I think prepaid market is bigger than the postpaid with 70% is prepaid and 30% is postpaid. Most of the telco now focus postpaid bundle with device and premium services. If Maxis managed to capture the competitor prepaid customer, definitely their market revenue will increase. Prepaid customer mainly from students, unemployed, PATI, Malay and Indian community from outside city or B40, elder people, etc while postpaid mainly business, working adult, family plan, etc. Prepaid user anyhow will still need to top up once reach the due date and their credit easily grow to hundreds if seldom use. But if change it to the commitment plan, every month will deduct the credit and the telco company will gain more revenue. I think most prepaid data user prefer Umobile and elder people non data user prefer Digi.

Final giant (DIGI) going to battle with other giant telco. I wonder what will happen to mouse size telco after this. Get step by the giant.
Hopefully Digi come out with the best plan for all prepaid and postpaid user like us...

Done, thanks for the help. But how come the attachment not appear? How to make it appear since nothing to see after copy and paste.

Probably watch HD movies? Or download movies?

Thanks for providing the information. If more people can do the testing might be have more accurate information to compare.
Appreciate your efforts.

I think Digi might not join the prepaid war. If they do join with the package of RM35 based on RM28 plan unlimited Youtube and Social Media + unlimited call, I think they might win. What sdo you say?

Me too, no speed cap data for unlimited social media and Youtube. Watch this video



Summary from video.

1. Lighting Sim Business Model - Allow customer to choose prepaid number ( 100k numbers range) cost RM2/sim (dealer price ?)
2. 30 days high speed internet pack most affordable in the market.
3. All high speed internet plan for 30 days starts from RM15 (3GB + unlimited social media)
3. Enjoy HD content without speed caps.
4. No more reload and subscribe when purchase a new sim pack
5. Low commitment and fast activation time.
6. RM28/30 days plan ( 6GB data+ Unlimited Youtube + Unlimited social media) or ( 4Gb data + Unlimited call)
7. Sim card that always stay active with single validity. (30 days)
8. Affordable internet boosters ( top up RM3 extra internet can last to 30 days)
9. Flat rate for call RM 0.10/min and SMS RM0.10/sms

I wonder if there is any hidden agenda as like Hotlink prepaid unlimited..

Same to me too..

Not sure because usually no people signed up prepaid and postpaid from same telco to use it together. Usually people will signed up either prepaid or postpaid from other telco as secondary backup. Maybe those family member that use one prepaid and the other one postpaid can advice giving the test on it.

Are you referring to the Hotlink Unlimited plan or general all including the old plan.

Ok. I will try to test the speed during that period since I am in Hotlink postpaid.

It still capped at 6mb coz HUP45. 0.8 not much difference.

Test for Hotlink Postpaid 30 speed with Fast.com
Tested 5 times. The lowest max speed is 10Mb while highest is 20Mb. The rest fluctuate within the range but it start slowly from 400kb till stop at the highest speed.
The speed test really huge data consumption. 160Mb for 5 times or 16 % of my 1Gb data monthly data. But for testing ok la..benefit for all of us.

Before Test data balance





Max speed achieved





After Test data balance (160Mb gone)

Celcom Unlimited Prepaid really can go up above 10 mb speed? I thought capped at 3mb only.

Meaning that Speedtest is for overall performance while fast.com is for test stream Netflix speed?
Just quite confuse with the results between speedtest and fast.com

Digi is well known as disruptor in telco industry.. :lol
It said Maxis has revised their postpaid plan earlier
June but how come Hotlink postpaid not included?

PETALING JAYA: Digi.com Bhd’s latest service package is expected to further intensify the already fierce price war in the prepaid segment, said AmInvestment Bank Bhd.

For a long time, Digi is known to be the disruptor in the cellular industry until U Mobile emerged a few years ago and spiced up the marketplace.

This latest offering by Digi could potentially see data prices being reduced slightly or more data added to offerings for the prepaid segment of the market.

In early June, Maxis Bhd had revised its current postpaid plan. It added more data for the same price. That also meant that it was getting rid of the weekday-weekend day split, a move welcomed by some users.


Celcom Axiata Bhd also last week offered new add-on options for its postpaid customers.

Digi this week launched its new prepaid Next, which it claims is the only prepaid starter pack to come preloaded with 30 days of high-speed Internet.

AmInvestment said the price point of the new package was half of Digi’s first quarter 2020 average revenue per user (ARPU) of RM30 per month.

“Despite these unlimited data plans, both Maxis and Celcom aim to maintain their prepaid ARPU above RM30 per month versus the celco sector’s RM31 per month, ’’ the research house said.

It added that even U Mobile’s most affordable prepaid plan with unlimited data is priced at RM30 per month with speed caps at 6Mbps and 6GB of hotspot quota.

“With these substantively lower prices, we may be at the cusp of another all-out war as prepaid subscribers gravitate towards the least expensive monthly outlays under the current Covid-19-dampened economic outlook and diminished consumer spending power, ’’ it said.

For the first quarter of this year, Digi’s net subscribers had slumped year-on-year by 250,000 mainly from the prepaid segment losing 500,000 subscribers, which was partly offset by gains in postpaid users.

It said while prepaid ARPU was stable quarter-on-quarter at RM30 per month, blended ARPU slid RM1 per month to RM40 per month due to a RM3-per-month decline in postpaid to RM69.

“This stemmed from lower pricing entry from prepaid migration and decreasing non-revenue generating subscribers, ’’ the research house said.

“We view Digi’s new marketing strategy as management’s desperate efforts to retain its leading position in the prepaid segment, which accounts for a market share of 39% among the top 3 operators.

“For now, we retain our forecasts pending further clarity on the reaction of other cellular operators over the next few months, ’’ AmInvestment said.

It continues to have a “hold’’ call on the stock.
