The snail is even faster than 64kbps...

While mostly sleeping in the middle of the "night", the 240P YouTube cannot be played without buffering every 10 seconds once GX38's 80GB FUP Limit is achieved:

[attachmentid=10518555] [attachmentid=10518556]

Must stream at 144P for smooth playback...

😅😂🤣

So bad..
Basically it's not 100GB FUP limit as many says...
Well it's okay.. 80GB also acceptable since it's cheap plan...

And more unfortunate news is the throttling also affected the 6GB "free" Hotspot Quota for GX38 once the 80GB FUP Limit is achieved:

[attachmentid=10518558]

Throttled to 0.23Mbps = 256kbps.? = half of 512kbps, ie the Maxis HUP35 throttled speed.
.
Please confirm that your GX38/6Mbps is still being throttled now.?

If so, it means UMobile has reimposed and lowered its monthly FUP limit from 100GB to 80GB for its affordable "unlimited" data GX phone plans, of which GX30 and GX38 has recently been given double the speed/6Mbps and hotspot/6GB, ... in order to limit the amount of data used by heavy-users.

Seems, subscribers, including myself, are having network issues with UMobile since 6pm tonight, ie very slow Internet. Just now, I couldn't even do a speedtest with my GX50 at www.speedtest.net. Maybe your above report has been affected by this issue. .......

.

Update: I was able to do the speedtest at www.speedtest.net just now at about 11:30pm = 10.12Mbps d/l and 5.90Mbps u/l. Seems, things are getting back to normal with UMobile's network. .......

Look carefully. The user has used more than 83GB within 2 days only.

This is exactly abuse of U Mobile network and already violate their terms and conditions.

So not just U Mobile only, I believe CELCOM also will throttle down his speed.

I suggest you no need to pin first.

Who is going to use the data for more than 83GB in just 2 days only?

Normal users are using 3 - 4GB data per day only.

If confirmed to be true, other GX38 users who may also use > 80GB of data in 2 days should be made aware that UMobile will throttle them.

If true, wonder if those who use about 4GB daily(= 80GB in 20 days) will also be throttled by UMobile on the 21st day till the 30th day.

Then we need to wait until next month, just can know what is the result.

Because today is just the sixth day for me to use the new GX30 with 6Mbps speed.

It is totally impossible to watch 720p movies for 24 hours to achieve more than 40GB a day.

Download 1080p movies, games or files is the only way to use that amount.

If he is using like that, I believe all the telcos will throttle his speed unless he subscribes to the premium unlimited data plans with the price of RM150 and above.

I think 83.6GB in 2 days is not azhar75's normal usage of his Internet. He was just quickly testing out the monthly FUP limit of the new GX38 plan vs his other Celcom XUP35 which likely has a monthly FUP limit of at least 100GB but it is a limited time offer only = XUP35 may be gone after 2 or 3 months.

If azhar75 is still being throttled by UMobile, this means the monthly FUP limit of his GX38 plan is very likely 80GB, which is still much better than Maxis HUP35's monthly FUP limit of 50GB.

Maybe you can later report to us the monthly FUP limit for your GX30 plan during normal usage of 2GB to 4GB per day, ie using up 80GB near the end of your 30-days pass/addon. Also the throttled speed. I will try to do the same for my GX50 plan - end of my monthly billing period is 7 July 2020.

True unlimited data prepaid plans without FUP likely can only come from TM Unifi Mobile or its sister company Celcom because of the TM HSBB Fiber network monopoly, eg similar to the TM Unifi Home Fiber plans. Please have a look at this video when it refers to the cell tower's backhaul connections to fixed Fiber Internet. .......

For my opinion, the one who abuse "FUP" are the telco themselves.
"Unlimited" with "FUP"? Why don't just call it as "QUOTA", since it is a fixed amount.

For my opinion, FUP is fair usage policy, which mean when server detect your abnormal activity, such as bypassing torrent thru VPN, or when the tower overloaded, so the traffic sharping is kick in so everyone in the network have a fair speed eg: average 1mbps for every one, or server detect someone using some illegal equipment such as booster which will not fair to the others, then FUP only kick in to control the users.

Malaysian telco the one abuse the FUP term as quota only.
Unlimted with quota.

Only fixed lined in Malaysia do not enforce "FUP".

That how Malaysia telco cheat us. Have unlimited but throttled to 512kbps when exceed 50gb.

I like your idea but to telco every byte is profit. Every telco have a limit users that how umobile mess up. They offer unlimited with low price making tower congested so because they didn't upgrade the infrastructure first making normal user like me p70 need suffer too.
