Even though it is cheap but the fact that 5G router cost between 1.5~2k, I dont think it is a good deal unless you are going to use it as a hotspot with your phone.

I think YES is a better deal at RM99 with a free 5G router. Too bad I signed up with Celcom Home Wireless 5G at RM149 before YES introduced the price cut.

RM99 with a free 5G router is nice deal. Since all telcos including yes, u mobile and celcom uses the same 5G network rite?

looking thru this thread.

i guess i will go for time fibre broadband (no contract) instead.

rm99 for 100Mbps plan (rm400 one-time charge) is still cheaper than going for 5G plan with better guaranteed of speed and user experience.

dun think i need to go for 300Mbps/500Mbps plan though.

at one time, i only have less than 5 connected devices that utilise more bandwidth only. total connected also about 10 to 12 maybe...

5G plans have all the disadvantages
1) uncertain speed (both download and upload)
2) uncertain coverage
3) FUP
4) expensive 5G wifi router/modem

Time also not all good ya .. my apartment always have user complain downtime during working hour, those WFH all complaining.
At least for telco, downtime should be lesser, i dont think they will shut down a tower for maintenance let all user nearby lose connection.

For the disadvantages u mentioned, u just need to get a sim to test out the connection speed and coverage.
If u dont get 5G with your hp, yes u should go with fiber.

Actually for 5G wifi router they are not really expensive, the typical NR5103E from shopee cost around RM500 and u get decent wifi6 connection (even better speed then average rm200-300 tplink wifi router)

I doubt the fibre is that bad rite? but at least no contract, worst case scenario can just switch. Just the initial rm400 will be hard to swallow if sign without contract. but for time, one can keep the equipment rite? I wonder if next time I go somewhere else with the same modem can be used for a new connection with cheaper initial cost or not.
