True this plan by Umobile allows use in any device as long as you stick to the 1TB FUP to avoid throttling.

Also have you all heard of the GX43 Prepaid plan by Umobile?

RM43 gives you unlimited 12Mbps and also fully hotspot-able, but safer if you use it in your phone. Very convenient for those who travel a lot and needs a hotspot for your PC/tablets.

They silently launch this plan to kill the competition.

i think not very good for more than occasional hotspot usage. only 6GB max. This rules out using legally on modem. But unlimited data on your phone.

Read carefully

6GB with uncap/unlimited speed, after 6GB capped at 12Mbps within FUP.

DiGi Unlimited 40 only unlimited 6Mbps with only 10GB hotspot quota.

This GX43 is DOUBLE THE SPEED and FULLY HOTSPOTABLE

To view cell towers at your locations. .......

(Note the cell tower's range for Internet data = usually around 1,000m in urban areas.) - https://opencellid.org/#zoom=16&lat=3.07197&lon=101.61368

https://mcc-mnc-list.com/list - to ID which celco is the cell tower via its MNC number
UM = 18; Celcom = 13 & 19; Maxis = 12 & 17 & 3 & 503; Digi = 16; TM UF = 11 & 14 & 1 & 153; YES = 15 & 152;
10 = XOX/Maxis/Digi/Celcom

https://www.cellmapper.net/map - enter celco/malaysia and location (need to disable ad-blocker)

https://www.cellmapper.net/map?MCC=502&MNC=...torColours=true
- shows U Mobile 4G LTE cell tower locations.

5G is the best infrastructure ever happened to me and also MRT.

Am only paying RM25 for unlimited data and never again signing up for 2 years fiber contract and pay RM150 per month for home internet fiber + mobile data.

I remember Telekom used to rape me RM27.30 monthly for years on fixed line subscription ( never made any calls ) because need a land line to use Streamyx.

Now I'm only paying RM25 which is cheaper than the RM27.30 fixed line from 2005 and we've come a really long way in telco tech and economic improvements.

Will seriously consider this U Home offer if Yes messed up the current RM30 - RM5 rebate prepaid plan.

only reason for me to get a cable at home is for the low and stable ping. No matter what, wireless broadband/internet is still lacking in terms of good ping.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d still very much prefer to use fiber for those reasons you’ve just mentioned if telco offer me contract free fiber and unlimited mobile data for RM25 but that won’t happen  brows.gif

I get what you mean.
Due to ping, I will pay.
