hello all.

Need help.

Anyone using U Home 5G?

Trying to get an internet plan for 1 month. Need unlimited data, dcent speed and unlimited hotspot.
Was looking at Hotlink Prepaid or Umobile prepaid. But both have FUP limits.

Stumbled upon U Home 5G.

Just want to check with existing users if really is unlimited data without FUP.

What device that you are using? I don't have a 5G phone. Only 4G phone.
I wonder what is the highest speed that you can get on 4G phone.
Specifically, I may use on either iphone 6 plus or Huawei Mate 10 Pro.
Or should I be looking at buying a 5G modem wifi router. Or maybe just buy a cheap 5G phone to do hotspot.

Appreciate /K's help on this.

Thank you in advance.

if not wrong umobile also 1000gb fup

if can get fiber, get fiber.

thank, just saw that in FAQ for U Home 5G.
Does anyone knows what is the speed after exceed 1000GB?

The Plan is subject to our Fair Usage Policy (“FUP”) as defined in the Terms of Service of our Postpaid Service. Upon reaching the FUP Limit, the speed will be reduced to 512kbps. There is no quota limit for browsing on reduced speed.

1000GB, all my home device don even reach 500GB per month

not any 5G plan
but this is home broadband, meaning you will need to get a 5G modem

I reach

its for my house in hometown. Not there all the time. Plan to terminate after 1 month usage and then only resubscribe when I go to that house.

thanks!

Insert old 4G modem also can right? Just 4G speed

That's what i am thinking too. I don't think my usage will be more than 1000GB for 3 weeks. Plan is to use for watching youtube, netflix, WFH and regular browsing.

wow. How many people in your home that use the internet?
Do you download movies a lot or do video streaming a lot?

The website says you can use your mobile phones. Just no voice or sms services.

I think so too.

Trying to find out if anyone using this plan can share the speed on 4G or 5G.

Is this the better alternative for the old Digi Infinite 150?

But good 5G modem probably still expensive. Those crazy Nightgear modem is in thousand of ringgit nowadays. Reminds of my M1 and M2 when it's still under 1k.

I see I see, previously I've seen most plan dont allow put into phone

what is the specifications for the DiGi Infinite 150?

this U Home 5G does not have voice and sms. Just data.

home broadband package usually came with a contract, unless you take package without modem la.

Sounds similar but old Digi Infinite is 4G.

Dunno why app on my phone very stupid one



Keep this error

yeah. that was correct. most plans are like that because those plans are actually mobile plans.

It looks like this is different because classified as broadband plan. No hotspot limit.

At RM68, can get 5G speed if your area has coverage and 1000GB FUP. I think this might be the best choice for me.
Just trying to see if any real users can share the speed that they experience.
And I only plan to use for 1 month and then terminate, Wonder if anyone has any experience/thoughts on this. The website says no contract. Just have to play 1 month in advance.

4 ppl in my house

only me do the heavy downloading, my family only stream movies and browse social media

that's correct but this plan is different.
no contract. they don't offer plan with modem. Have to get your own device.

try download and reinstall the app? and also sign out and sign in again

last time me also kena this, unifi app is garbage

Will wait for better alternative

actually can put in phone and use, if want hotspot then another story

ok.
Then, I think I should be fine. Only 2 or 3 people will be watching/streaming movies but not all the time.
No downloading for me.

now the question is your hometown got coverage or not.
i have seen less than 2mbps speed quite often despite full network bar. this is celcom btw.

why not buy a prepaid card and test it and see if you can get good speed?

can use hotspot. hope is unlimited. I will definitely ask before I sign up next month.

yeah, i heard that too.
I think that is a chance i have to risk.
I checked on their website, my address have 5G coverage.

Everytime this error i need delete install back
Lazy now, have been do many time

well, getting prepaid card is a good idea.
But I might as well just use that money towards this plan for RM68 and try it out.

hahaha that dnb coverage map is a joke la.
they put area got under coverage but havent install their tower yet.

see below, tasik got so called coverage, housing area nearby dont have. so fishes got priority than human users?

very good plan indoor. 1000gb legal hotspot. uncap speed on all.

rm68. can use on legal 5g modem... is pretty rare. hope others telco does that too. legal modem will be cheaper vs those has mod modem.

rip yes58, i150(not support 5g), gx68, p99, unifi air 79 (not support 5G)

This post has been edited by alexchew_2020: Jun 23 2023, 03:39 PM

oh, I just assumed that the coverage map in Umobile website is what they have right now.
But if no 5G, can at least get high 4G speed.

fastest prepaid right now is 18Mbps on Hotlink RM60. Of course they have unlimited speed but only certain hours/day.

hope you are lucky enough to have high speed celular service lol.

do you know which modem/wifi router that is affordable for the U Home 5G?
The modem reccommended on umobile website are >RM1000 for 5G

I'll just have to risk it.
As long as can get > 18Mbps, that is better than any prepaid plan available in the market now.

