not sure about this but i think u can try 4g router and it should work too

4g router are mostly cheaper but i do recommend huawei router. Last time i pair with unifi air really have good experience.

u can try carousell and buy second hand since u not going to use long anyway. after that just sell it back.

where's your kampung anyway?
if we talk small village, 5mbps already a godsend. last time i went homestay somewhere near to baling, i get 400kbps.
anyway, adjust your expectation.

oem brand cheaper... the one rm8xx abit better performance on 4g n 5g, the rm4xx~5xx performance on 4g is meh, 5g max 300mbps bottom neck.

as is oem so it not as power as it is.

else huawei h112 5g, that day see some let go 2nd rm8xx~9xx. if now got umo legal plan. probably will increase back price

better buy a prepaid to test it out first.. if the speed like kura kura.. u cry

last time i test on my office, all show good signal but once indoor.. only celcom and Maxis really can use.. the rest vomit blood

mobile internet.. signal and the tower performance still very hard to said or judge..every location is different. it still better buy prepaid to test it out if unsure..

if poor signal of coz speed will drop badly too
if good signal speed cant goes up, 99% tower is congested.

one of the towns in kedah. not convenient to share exact location but definitely not small kampung. my area there have 4G LTE for the major service providers.
Just not sure for Umobile.

my experience living few years using mobile internet as my main internet connection with digi i150, you will need to invest in a good modem. these days, i don't know what good 5G modem/router available. back then huawei was the best for 4G. need to make sure the data band is compatible and such.

1000GB FUP will be more than enough for regular internet browsing, streaming and occasionally download games. forget about competitive online games, because ping will be high.

wondering will the ip keep changing

hmmmm. If I am going to buy a modem, I'll probably buy 5G. At least in future can still use. If 4G modem, I think I will just use my old phones

town area probably fine, but yeah better be safe than sorry.
i will get myself rm10 prepaid first,subscribe to daily internet package, do a speedtest, if okay then commit to higher internet package.

wow! very expensive.

Does anyone know which 5G phone is cheapest? Would the cheap 5G phone perform similar with these 5G modem?

Topup rm30 for 2TB

haha.
Thanks for the advise.
But as I mentioned, if I am going to spend money on prepaid, might as well just get the actual plan for RM68. Should be no contract for this plan. So I can terminate after 1st month.

thanks for your feedback. will take into consideration to get a modem. but will try with my old phones first.

what's the issue with dynamic IP?

oh nice!
Thanks for this. Will ask them when I get the sim card.
RM30 for extra 1000GB is nice.

depending on your peak time among all your neighbours

modem vs hp..

signal does play some main features too to get good speed n stable connection. if your indoor signal strong. hp probably will be stronger and depends on which modem u invest into it.

for my personal experience on my area. hp signal is weak vs modem. in hp only 2 bar. modem able to get full bar. if sim in hp signal is unstable and internet line will often disconnected. no issue is sim inside modem.

depends on your area. if for future use, better get 5G modem. 4g modem still decent to use for placed dont have 5G yet.

cheap hp, can try get poco f3, f4. decent chipset and get decent speed to. if can root it, is better.

hardly can reach that per month

few things to consider
1. if u can get fiber, get fiber...the hardware is included
2. make sure your house is covered by U-mobile, their coverage very limited
3. 5G router/modem is not cheap, this one u have to buy yourself

if you're ok on no.2 and 3, your speed should win a lot of fiber out there

if use PS5, yes u can. some games got 160 GB, average 60 GB.
