DNB main aim is money masuk somebody's pocket. Do you think they care about 5G?

same , even inside their MRT I can get 5G full bar
Downtown line , North South Line , East West Line

dun joke la. singapore tiny island. if the focus is only at a small area, good job can be done too.

After a long time

DNB also can focus some indoor area first but so far I see NONE

crowd shopping mall can consider to have indoor coverage like midvalley, Sunway Pyramid or One Utama , etc...

and as of today, there is NO Yes 4G signal in parking area in Sunway Pyramid Mall, thinking about they use app to pay parking fee, then how you can do so?

Small Island never is an excuse, Taiwan also not a small island but they established more than 12K 5G cell tower in just 2 years, I believe the coverage is also far better than in Malaysia .


The gov always likely very proud of the coverage map but do they know there are many blind spot ?

Average 5G Speed 342 Mbps

this become slower and slower..... it was 600Mbps++....

Last few week I went Singapore and turn on roaming using my Maxis cannot get any 5g signal

Using s23 ultra

Roam either singtel or starhub also nothing

is due to Maxis not support 5g in Malaysia so cannot get 5g eh?

i went Europe last two months, using maxis roaming, can show and use 5G since the local telco maxis roaming partner support 5G

Goto F Maxis then can, use *100# (if not remember wrong)

last time I went to Singapore and prepurchase 7 days SG pass, once leave from the plane no data connection at all, hard to call Grab..
then ask my friend in MY to F maxis half day then only can get the connection...

can. but i think their focus is on getting the main towns to at least get some connectivity first rather than some parking lots.

also like i said earlier, they always think they can do a better job than the rest. but let's face it, we are not that competent. we are far behind others.

according to Fahmi, DNB now will focus to turn on the remaining approximately 2000 towers to achieve 80% population coverage by end of year.

not surprising that's the priority over some underground parking lot. got to be reasonable at times. some main towns dun even have 5g yet.

got impact?

No idea I recently went to Singapore, buy 1 week pass no matter how on airplane mode and off, and switch operator still showing 4G

Using s23 ultra, don't think is my phone issue

In Singapore so far had line, but the speed was meh

Even worse than in Malaysia, I tried speedtest, get around 10mbps, I was like what speed is this

Ericsson ... Pui

so no more new 5G tower?
the rest of the coverage will be done by the 2nd 5G operator? what frequency band they will be allocated or they have to use the existing one?

Using their existing spectrum holdings would be a baaaaddd idea (doing DSS will impact 4G users), no way the new entity can match DNB in terms of speed if they did that

Probably new allocation of 700MHz/3.5GHz/28GHz to them

Maybe DNB will continue rollout with Yes & TM

the ownership of DNB will change after 80% achieved.

That's why I mentioned TM and Yes will probably continue have shares in DNB... unless something changes

New entity most likely held by CelcomDigi/Maxis/U Mobile just like they wanted before

.
Maybe, NW1 will be owned by Maxis and Celcom-Digi and NW2 will be owned by TM, U Mobile and YES.
....... If so or similar, this arrangement will be better than each celco building it's own 5G network because of too much duplication or wastefulness of 5G infrastructiure.

Presently, each celco has built it's own 4G network of cell towers and backhaul connections to TM's HSBB Fiber network, ie Maxis, Celcom, Digi, TM, U Mobile and YES = 4G infrastructure has been duplicated 6 times.

Remember, for essential services like supply of water, electricity, Fiber/4G/5G Internet and cellphone communications, it's better for the people to have a nationalized or regulated monopoly, eg Tenaga Nasional, TM HSBB Fiber, Air Selangor, etc = minimal or non-excessive profit-gouging of customers/people. Private companies tend to profit-gouge or price-gouge the customers/people.
....... Eg in USA, Fiber Internet services are monopolized or duopolized by private companies according to regions (allocated by the US government) which have profit-gouged the customers/people, eg Comcast.
