Does anyone know when umobile is going to shut down their 3G ? Want to test out if calls can go from umobile 4G to maxis 2G without dropping, if not need to change out d

Us Digi customers are in deep shit. Went into BIG supermarket at Ikano last week - lower Ground floor - and I had an Edge connection. Couldn’t even load MySejahtera.

Brooo DIGI at least got edge la wei.

Celcom I went to M&S suria KLCC had no coverage at all. Zero coverage until I left the shop.

Switched back to DIGI and had full 4G volte the next time I went there again.

Will never try celcom ever again, either DIGI or maxis, but I fell now DIGI is the best. A lot of my maxis friends need to turn airplane mode on and off to access internet

I think major telco has provided information that some of their spectrum especially 900/1800mhz are doing DSS. dynamic spectrum sharing...
meaing.. if the area no ppl use 2G, the spectrum will be used for 4G, otherwise, the shared block will be served as 2G purpose.
So basically, all the spectrum 900/1800/2100/2600 at big 4 are all used for 4G now. no such reband or refarm anymore after 3G sunset.

The only radio team inside big 4 can do now is adding spectrum to existing site and change 10mhz to 15mhz for their 2100mhz after 3G sunset.

BTW just sharing, currently digi only implement 4CC/MIMO/256QAM for their network, tat is y digi result at speedtest/other report has suddenly improved compared to other 3 that ad implement this 3 years ago.

Could you share a bit more on the DIGI thing you had mentioned ? Does this benefit all end users or only those with certain phones? Because I’m using iPhone 11 Pro Max and I already can get 120mbps + when I’m upstairs in my house, but when I go downstairs the speed drops to around 3mbps even when the signal strength shows full bar

Is there something going on with the 4cc here? Or do I need to upgrade my phone

11 pro max already can support all these features. So ur issue should be coverage liao  blink.gif

Does this benefit all end users or only those with certain phones?
It benefit for all users depends on the phones capability.
Some phone support 3CC and MIMO and 256QAM
some phone support 4CC and MIMO and 256QAM
some phone only support MIMO and 256QAm (who knows)

And also seems like Digi updated their 3G shutdown schedule
Im weird because i tot Perak already got shut down 3G but i still receive 3G signal
*
I know central is delayed because of ongoing flood, many networks are having issues especially with internet still, and it is not the time to be removing a whole band of internet.

As for you still able to get 3G, based on the chart perak 3G will only shutdown on the 3rd now. Then you will loose your 3G too

goosh i am sharing the same bad experience with u on CELCOM
indoor ground floor, before the 3G shutdown i was still able to receive sms TAC , still got umts
now with 3G gone, the network jus disconnected , no signal already
*
Honestly celcom is the worst. Maxis is second worse. DIGI is the best network surprising

I’m so happy for the underdog la

Celcom KLCC also can have no service don’t even deserve to be a network la

Celcom full 4G and maxis full 4G data will not move, and for both of them I noticed speed issues on certain apps like fb ig and YouTube even when speedtests show normal speeds.

DIGI has never done this, the speed I get in Speedtest is always the speed I get for all my apps. No discrimination no throttle no bottleneck

Praise DIGI

Just lost my digi 3G signal here in PJ. Kinda bittersweet

So far testing if i disable volte calls still can come in on 2G, few seconds longer

Much better than celcom go straight to voicemail if got volte problem or no volte in 4G area
