Hye, i will try to make it as short as possible.

My house, very kampung. No Unifi or Unifi Air, as per TM.

Side note : here is the situation, front of my house, maxis data can reach 3.7mb/s. Walk 6m inside, not even whatsapp can work.

But,
1) There is a Tm technician, came to repair phone and he said, my area actually can get Unifi Air, but not at rated speed.
To think abt, my current Streamyx, used to be at full health : now, it simply sucks, at almost twice the cost of Unifi Air.
UnifiAir, let it be way below rated speed, it will be still worthy.
*Nope they never managed to fix my streamyx anymore after multiple reports, or care about it anymore.

2) My neighbour, around 50m, but even deeper into forest, somehow(also NOT offered by TM) uses UnifiAir.

SO, I NEED TEST IT FIRST.

1)Can i use my phone to test UnifiAir speed?

2) I can't borrow my neighbours' router and see if my house also got coverage.
But, at same time, i can't subscribe UnifiAir with router since it's subject to 2 years contract - no way i'm going to have faith in TM to keep the speed.
SO, ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS TO TEST IT ? willing to buy SIM alone(without contract), once to test it first.

i thoguht was't got 30day free trail?

digi no line? digi got infinite plan, YES, umobile

If you got samsung phone or any rooted android phone. You cqn lock 4G and disable band 5 and test the speed is ok or not. Worst case just cancel the sim. UnifiAir use LTE band 38 and 40 like yes4G

Try with the Unifi Postpaid sim card, there is no contract. You can get it from TM point near you.

and, using phone as hotspot internet is bad. 1 coverage indoor not sure. if outdoor u get good speed. then should get a modem n try it.. modem better ot be huawei brand.

Yes u can get sim only. This 1 no contract. Advanced payment rm100.

But must use hp / mifi modem that support 2300 MHz TD-LTE (Band40).

U can view the phone that support LTE band 40 here:

for modem, can try refer here - https://www.4gltemall.com/ue-by-spectrum/ba...it=25&mode=list

get a unifi prepaid and test. make sure your phone can support band 5 850mhz LTE. there are 24 hour unlimited pass to test. cost rm3 if not mistaken.

do take note unifi air is NOT unifi mobile.
unifi air no prepaid.
unifi air cannot make/received call. pure data.
coverage also diff.
its actually webe previously.

if u have a phone that support band 5, 38 & 40. u can test. if u are outside of band 38/40 coverage, band 5 speed is still can go 20mbps if your place not congested.

find out where the tower is using cellmapper app & cellmapper maps
https://www.cellmapper.net/map?MCC=502&MNC=153
https://www.cellmapper.net/map?MCC=502&MNC=11

borrow neighbour TM UnifiAir sim card. Ask neighbour for help. Seem like neighbour understand how mobile wireless work. He like DIY guy who dont care what coverage maps said

MTK soc smartphone can select band with Super MTK engineering app. Get one 'no ads' versions.

Band 5 is slow. Look like you don't have free unifi bebas sim card either.


Out of coverage with Mikrotik SXT 2G/3G/4G/LTE CPE

i tot streamyx price already fixed at rm89 or rm69?

Ya. Thanks for pointing out. Sorry for the mistake. Well unifi mobile is an option too.

Does this mean Unifi Mobile doesn't have Band 40?
Thanks.

unifi mobile (prepaid n postpaid)
unifi air (broadband - pure data cannot call n sms)

both using the same coverage. hence as at now both type of sims support Band 5, Band 38, Band 40 of unifi (under 502153 & 50211)
the limitation now is the device. not easy to find modem/phones that support all this bands

i am a unifi bebas & unifi air user... both sims put on phone and also tested on B618-65d modem

So...same place....test
Unifi bebas and unifi air......what the difference?

So I heard unifi mobile can connect on 4G celcom if unifi has no coverage. How to know if your phone is on 4G celcom or 4G unifi. Cause my sister got 4GLTE on her phone using unifi mobile, but my area is not on coverage map of unifi air. I wanna use Air since my only other option is streamyx

coverage map not update
band 5 can travel far far away from map center point

need to install app than can see network id and LTE band like network cell info or cellmapper

mediatek soc phone and samsung phone can enable/disable selected LTE band

I have never seen my unifi mobile n unifi air is riding on Celcom (50219) 4G. 3G yes but not 4G.

My experience on 1 week with unifi air 1 week alwiz riding on 4G unifi (50211 & 502153).

Unifi mobile 3G can ride on celcom and connected if u have 3g quota
Unifi air 3G shows NO SERVICE. I can see 50219 (celcom) on 3G but not connected to internet. Air will only connect with unifi 4G regardless what band (5/38/40)
