That is why the feature to lock band is very useful for modems and your unrooted phone is not.

One of the most LOUSIEST ISP I've ever used.

The Prepaid plan is blocked on most major branded 5G modem (IMEI filtering).
When you insert the SIM into it it'll get barred because of being banned on their network.
Only their Flexi 5G Broadband plan doesn't have this device restriction and it easily costs more than 2X their prepaid offering.

Just this week alone already DOWN 3 times during the last week days. Other ISPs such as Telco U, CD and M also on same DNB 5G network but why they don't need to do so frequent maintenance/downtimes?

What kind of ISP needs to do tuning and maintenance almost every week?

Also expect very high PINGs to occur and very ERRATIC uploads.

You noticed sometimes your upload speed is like only 6mbps on your screenshot? This ISP is very problematic, I'm also experiencing the same thing..if it works I can get 50MBps+ upload but on good days out of sudden my upload can become less than 5Mbps.

Pings is horrible, other ISPs such as Telco U, CD, M is at LEAST 10ms lower on server connections even local ones.

Most 5G ISPs can get below 20ms for local servers, but YES 5G server always more than 20ms sometimes even worst over 30ms during a bad day like now.

All 5G coverage is the same, just that this YES service always goes down and experience bad upload speeds and extra high latency.

You can get less than 20ms latency to local servers but YES close to 30ms and above.

Recently just few days latency to local server shot to over 40ms after the MS global outage incident. Not sure if they were affected as well.

Very slow uploads encountered over the weekend sometimes even less than 1 Mbps.

Failed ISP. Other telcos also share same DNB infra as them why theirs no such incidents and frequent downtimes?

The E stands for "Enhanced" for the 3 UK unit.

The 3 UK set uses a newer Mediatek T750 instead of stock Zyxel branded NR5103 which is believed to be older Snapdragon X50 based.

Newer in the sense that it supports more 5G bands. Stability and signal pulling strength, the Snapdragon one performs better and it has 4X4 MIMO WiFi instead.

Yes is known for being the most notorious and very aggressive in banning grey IMEIs for the past few years.

If you still manage to use a mobile plan SIM on some unknown brand modem, count your days lucky one day suddenly when you experience throttling till dialup speeds to almost unusable or blocked then you should figure out your SIM has been discovered to be inserted in an unregistered modem device.

There are many ways the ISP can detect rogue hotpots and mobile plans being abused as fixed lines.

IMEI, TTL, packet size, etc.Even your browser useragent headers..

So enjoy your rogue device while it's still working. Once your data usage gets extreme, they'll eventually find out because you'll stand out among the average user.

Years back even on a Postpaid Mobile Kasi Up 100GB quota plan with nothing said about not being able to hotspot in their T&C also got throttled.

For all mobile plans they probably only maintain a green list of mobile phone model IMEIs and if they discover some grey non registered IMEI excessively transferring data, you'll be blocked.This method they will observe your usage quietly and see if you got abuse it with heavily downloading a not, with one eye closed.

For those who inserts the SIM into an blocked IMEI in MCMC's list straight will get block, you won't even be able connect to the network. Your phone will register blank network or "no network".

Let me share more about this exclusive unlimited traffic for certain apps such as Google, Youtube, FB, Instagram and Whatsapp.

They made them unlimited was because our telcos had deals with these socmed companies to share their customers info and data with their partners and in return get subsidized partially for the intelligence exchange.

Many people didn't know that all their daily messages and activities were being shared with advertisers, govt agencies and interested parties willing to pay for the free services they used daily.

It's all monetized.

Here's one example: Pokemon Go wasn't your typical game it was secretly used by intelligence agencies and military to train AI mapping of places they wanted to survery and duped civillians into going to thoese areas by placing a virtual pokemon there.
