Every mobile data plan has FUP.
So called unlimited data plan not really unlimited if you have extraordinary data usage.
Unlimited Quota Plan, Digi slow AF now

QUOTE(rtk73 @ Aug 11 2023, 09:57 PM) It's because 5G towers are sharing the data bandwidth with 4G I thought 5G access is only from DNB tower.The added more towers but let's say total bandwith for an area is 10Gbps 4G initial will use all 10Gbps but now needs to share with 5G 4G data is only accessible from respective telco tower. Maybe I am not as updated as you are. |

QUOTE(lurkingaround @ Aug 11 2023, 11:34 PM) . Yes, I guess so. 4G towers are congested as 99% of users are using 4G data and only 1% as reported are using 5G data.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. . |

QUOTE(rtk73 @ Aug 12 2023, 08:27 AM) Yes. Most but not all If I have not mistaken, the mobile phone telco towers signal is to "communicate" with the customers via the mobile phone or gadgets.But we're not talking about tower to device. We're talking about tower to tower. That's why can get full bar but data slow Each towers are connected via fiber to communicate with the telco server. Speed connection from tower to the server via fiber is fixed, say 1Gbps. If 1000 users are using the same tower at the same time, eg., downloading/streaming, sure the speed will be disappointed, because 1Gbps divided by 1000 users. |

QUOTE(JLA @ Aug 12 2023, 10:40 AM) the band With the demise of 3G as instructed by Moo govt, most telco are forced to activate Wifi Calling.signal bar dont always translate to speed low spectrum band 5 8 20 built for coverage not for speed band 28 still ok because only accessible with manual lock nowdays have to lock band for the speed lesson learn from webe, yes, umobile. now all telcos the tower urban area with many tower, some small tower are repeater limited bandwidth, limited coverage and capped speed parabolik antenna installer secret is aim to the main tower Before that, 4G is for data/surfing and 3G is optimised for making calls. When 4G is now tasked for calls and data/surfing, sure it will be congested and performance will be cursed. MaxSHIT was the last telco to activate VoLTE because it will make its 4G performance worsen. In short, not enough data capacity on its 4G network and that's why its monthly plan always come with lesser data quota compared with other telcos.
