I am planning to cancel YES package. No signal inside the building although map shows coverage. Didn't get to try with a modem because need to invest few hundred. I asked around, if phone no signal, use modem also same.

me probably soon also - need walkin Lot10 or i read somewhere can email in ..

Going to Lot10 probably on Monday

okay - appreciate the update on the process once u cancelled it.

Thanks for the info.

So in your case, means from 25 October 2023 until today, your connection has not fallen back to 4G at all? Or just that your Yes sim is currently sidelined while testing U Mobile?

It funny - because the drop and change happens quickly and switches back number if times, and oddly enough the app doesnt show any usage of 4G. but i have sudden lag or connection issue in youtube, netflix, hbo go and disney hotstar - maybe the way Yes is being routed, not too sure about this.

so now i just got U mobile - put it in - and none of this problem happens.

i am using Zyxel router for home network. and yes is taken out while i am using u mobile.

While I don't have much issue with Yes now, but I feel like trying out U Home after hearing your feedback.

Previously using Yes too first with zyxel N103e then switched modem to TPLink X50 5G, except for speed( X50 slightly faster) both modem 5G connections not stable..then switched to U Home 5G.. the rest is history

OK, then I need to change to U Home. I paid for one month already, I think I will just use it for a month, easier without any headache for overpayment.

Hi guys. I just started using yes flexi around a month ago. All is good. Bought xyzel modem from shopee. Speed around 400-500. Happy with it as i used unifiair previously with speed just around 30mbps.

So far all stable. But i need to expand the coverage inside my house. I put the router in bedroom no 2, upstair. Downstair at the kichen just got 1 bar or none. Living room 2 bar but speed drop around 80-100mbps only. Can pair xyzel with mesh? Or just buy router like ax55 can also. My house is double storey. Area to cover around 2500sqf both upstair and downstair.

just ordered U home to compare with the Yes that i hv been using for 1 month. Hopefully can get more stable 5G. Currently with tplink x50 the 5G will drop to 4G and i have to restart it until i get 5G again.

so far U Mobile is up to the task to become the anchor internet provider for my home networking- if all goes well, will terminate Maxis Home and Yes 5G soon.

Seems that YES 5G is different in performance compared to U Home 5G. Better I keep U Mobile than switching just to save RM11.00/ month 🙂

Called YesCare line first. After all the verification and spoke to CS, was told to go Lot10.
So don't waste your time calling.

At Lot 10, just need IC for thumb print verification. Provide bank account details (for refund if any).

i wonder if those ppl stay far away from KL then how to cancel it?

Thanks Bar - i guess i will have to make a trip to Lot10 when i come back to KL soon.

how much does it cost for both modem?

u home 5G best among all 5G options? is it truly unlimited?

i also faced similar issue with Yes5G:
cant connect to office vpn, connection to outlook mailbox server always dropping (happen to few laptop with diff outlook account), lazada free rice game cannot load, do speedtest always less than 5mbps in upload speed.

got a UHome 5G sim and voila all issue gone .. speed and latency all similar to fiber.

using the same NR5103E router for both sim above.

very similar situation - i cancelled my Yes account and happy with U + NR combo now

I let you do this test and find out yourself.

YES 5G does allow torrent if you do it nekkid without VPN and speedtests shows full speed if you do them with local servers. It gives a temporary boost for few seconds to allow you to show off and advertise for them the speeds you can get.

Now here's the test to reveal the real dirty trick they silently imposed:

Connect to a overseas VPN/VPS and do the same test across the globe see if you're throttled a not. My results show that you get ADSL speeds with just around 8Mbps at most or worst. Torrents become worst when you turn on your VPN.

U Mobile does the OPPOSITE. Without VPN you can't torrent, but with VPN your speeds and routing gets optimized to the best potential.

I tell you this company cannot be trusted. They always secretly modify their FUP with every possible means to give you less. Got trapped many times before with their previous 100GB 4G Postpaid plans which allowed use in modems but later say your device not in their compatible list of limited devices.

Meaning to say this:

1) Their 5G plan is just for speedtest showoffs and indirect marketing for their company

2) You can torrent with caution for legal files such as linux ISOs and official apps with full speed but beware of being exposed. But once you turn your VPN on, the throttling kicks in and your use will be limited.

3) All connections outside Malaysia are heavily throttled to ADSL speeds around 8Mbps or less with VERY HIGH latency. It's their way of being stingy.
It could be port based though they don't block it to give you fake sense that they don't do speed throttling.

4) Latency is very bad compared to their direct competitor U at LEAST double most times with international servers. It gives indication that their servers can't handle large capacity traffic and their unwillingness to invest more in core network routing equipments.

5) Their 4G network with quota allowance doesn't have this port throttling limitation. You can get full speed with international servers and VPNs because its quota based.

EDIT with additional comments:

My speedtest results without VPN is consistently >500Mbps day long.

When connected to the best VPNs/VPS with 10Gbps servers even closeby countries such as SG, my speedtests dropped to 5 Mbps or less and torrents not moving only getting ard 0.5MB/s.

Something is wrong? Without VPN torrents can reach >30MB/s

Obviously they are implementing port throttling to international servers and only allow fake speedtests.
