Using the same phone??? 🤔

this is why i will never sign unifi home broadband .. Instead, maxis is my preferred home broadband provider

Very sick of TM's unethical business modal

.
Mobile 4G/5G Internet has limited bandwidth capacity and high urban subscriber density per cell tower = is often subjected to traffic congestion during peak hours, especially in urban areas, ... unlike Fixed/Immoblie TM Unifi Fiber Internet. Eg each cell tower has to serve a maximum of about 500 active subscribers at any one time whereas each fiber cable has to serve a maximum of only about 50 active subscribers in linked-homes or shops or condos at any one time.

Afaik, DNB1 has a total of 5.6Gbps bandwidth capacity per cell tower for it's 5G bands of 700MHz and 3.5GHz, to be wholesale to the 5 celcos. DNB2 should have about the same 5G bandwidth capacity per cell tower in mid 2024.
....... DNB1's high bandwidth capacity of >10Gbps per small-cell for it's 5G mmWave Band of 28GHz can be ignored because of it's very short range of about 50m, whose small-cells are only deployed in downtown city centers and high foot traffic areas like MRT main stations, shopping malls, stadiums and concert halls.

For 4G, each celco has about 2Gbps of bandwidth capacity per cell tower = totalling about 10Gbps of bandwidth capacity (= 5 celcos) for Bands 800MHz to 2600MHz.

So, from a mobile subscriber's perpective, by mid 2024 when DWN (= DNB1 and DNB2) is in operation, 50% of subscribers should remain on 4G and 50% of them should be on 5G, in order to minimize traffic congestion during peak hours, esp in urban areas. Note that subscribers can opt to use 4G even if they are on a 5G mobile plan.
....... Of course, this scenario is subject to the government not phasing out 4G, which may happen if >80% of subscribers are on 5G in 2025 = often causing traffic congestion during peak hours..

.... DNB said Celcom Axiata has taken up 12.5% in stakes, followed by Digi Telecommunications (12.5%), YTL Communications (20%), and TM (20%).  ...

https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/666461 - TM joins CelcomDigi to withdraw equity participation in DNB - 10 May 2023

Looks like even the GLC Celcom-Digi and TM will be abandoning DNB1 and moving to DNB2 in early or mid 2024 because of the very high wholesale prices charged by DNB1, ie can cost a celco RM360 million per annum for access to just 1Gbps of bandwidth capacity and 1,000 5G cell towers, mostly in urban areas.
.

DNB1 has a total 5.6Gbps bandwidth capacity per 5G cell tower for it's long range 700MHz and 3.5GHz frequency Bands to be wholesale to celcos. Problem is, how much bandwidth capacity or frequency bands will the government sell to DNB2.? Jialat if DNB2 gets only 3Gbps = only 2 celcos can buy wholesale, ie 1.5Gbps each.

Note that for 4G, each of the 5 major celcos has about 2Gbps of total bandwidth capacity for it's long range 800MHz to 2600MHz frequency bands = total for the 5 celcos is about 10Gbps to be sold to subscribers.
.

Last known wholesale price was RM 30000 per Gbps per month, will result into RM 360K per Gbps per year, RM360millions  means 1000 Gbps and I don't see where it means per 1000 cell site as well....

DNB1 will be as a private company as well after reach 80% of coverage, the most valuable thing is its 700Mhz frequency band (20Mhz x 2) and also 3.5Gbps frequency band (200Mhz).. i don't think any telco will abandon it unless the price going to sell to telco is very expensive.

It is not saying per cell site has 1000Gbps

It is saying the connection between DNB and the telco has 1000Gbps.
from the image below, i remembered DNB has more than 1000 cell tower but many of them are not yet enabled.



another news already confirmed that DNB rolled out 1915 sites already.

https://soyacincau.com/2023/01/04/fahmi-fad...t-verification/

assuming all cell site full load, DNB has the capacity of 10,724Gbps..

It is reasonable for each telco renting 1000-3000Gbps for their needs, and probably minimum order is 1000Gbps, thats why M is paying the minimum order.

