Hi guys, does the ZTE MF286C modem bundled with the plan is a CAT6 modem that can support LTE-A/4G+?

Is unifi air upload speed really capped by isp silently? Their tnc won't mentioned it for sure.

Unifi Air experiencing congestion in my area and TM doesn't seem to be doing anything after I reported. They said no congestion seen from their system. I'm getting like 3Mbps speeds at nights but in the morning 12-18Mbps and afternoon 5-6Mbps.

But funny that my Unifi Bebas Prepaid on Free 1GB Data can get 25Mbps download speed. shocking.gif

So thinking to just use Bebas Prepaid if this is the case. Bebas 30 days Unlimited if non promo price is like RM55. Can save a bit even if capped at 8Mbps.

I think I found the culprit.

As of the time of this post, I tried the Unifi Air sim in my Huawei P10 and it's 4G+ / LTE-A my download speed is around 60Mbps.

When I had it in my TP-Link MR100 (supports 4G only) the speed is around 5-6Mbps on average.

Luckily I didn't get the contract with Modem. TM's new modem only supports 4G right?

TM is giving out ZTE 4G CPE MF286C seems like CAT4.

QUOTE(cjoenic @ Jan 15 2021, 01:50 PM)
to me, 4g/4g+ is more like a name/brand standard. id look at the lte "CAT" level.

it appears that your huawei p10 have lte cat12 (600 mbit dl 100 mbit ul),
while your 4g modem rm100 only lte cat4 i believe, as it is rated 150 mbit dl 50 mbit ul)

and of course, the rated speed does not always reflect in real world use.

the modem provided by previously was huawei  b618 which support cat11 (600 dl 50 ul)

now i believe tm provide huawei b818 which is cat19, rated at 1gbit+ (cant seems to find real value on the net), surpass most modem out there.

Hi, any other options for the modem other than B818 and B618?
Looking for cheaper ones, but still able to get 4g+ signal

If your Unifi Bebas speeds is at that rate probably Unifi Air will be the same at your area.

QUOTE(poooky @ Feb 15 2021, 09:32 PM)
Just got Unifi Bebas. My area is outside of the blue 4G coverage cloud in the Coverage Map on the Unifi Air page. Using 4G CAT 4 Wireless Modem, and I get around 2MB DL/UL per Speedtest to Webe Server in PJ. Otherwise, Youtube buffering 480p is pretty consistent.

Anyone can comment if it would be worth upgrading to Unifi Air? Would I get better speeds doing so?