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.

it up to u, some telco no contract, some telco got
me lazy go register every time if not work out, if u have time to register each time if not working out, then be my guest
If not, u will be staring at the package for whole 1 month not able to use it

there are area also pattern keluar.. some telco work ok during daytime but at night... no eye see
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.

Everyday download new game meh impossible what

Which 5g phone cheapest? Should be cheaper than the router they recommend, if 1700 for router then too expensive already.

free games monthly, if rajin, can finish games within days, then remove and download new games. inb4 utilize PS Plus Premium package

POKO F4 GT

your phone will be.... toasted. maybe need to have like a PC fan blowing some air on the phone if you're planning to have the internet on 24/7.

Cheapest la. Buy 8 gen 1 phone for 5g router meh

pr0n farm detected

Used Poco M3 pro 5g around 300. 68 a month like this might be good enough for ppl in area no fibre infra

Samsung A14 5G = RM 900++

why not those hacked modems as sold many in Shopee?

Cause no 5g. Those all 4g LTE only

rm550 used on FB marketplace.

Nice price, highly doubt can get similar price for 5g router modems

Just need to add smart plug to turn on/off charging based on the battery

Pm link see

if exceeded, can buy pass add another 1TB just 30ringgit hence 98ringgit for 2TB...

thanks for the advise. i wish to have standalone modem instead of phone.

I will research poco f3 and f4.

thanks for your comments.

1. all fiber have minimum 12 months contract. i dont want contract.
2 confirmed covered
3. yeah. expensive. considering using cheap 5G phone or my old phones but 4G.

that's a lot of data.

I dont have PS5. Side topic, I don't plan to get PS5 or Xbox. I am more of a PC guy.

yeah. On Lazada and Shoppee, the modems they reccommend are about 1700.

problem with whether 4g or 5g, you are dealing with burst data, i tested U mobile for 6 months, the stability is a joke, sometimes your connection can hang, page doesn't load, download fails, ip changes frequently. You better put it at the clearest with the least wall obstacle area, if not it will be slow. if no luck streaming also no syiok. your best bet to have 5g modem, if not buy a cheap 5g phone hook it to your old laptop or system unit. use that as modem and your wifi as your router. if you use those external modem be aware of provider every few days has some sort of refresh. suddenly no line, that few hours later there is line. U Mobile is actually worst than Yes5G. A trick to do if you are using mobile phone or modem with sim, change your dns to google.

found Poco F4 GT for around RM2000

This post has been edited by tester1979: Jun 23 2023, 05:08 PM

Hmmm... Thanks for the thought.

Old phones. Risk that I am willing to take.
Plus will be in room with AC on at least 18 hours a day.

Poco xiaomi can get 500+ better deal

found Poco M3 pro 5G 128GB/6GB for about 1180


this better or Poco M3 pro better?

Quantum 5G modem H188 going for under RM700.

Unisoc IVY510 chipset.

Supports N1/N3/N8/N28/N41/N77/N78/N79 5G bands

Can try this one.

hmmm... sounds like issues with stability rather than dynamic IP.

But I get your concern. Thanks for sharing.

everyday download 4k porn ni

me highest 500gb + only

eerrmmm.....where to buy? can put the link here? i need to research.
Can't find it in Shopee or Lazada


but I need a standalone router connected to the modem to get the maximized speed? ........ maybe this is not a good choice

This post has been edited by tester1979: Jun 23 2023, 05:22 PM

you have to be aware if you use those modem from shitpee or lapsapda, better generate imei and change frequently, service provider these days quick to ban

The reason why 1TB quota was imposed is to prevent people like you running cyber cafes, porn downloading farms and illegal file hosting.

Most average working class bachelor/single users won't even hit 300GB despite streaming video every day, occasionally buy digital games and download apps.

Very affordable plan for moderate users especially if you're a bachelor living on your own and travels around Malaysia frequently so that you won't be tied down by contracts.
