502 159 is DNB 700mhz LTE band 28

This is why Telco in the middle of sardines and keep asking how I'm supposed to do kek

Seems like PJ still have 3G signal (Maxis)
whenever 4G signal is weak it will drop to 3G as now I at 1 utama

It will be fully shutdown on 31st March 2022...

Telcos know best that 3G still very important in our daily lives.. After since 3G sunset, the coverage area has become shitty and 2G cannot serve the purposes anymore !!

Delay to January/February 🙂

Because of recent flooding...

Personally I think removing 3G with a short dateline is a wrong move.
What if 4G Crowded and flooded suddenly at high populated area. Habis. I wonder if people will start complaining this issue soon or not. I was thinking to change my Unifi mobile but now think of it, all are the same.

Gomen planning failed big...
Rush job actually.... Should let 3G little longer maybe till Q3 2022??? Meantime... Improve the 4G coverage too... And add more capacity to high traffic/populated areas....

apply to certain area and telco only
my offiice and home area already shut down 3G signal (maxis)

Yes. Depending on areas and state...
Also based on Telco too...

Maybe their have done what they can like 4CC but the resources are so limited. Ask MCMC to open up more bandwidth and frequency

I wonder any telco expert here can answer my question

When the telco drop 3G, will the 3G spectrum immediately repurpose to 4G to increase 4G coverage and speed?

I m not expert. But by terminating the 3g spectrum, telcos have more budget to "upgrade" the infra ( in theory). And frequency interruption also will be reduced.

This is the objective of dropping 3G, because it gives frequency bands used by 3G to 4G, for example, Digi uses 2100Mhz for 3G, so my question is, when Digi drop 3G, will the 2100Mhz spectrum immediately or very soon utilised by 4G technology? if telco dropped 3G and it will take few months for them to roll out 4G for frequency bands used by 3G, that will be bad experience for end users.

For Digi, they already allocated 10Mhz for 4G and 5Mhz for 3G
probably after the shut down, they will expand the bandwidth to 15Mhz

but first of all, 2100Mhz is standard freq for 3G, for 4G you have to check whether your phone is supporting or not, mostly new phone already in the support list.

If u imaging 5mhz as a car lane,
2100mhz we have 3 lanes, now 2 for 4g, 1 for 3g
U really think that 2+1 is better than 3 lanes?
So u hoping everyone flood the 2 lane while u can change lane to 3g lane due to less car? Hmm

Improving blind spot coverage is not gov issue d
Same for add capacity. It is telco optimization team who need to handle this.

Until now mid valley megamall KL still having no coverage at some shops/parking place. U think mcmc/etc will care about this?

Oh well, I have to agree this point. Some people really think that way.
Some users expect that everyone's phone will connect to 4G by default. In the long run, that 4G network become congested, and then they think that only a minority of 3G users still on 3G, so they manually force their phone to 3G, and expects the network is somehow usable compared to the congested 4G network.
If MCMC doesn't care, and telco doesn't care, who can care about this? Mid Valley's building management?

The facility management have to allow telco to install microcell to those blind spot
if telco doesn't care, is it the building management charging too much or any barrier to not allowing telco to install such small tower?

besides, in order to be less congested on 4G, not only to increase the bandwidth, actually telco needs to build more femtocell or small tower in the building, and those telco backbone also have to use fiber, not to use microwave anymore.

Management wont do anything unless telco trigger to build more booster inside their building.

How to trigger improvement? When VVVVVIP cannot make ewallet payment at the cashier of some outlets?

Also, last time i was gossiped that um coverage at KLCC having transmission issue whereby digi celcom having the same. But booster owner of the KLCC (M) not allow other telco to increase capacity to the KLCC site. Yet MCMC cannot do anything due to building management final decision.

I dunno. Figure it out ourselves...

Talking about microwave i almost vomitted that almost all DNB site still using microwave !!
Yet soyacincau and malaysiawireless still teasing y the latency is so high (or no improvement) ....
