Can counter it by let's say a timer switch, whereby you set the timer to turn off at 4:00am and turn it back on the next minute ? 4am is a time that nobody will stay awake and use internet let's say.

Technically speaking, you shall be allowed to pop in the simcard inside a modem.

I was doing it with u mobile in the past.

There has been quite some reported cases of FT5G users' internet being blocked by Yes as their usage was too high, breaking the fair usage policy and a result of using ahem router.

In so to speak, YES can detect high usage from modded modem and block you.

I think with FT5G you are still lack of hotspot sharing quota.

I beg to defer your "conclusion" on MediaTek 5G modem. Was using Yeacomm NR330 for a year now, nothing other than fantastic stability and speed.

Has never shutdown or reboot for... months now, stand next to the modem (on 1st floor windows) I get 800 mbps DL, and 125-150 mbps UL. At my home ground floor still get 200-300mbps, so don't talk rubbish about MediaTek chipset

But the catch is, being the early adopter on 5G modem back in mid 2023, there is a premium price to pay for Yeacomm, at RM800-900.

SD X55 is newer I think, so it has the benefit of improving from the predecessor.

Nonetheless, for me, the MediaTek is fantastic so far.

Well, I am on Yes 5G though, I found it more stable than U/M on 5G connection although the 2 telcos share the same tower nearby my house. I used U/M before switching to Yes 5G, U/M would drop to 4G from time to time, but when I lock band to only 5G then it had intermittent disconnect issue, as if the 5G service is up and down. But this do not happen on Yes5G, or rarely happened.

Best above 800mbps, 90% of the time above 600mbps. I don't do speedtest from the 5G modem these days, as I am at ground floor like 95% of the time, I bought a Xiaomi AX3000 router connect via wifi (as wifi extender, cabling is not possible for me) to my Yeacomm which I get 250-300mbps. And my speedtest have been on the Xiaomi AX3000 most of the time.

My house is a 3 storey terrace corner lot, so need two Xiaomi router, one AX3000 on ground floor, another AX1800 on 2nd floor, in order to get wifi signal for the full house including toilets

Nope, as I bought my Yeacomm in June 2023, way before the free modem - telco bundle.

So I have :

1st floor : Yeacomm 5G modem, share out internet thru WiFi both 2.4ghz and 5ghz.

Grnd floor : Xiaomi AX3000 router, wifi extender to my Yeacomm 5ghz, diff SSID from Yeacomm. Only one 5ghz SSID.

2nd flr : Xiaomi AX1800 router, wifi extender to my Yeacomm 5ghz, same SSID as my Grnd floor Xiaomi. Only one 5ghz SSID.

Hence all my family's mobile phones, PC, TV box take internet from the Xioomi SSID actually. Do Ms Teams call, Whatsapp video call all are good. Watching F1, TVB or Korea dramas, from my TV box all good.

As for all my smart devices which take on 2.4ghz, are actually connected to Yeacomm 2.4 ghz, which is strong enough to cover the whole house but at low speed. Good enough for smart devices like lighting switches, robot, air purifier, fridge. No CCTV yet

As you are more or less stuck with a 2 years contract (due to the free device), you may consider 2 alternative strategy to improve the line :

1. Invest in a separate 5G modem that is known to have strong signal and high speed. Just close one eye, bite the bullet to pay something around RM800.
2. Find the best spot at home which has the best signal and speed from the ZTE modem, even if that is not ideal to share out the line. Pull a LAN cable to a stable router that share out good internet speed. Do note that the 5G modem is not to be placed right next to metal / steel. Keep some distance.

I think what you have been testing and trying on the ZTE are already the good base, if the active cooling works, the next step is to do the point 2 above. Even if that is let's say in your storeroom or toilet, just do it loh
