Japan has since launched FTTH commercially since end of 2002.In 2005, Japan already launched 1Gbps FTTH service.

Already 15 years since and until now Malaysian network has difficulties going above 800Mbps(0.8Gbps)?

Don't triggered..
You're one of them? 🤣

I personally know some still using dumb phone..
No crime to use..

I know it's their $$.. their decision..
We outsider cannot interfere..

Just healthy discussion also cannot...
Oh God...

Yellow guy fast to join war please

Matter of time I guess..

Because they also don't want lose customer 😂

Some of these customers not worth having. Trash the network and then complain not cheap enough. I hope Digi stays away from this cheap unlimited nonsense.

did you know many 4G smartphone second sim is 2G only ? Can we call dumb smartphone

2G-only doesn't necessarily mean dumb phone.

Dumb phones mean those phones without smart features.

Infrastructure capacity is there
If fully utilized and non fully utilized or monetized the maintenance cost is the same
Digi better sell more so can earn more

Some areas are already congested. Digi is already well patronised with its Infinite plans.

PS:. Do you know Digi had more subscribers than Maxis or Celcom in 2019?

thanks for clarifying..
was thinking the best way to reply without annoying anyone..


JLA your answer..

But based on Digi reported ARPU, it looks like most of their postpaid subscribers are on Digi Postpaid 80 plan, and probably not as many Digi Infinite subscribers as many thought, hence Digi has also not withdrawn the plan from sale, which may also suggests Digi Infinite plans don’t have stable subscribers base as too many come and go.

Before U Mobile came into the picture, Digi was the price leader and most aggressive with new features for its Beyond Prepaid products with unlimited SMS on MTV pack before smartphone became a thing, FnF for all networks etc because Digi was not in the same league as Maxis and Celcom. Things have improved significantly since, however, it’s just a matter of time before Digi has to do a counter offer for the unlimited data in the prepaid segment or Digi will start losing customers in the prepaid segment.

Before the current Hotlink unlimited offering, people were making all sorts of excuses for Manis.

"Maxis is too high-end to stoop to lowering their prices."

"If people want a good quality network they should pay for it."

Etc, etc.

I would rather Digi attract more customers by revisiting their Super Long Life and other customer retaining features.

What telcos want: higher revenue.

What consumers want: more value for money.

Of course different users have different usage requirements. There should be an optimum way attracting customers without running the network to the ground. Look what happened to Celcom with their Burung Hantu campaign.

Im actually want More stable,fast, heavy usage without fup.(at least 500gb+).i won't mind pay higher price like 100++

This afternoon suddenly Digi network not moving at all with full bar, switch to unifi mobile everything smooth. Luckily got back up sim

Hence FUP needs to be enforced, like what Hotlink is doing with its Hotlink Prepaid Unlimited passes.

Celcom is a typical GLC, and despite having the same resources as Maxis (the spectrum), somehow Maxis network is just superior. So Celcom problem is more than just congestion issue.


Digi Infinite is your answer but unfortunately Digi performs poorly at your place. Digi is quite stable in PJ, but not around centre of KL.
