Yes 5G 24 months total expenses = (99*6+149*18)*1.06=3472.56

UMobil = 68*24*1.06 + Cheapest 5G modem recommended (1699)= 3428.92

ends up similar , instead of their network routing, Yes has 120Mbps max speed but no FUP, low upfront cost (no need buy the 5G modem) but umobile U has max speed but 1TB FUP (33GB per day . )

Cheapest modem is Rm600 only

Worth it? It costs almost twice with latest batch of Snapdragon X55 modems on sale.
Known chipset problem.

Those cheaper China OEM 5G modems with Unisoc IVY 510 chipset is known to perform very bad with DNB's Ericsson equipment due to compatibility.
Average can only reach 100+mbps even with good signal reception.
From the speedtests down with the Arcadyan, it's noticeable slower compared to other Snapdragon based modem. 200-300mbps on average is slow.

Gteniq is another lousy one costs almost 2X(also around RM900) the competition but only has 4x1000Mbps Ethernet ports. Open source firmware is useless because many won't make use of it. It only confuses new users because they might mistakenly change them.

Yeah, It is 510 chipset. There is two model VN007+ and VN009. 5G working fine on VN007+ but not on VN009.

However, I also tried with the Redmi K60 (China set) with the Gen8 chipset and still couldn't obtain a 5G signal. Now, I suspect that the issue may be related to the DNB checking device IMEI code, as all devices must registered under MCMC.
