let me tell u what happened. I was like you, using 4G all these while with digi. I said to myself, 4g is good enough for my usage. Then after they rolled out 5G, the 4G "somehow" become like shit. same location indoor same telco, i speedtest with my friend beside, my 4G phone get 0.2mbps, and his 5G get 300-400mbps. I think you can stay back on digi plan, just get a 5G phone. AND, using 4G in a 5G phone can get more bandwidth than a just a 4G phone.
And not to forget, after changing a 5G phone, i need to change my cheapo digi plan to a 5G available plan ( more expensive). Maybe this is the way they earn by making people embark on a 5G plan.

Yes. 5G is a MUST these days because 4G in all telcos are getting slower and slower. They are migrating their resources to 5G hence expect 4G to perform like 3G.

no such problem with umobile, my dad recently downgraded to 4g phone because samsung denied warranty, no issues at all
constantly above 100mbps in klang valley area
if same place test (at home), 5g around 600 and 4g around 120

In 'lionelchia's' case, the slower 4G speed could be because of traffic congestion during peak hours.
Each 4G cell tower has a bandwidth capacity of about 1Gbps to serve a maximum of about 500 active subscribers at any one time = during peak hours in urban areas, each active subscriber can get only 2Mbps, ie 1,000Mbps/500.
My cheap 4G phone plan is presently getting 4.6Mbps in speedtest.
