https://www.lowyat.net/2023/301462/celcomdigi-5g-boosters/ - CelcomDigi Introduces 5G Boosters For Postpaid And Prepaid Users
5G will no longer be free for some on lower-tier plans.
BY IKMAL ROZLAN JUNE 2, 2023
... For postpaid customers, the price of 5G boosters depends on which plan you subscribe to. Those who are on a plan that costs above RM90 will have free access to 5G through their existing quota while those on plans below that threshold will have to fork out RM10 per month for access. The latter group will still have free 5G access until 30 June, a one-month extension of the previous deadline.
For users of plans above RM90 who need more data, the 5G booster costs RM10 per month for 20GB while those on cheaper plans need to pay RM20 per month for the same quota in addition to the RM10 for access. Until 30 September 2023, the booster will actually come with 30GB of data as an introductory promo.
Meanwhile, prepaid customers are being offered boosters with differing value depending on which network they use. Celcom Xpax users can purchase a one-day pass with 3GB of 5G data for RM3, a one-day pass with 10GB for RM6, and a seven-day pass with 20GB for RM12.
Oddly enough, Digi Prepaid NEXT customers are getting less for the same prices, with the brand offering a one-day pass with 2GB of 5G data for RM3, a one-day pass with 5GB for RM6, and a seven-day pass with 10GB for RM12. Similarly, the prepaid passes come with a 50% bonus quota from now until 30 September. ....
Looks like the celcos are beginning to nickel-and-dime subscribers with 5G access fees and 5G data caps, similar to the early 3G days at around mid-2010s when all phone 3G plans came with data caps and 1GB of 3G data cost about RM10, eg RM50 per month for 5GB of data.
So no wonder ....... https://www.lowyat.net/2023/301452/mcmc-5g-...-rate-malaysia/ - MCMC: 5G Adoption Rate In Malaysia Currently At Only 3.1%
The regulatory body's COO believes that this will improve once more coverage is provided and lower-priced 5G devices are introduced.

It may be a cost-effective idea for celco subscribers to keep 4G and forsake 5G, except for rich trendy hipsters, eg iPhone users.

Same thing they did in 2014, charge for 4G access. I remember walking into maxis the day I received my first bill with the charge and switched to them.
Celcom charged for 4G but had barely any 4G that time.
Now dnb, not even their own network they still charging. And because Digi is one with them, Digi also follow.
I really hoped celcom would have followed DiGi’s principles and success, but sadly it is going the wrong way.
Right now the only mobile network in the country that seems to be good is umobile 😂😂😂
Cheap 5G with tethering, free roaming, 3G network still available at some places for calls
The dream 😂😂😂
