I'm with Celcom and been using 5G for weeks now in klang valley.
Personally, other than fast download speeds, I'm experiencing mediocre latency.
Running a lot of opensignal tests when I'm in new places, and I'm getting latency of 10ms or even higher.
This is poor. This is just similar to LTE (4G). Anyone getting better figures? If yes, which telco?

thanks for the explanations.
So at the moment, we should expect local 5G to be of this quality, and all telco should be the same right?

Strange. Why my place no 5G yet ?

Where do you live? I'm in KL and PJ area, all 5G with very strong signal strength (Celcom)
but like I shared, the latency isnt as promised by 5G promoters. I'm still getting LTE latency.

Even if your latency is low, what can you do with it?

For me 5G is a good to have, but not a necessity. But since we are already paying good money for it....

for me, just using existing prepaid plan. not paying anything extra at all for 5G.
Just woke up one day and realize the signal already switched to 5G.
The download and upload speed is VERY good. Just kinda disappointed not getting "advertised" 5G latency is all.
But definitely gonna use 5G instead of LTE. Battery consumption, dont feel any difference at all.
I keep my mobile data ON at all times.
