How you know the network is severely congested and oversold?

Signal level is FULL BAR.

Speed worst than copper phone DSL era. Get less than 1Mbps during peak hours but off peak hours speeds can increase over 10 folds.

Download speed like 1/3 slower or more than upload speeds. Download speeds during peak hour get dial up speeds like 0.5mbps. Upload speed get 6Mbps. shocking.gif

Yet Maxis dare to charge premium rates for its Postpaid service to its customers when they oversell their bandwidth and refuse to upgrade their capacity.

Think of their base station as a super fast Wifi6 router but WAN hook up to a slow ADSL line. Then everyone shares the same wireless router maxing out its total capacity with the miserable ADSL line.

Get FULL BAR signal also no use, so many people hogging the over utilized base station.

People use mobile service so that it can use every where, if you remain stationary at the location you are facing congestion only then should use home fibre not mobile service. As you said one basestation you at are congest so maybe others are not and good speed, you need to move to ise at other location or port to service providers that lucky have less users ….
