This is 5G in Malaysia … mehhhhh

High PING latency, 4G like download and upload speeds @@

what telco are u using and when did u conduct the test at?
our 5G are mmwave type which means the more walls, the slower the speed

Got telco and plan for 4G that exceed 100Mbps?
*
as long that area isn't congested
speed can reach over 100Mbps

Our 5G not mmwave

yes it is
i used it for a month in december 2022

the 1st few days i already knew it's mmwave
it's very obvious, it's unlike our 4G but the speed is pretty godlike

as far as I'm aware that was a PoC test, not sure if they got towers built yet for mmWave
*
if it's not mmwave
u can't reach such insane speed

which speed which area? low & mid band 5G should have speeds ranging from 200 to 480 Mbps, mmWave in best conditions with direct line of sight should peak at 1Gbps.
*
like i said we don't have low or mid band....we use mmwave
it's either high speed or no speed
i've never tested 200-480Mbps on 5G in malaysia yet
it's either 800Mbps above or pass a wall or corner and the speed just disappear

tested in SS2, SS19, bukit jalil, the area beside pavilion BJ, bukit bintang
all the same results

First of all the speed is not insane.

~1Gbps is not very much insane cause 4G actually already can go to up to that speed with the right conditions… thats why most the flagship 4G smartphone is 1.2Gbps by spec for max download.

5G used by DNB to serve us should be around 2Gbps now and 4Gbps if use more spectrum.

5G Mmwave should be able to go 8Gbps and beyond at short range under right condition …

When more people use, it will be slow … the cycle repeats.
*
the modem is capable of 1.2Gbps doesn't mean u can remotely reach it in reality
can u find any speed test result...no need majority...just 1 that showed 1Gbps on 4G?

meanwhile, i don't even have 1...i have 4 picture showing 800Mbps above on 5G easily
it doesn't even need the right conditions

and that gets worse in malaysia on malaysian telco laugh.gif

Phone need download speed so fast for what? Not like gonna download steam games also

4k YouTube 50mbps enough
*
the key isn't enough
for users, it maybe enough....but for the infra it isn't
notice how congested our 4G is right now?
notice how it's quite similar to what is happening to streamyx back then...when the top speed is 4-8Mbps
when everybody is hogging the line at the speed downloading....causing the whole line to bottleneck

suddenly after upgrading to unifi or fiber optic, everything is resolved?
because download is faster, everybody finishes download faster and taking turns....making the whole pipeline not bottleneck and less congested?
this is the same exact situation
when your download is finished, the other users won't feel it's congested and their part won't load

we may have it but i've never stumbled it before
my experience using 5G for a month is definitely the mmwave or high speed or no speed type

or maybe they're gonna deploy those lower speed or wider coverage ones of outskirts of rural area

the slowest 5G i've used so far is at kota kinabalu which is worse than 4G

We are currently in a very infancy stage of 5G launch in Malaysia where num of users limited so what we see today will only head lower and lower … 100Mbps is the committed speed by DNB. So anything higher shall appreaciate.
*
ok lah

why because if we're using sim card, we can't limit the speed like home fiber
we're limited by how much data we're subscribed to
but the hose has to be big in order to accommodate future needs
our 4G right now is congested and bottleneck depending where u are, 5G is the solution to that problem

You can check the tech spec of your S22 to learn what bands it supported.

https://www.samsung.com/my/smartphones/galaxy-s22/specs/

5G bands start with N follows by a number.
mmWave is #257 or #258
3.5Ghz is #77 or #78

The Malaysia version of 5G smartphones have no mmwave if you check.

So unsure how you are using mmwave, there are alot of Android app that you can use to check which bands you are using.

Just when online news said they are testing something doesn mean they are using it or opening for public use. Celcom testing mmwave 5-6 years ago, in the end they didnt get the license to launch.
*
i'm not using samsung, am using motorola right now
i'm not at klang valley now to test and i might not have a chance to test because unifi mobile is ending their free 5G pass

but i can assure u it's mmwave because of the range....it's extremely short range...over a wall and that's it, either the 5G won't move or it bounce back to 4G
it works perfectly find outdoor but indoor have to beware...1 wall = 1 obstacle

u can go to the telco section of lowyat, many people there faced the same issue
for me outdoor, once i exited my taman which is less than 100m, the signal bounce back to 4G

The mid and low bands are all used up for 4G, the 5G band used currently is high band which as compared to the low and mid also poorer in term of penetration.

So if it is mmwave it will be much worse cause it is Ultrahigh frequency.

If high band cause loss of signal with a wall, mmwave likely will loss signal with merely curtain or paper … not suitable for Msia with rainy season.

what i've experience on december is exactly like what MKBHD did on his 5G explanation video
exactly the same thing

FYI, our 5G using n78 wihich is 3500MHz / 3.5GHz (High Band). Not mmWave (28GHz or similar like US). If mmWave are used, our phones mostly out of range. laugh.gif
*
our phone are very easily out of range
just cross 1 wall, u can watch the signal drop(as simple as inside and outside the toilet)
