Yesterday I had a chance to try out Maxis's new 5G .
Lets just say its like Fake Taxi . No I dont mean it's very hot in performance. Fake.
In comparison with the Unifi 5G, Unifi's 5G is faster and stronger signal.

Indoor wise, where I live, hard to get Maxis 5G vs Unifi. Like Chipsmore Cookies, but worse. Whereas Unifi gets stable 5G indoors , where I live.
Based on Maxis coverage map, I'm covered in 5G coverage but maybe they dont take into account indoor. 

Outdoor in a car, barely can get Maxis 5g.

This morning had a chance to test outside my house, where I managed to get stable 5G , ran speedtest and I was expecting to get 300MBps but ..a measly 30Mbps , like a 4G.

Anyways thats all for now my update on this new Maxis 5G. If they are really using their own 5G network , this is despicable. If they are riding on DNB's 5G network (which I read they already signed , finally, Maxis) , then the engineers seriously need to tune it.

All 5G are currently only provided by DNB. Your indoor issue should be due to interfacing OR congestion from Telco to DNB 😞

As to lousy signal in car, that's a given. Metal shell great at absorbing signals. That's why phone case mostly plastics OR glass etc 😄