DNB isn't a telco to begin with.. That's why they dony understand how a telco works

... At the moment, DNB’s published Reference Access Offer (RAO) for 5G access pricing starts from RM30,000 per Gbps per month that’s locked to a 10-year contract duration. DNB has said it is open to conduct a price review every 18 months either via an independent party or through the MSAP. ....



In case you’re wondering why the wholesale price for 100Mbps costs more than retail pricing, broadband providers only subscribe to wholesale access based on the total peak network usage, not based on the accumulative total bandwidth “sold” to its customers. For example, if there are 1,000 customers subscribed to 100Mbps, the retail provider isn’t going to sign up for 100Gbps per month. The reality is that not all customers will maximise their total subscribed bandwidth all at the same time. ...

“They also have to pay a fixed upfront fees regardless of how far the 5G population coverage progresses – a concern to the market as dividend payments might be significantly reduced given the additional costs,” said Kenanga Research. ....

Maybe TM Fiber Wholesale can offer up to 500Gbps by laying 50 Fiber-optic cables for places like huge shopping malls/complexes and skyscraper office buildings.
.
Now I'm not really sure how DNB1 charges the celcos it's wholesale prices.

Guessing; ... Maxis Fiber Home charges subscribers RM129 per month for 100Mbps and Maxis pays TM Fiber Wholesale RM254 per month for 100Mbps. It's likely that at this wholesale price, Maxis Fiber has to over-sell it's 100Mbps plan to 4 subscribers living in the same row of linked-homes, in order to turn a profit, ie 4 X RM129 = RM516 - RM254 = RM272 - some costs = about RM150 profit per month. During peak period when all 4 home subscribers are online, each can only get 25Mbps, ie 100Mbps/4.

For DNB1's wholesale prices to celcos and for 5G subscribers, the principle should be about the same.

Latest Update: .......

https://www.thestar.com.my/business/busines...on-in-5g-agency - Malaysia telecoms firms reach agreement on equity participation in 5G agency - 21 July 2023
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia said on Friday telecommunications firms CelcomDigi, Maxis, Telekom Malaysia, U Mobile and YTL Communications will take up stakes in state 5G agency Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB), following an agreement reached between the firms and the government on equity participation and 5G access.

The announcement comes as mobile operators and the government look set to conclude protracted negotiations over Malaysia's 5G rollout plans.

Malaysia had in 2021 announced that state-owned DNB would own the full 5G spectrum, with carriers using the infrastructure to provide mobile services. But the plan was met with industry concern over pricing, transparency and monopolistic practices.

Mobile operators agreed in October last year to take up 70% of DNB's stake to resolve the impasse.

However, the deal lapsed after Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's administration - which took power after an election in November last year - announced a review of the government's 5G plans.

In May, the government said it would allow in a second 5G operator next year when DNB's coverage reaches 80% of populated areas.

On Friday, the communications ministry said in a statement the telecoms firms will take appropriate governance actions to complete the shareholding process in DNB.

It did not however provide details on the division in equity or the value of the deal.

Last week, Maxis Berhad agreed to sign a deal to access DNB's network, the last major carrier to do so. Other carriers had signed the deal last year, paving the way for 5G services to be rolled out to customers. - Reuters
.

So in the end, all the drama, DNB is still the only provider. Monopoly wins.

.
Not really. Celcom-Digi and TM Unifi Mobile are GLCs. So, DNB1 will still remain government-controlled = more poltically influenced, more inefficient, less productive, less tech know-hows, higher wholesale 5G prices, etc - similar to TM Fiber HSBB and Tenaga Naional.
....... DNB2 whose separate 5G network will launch in early 2024 will likely be privately-owned by the non-GLC celcos, eg Maxis, U Mobile and YES.

DNB1 uses mostly Ericsson equipment to set up it's 5G network of cell towers whereas DNB2 will be using mostly much cheaper Huawei and ZTE equipment.
.

Not for the news said though, all will go into DNB stakes
