Anyway guys finally my Huawei B818 router has finally arrived. Seriously I am impressed with the modem. Can get stable and solid signal throughout. Really worth the investment for my Unifi Air SIM only plan. Thanks to ashdwoers for advising me not to take the ZTE modem contract. This is my speed I get with my Unifi Air + Huawei B818:

Maybe it is okay as long as your place got Band 40 and 38 coverage since this modem does not support Band 5. And the speed of course will not match the power of B618 and B818.

I'm just worried I might not get much faster speed compared to just using an old phone for tethering after I spend a lot of money to buy the B618 can the B618 be used as a regular router for fibre internet in the future once I get regular unifi?

That is why you should check what band is there using your Unifi Mobile BEBAS SIM. If it is Band 5, better avoid it like a plague. It is not fast at all.

But it is able to go much higher if the line there is not crowded. Connected to Band 40 with 2CA. In other words, LTE-A. I think it is the same SIM like everyone get.

It is too slow for downloading especially on peak hours. i already subscribed so too late now just debating whether i should continue with unifi air and buy router or just switch to digi infinite 150 and use my old TP-link archer mr200. i had very good experience with digi infinite in the past but it is like twice the price of unifi air.

I think it is the same SIM like everyone get. i see. so, like all other 4G broadband out there. if residential area, usually slow when at night where everyone using hp is back home. while at office area, slow when at day time.

Well if you get better speeds with Digi Infinite, why you should cancel it? I only proceed with this because this is the only line that is good enough for me. Digi is slow and Maxis is unstable in my area, so that is the only choice I have. I rather upgrade to Unifi Air with this speed than continue my 4 Mbps Sampahmyx which is unstable at night.
