Cheaper than U Home 5G

how much for 5G modem? can use cheapo 5G phone for hotspot?

not sure, i am currently using U Home RM68, thinking if I should switch over to Yes

Modem is 1.5k

This seems like a plan in direct response to U Mobile's U Home 5G plan

If it's truly "unlimited" then it could be considered since everyone is riding on DNB
(Gotta check the fine print in the TnC)

However 5G coverage in this case would be quite important as there's only 100gb quota for that
Where as U Mobile has it all sharing the 1000GB

As for hightechgadgets8 you can refer to the U Home 5G thread
There are some cheap ones around rm700 or so, performance will vary but the discussion about which is the best is over there
Most seen to suggest 3/EE UK rebranded Zyxel modems

yes without 5G can use mey?

How's the speed test for the cheaper modems? Tempted to get this plan if truly unlimited and uncapped speed. Currently testing yes SIM in my phone will get around 600-700mbps. If that speed for 58/mth with modem is a real bargain compared to unifi

Good more 5G providers come out with fixed line SIM only plans will shake up the fibre fixed line providers.
Working classes will find them more useful and cost effective than continue paying RM105 for a slow outdated 30M plan such as Maxis.

RM58/68 for a line in excess of 500M-1Gbps, if you're bachelor at work who only spends time at home on weekends/public holidays fixed line broadband plans are waste of money.

If those fixed fibre provider ISPS still think they are in honeymoon, if nothing is done soon many will be leaving fibre broadband soon. Just like in many countries such as Japan, Korea and US.

5G seems to be more popular nowadays than fibre broadband. So much faster to setup, no contract if bring in own equipment and more mobility.

Using their 5G modem in downtown KL Jalan Ampang.

Could be better if use Snapdragon/Mediatek chipset based modems.

Avoid those unheard and less popular ones such as Unisoc.

uncle yeoh vs uncle vincent price war

I have both U & Y simcards in the same phone.

Both 5G signal full bar when idle. But Y has a higher tendency of switching to 4G when data is running.

However even when the sign is 4G, the download speed is still 20mb/s (that's over 150Mbps). So I'm also not sure whether it's 4G or 5G that's runnning.

RM68 is still way cheaper than the miserable 30M Fibre broadband which I'm paying now for RM99 with 6% tax = RM105 a month for the past 5 years+

True to yes behavior in phone
Plus, yes would disconnect the internet connection for a while after heavy download, using phone as hotspot.
However dunno if such behavior exist with this new package and using in a 5g router.
Waiting for anyone to try and report.

150gb quota only for 4g
Im currently on uhome and will switch to yes since it's cheaper and no quota for 5g

4G 150gb only
5G unlimited

u home : 4G & 5G 1tb

Does it mean if I continue subscribing to home fixed fibre 30M every month paying faithfully but only utilizing <100GB a month a waste of money?

Only use it mostly on weekends and just a few hours at night after returning form work to surf news, download a few gigs occasionally and watch tv box?

You trust Yes based on their very bad track record ???

Bad experience with them. Dishonest with their throttling method last time. Use their 100GB 4G Postpaid plan which didn't mentioned can be utilized on any device place it in a modem. At first works like charm using it in USB modem. Then few months later found why my usual speeds 20-30Mbps why suddenly only 1Mbps?

Call them up the idiot operator says my device is not in their supported equipment list and they've upgraded to the new 5G network.

exactly…choose U Home rm68 safer bet
