If 4G coverage strong means it was switched back to 4G between 5 seconds but indoor where most 4G still struggles. After ended up call take about 10 seconds switch back/ sometimes it’s just stuck in 2G so need to force turn on off airplane mode to get back 4G.

Only minor times I’m facing but outdoor no issues
Such a lame till now Celcom doesn’t enable Volte to prepaid customers whereas I heard now many Hotlink user gotten Volte

Celcom seems to have the most hiccup in terms of rolling of VoLTE. On top of that, some users on older plan reporting Celcom refusing to activate VoLTE for them and suggested plan upgrade.

Hi guys. Is there by any chance other networks are still providing 3G after the sunset, apart from the Big 4 (Celcom/Maxis/Digi/Umobile)? I heard that it may be extended until March 2022 for the complete 3G shutdown?

Some of our industrial IOT devices is still running on 3G and we're trying to buy time as long as we could prior to upgrade the devices. Thank you!

Looking at the Jendela roadmap, possibility of extending the sunset of 3G network is practically zero. In fact, Celcom already shut down their 3G network over the Klang Valley about a week ago.

I was wondering if we were to report the situation to MCMC, would anything be done? Or these telcos will continue to pretend nothing wrong is happening, and we continue to pay our bills but get mediocre service?

Well to begin with, unless your plan comes with SLA I doubt you could get compensation in the form of bill discount. On top of that, MCMC minimum network quality standard was pretty low to begin with. In any case they didn't meet the standard and MCMC received a complaint, the mobile service provider are required to attend to it but even then if improvement is technically impossible (typically in urban area) the case will also be closed without a solution.

I'm not discouraging you to lodge a complaint here but majority of the complaint went without a solution (typically urban location).

MCMC like a toothless tiger that couldn't be bothered nowadays

Some of the MCMC members already had conflict of interest by having position in mobile service provider. This pretty much sums up what you need to know.

In simple words, having 2 big duopoly is still better than 1 big monopoly.

Both of them could still form cartel.
