I can echo this. I was using YES 5G broadband, and it just kept getting slower and slower.. from 300mbps to < 100mbps.. switched to U Mobile and speed back to 300mbps

It's not a location issue ya, I got same Yes 5G plan in Seremban and Klang Valley running TP-Link Qualcomm chips.. so confirm it is YES problem.

Yes, I was recommended to try U Home 5G and I was very happy about it.

Anybody on the ZTE G5B? How does it compare to the Huawei H153? I cannot seem to find confirmation that the G5B uses Qualcomm.

I am using the H153, it is stable (2 months never restart) and fast - can hit same speeds as the TPLINK x55

These modem damn big leh, I used to the smaller modem i use across countries as show below:

Yours is a MiFi which is for portability, of course smaller and it needs to be charged. Those big ones are CPEs.

Yes 5g got problems like sudden speed drop at my place in kl

U home 5g got router probs (the free router with contract)...so far speed maintains at my kampung house in melaka

Yes, that’s what I experienced too when I was using YES for 1 month. It will suddenly drop to 4G and became slower. Switched to U Home 5G and no more such problem.

Mind to share where did you this? Good speed?

Anyone experience slow speeds in evening to night? Seem like too tower is overloaded when everyone off work. Speed slow down and also got higher latency, sometime temporary no data coming in even though got full 5g bars.

any workaround for this? can tplink ax1800 lock band?

Does anyone have any evidence that umobile will unlock their 5G modem after contract? When I registered last year, I was informed it will be unlocked, today when I went there to enquire again, I was told there was no such thing.

My X50 5G start acting up this morning for no reason. I have had it setup to restart everyday at 430am but this morning stuck at red no matter how many times I restart the it.

Did a hard reset and it is working fine again. Might have contributed to the slow speed I experience last week.

Just hope they are just busy upgrading your area to Ultra5G..

whichever staff told you that should be fired

if the router is to be unlocked, the whole firmware inside would need to be flashed to their common edition
the firmware that u get from umobile router is designed specifically for umobile...you can see it from the firmware's version code/number

so you are saying I tied myself to a 24 years contract and at the end of my contract, the modem remain locked to umobile and only to be used only on umobile sim?

i hope that staff will be fired as well, let me know if you know anyone who has the authority to do that.

i have the staffs name from the receipt when i sign up for the service.

Perhaps there is a misunderstanding between you both. Telco provided router will be locked to their respective network. It has been the case since forever regardless of telco.

Most possibly he/she was referring to the contract and the router locked for 24months which become unlocked after 24 months.

there are no misunderstanding here between us both

the one misunderstanding here is the staff in question...the router is locked and will forever be locked to umobile...even after 24 month

the only thing is the router will become the current user's ...not the telco's anymore

Yeah... Im pointing at the staff and sohlican... not between both of you.

iinm, maxis router doesn't lock to their network.

After 24 months, should be considered it is our stuff already, why cannot unlock? No unlock code anymore like last time?

Currently I am on Time Fiber 200mbps paying RM99 per month.

However, the speed/stability in the farther rooms are not that great due to walls/distance (but still stable and useable). Even my PC, is using WiFi connected and there is no fiber connection to any device.

I see Umobile has 5G broadband at RM68. Seems like I can save quite a bit a month and have the flexibility to place the router in a more central location which should offer better speeds.

But is 5G broadband stable enough? At the moment, Time Fiber broadband has never failed me for nearly 5 years, WFH is also smooth. Can I expect the same from 5G Broadband?

Note: If I get U Home 5G, I will be using their bundled router.
