Arcadyan Meteor is not available here. is Yeacomm NR330 a worthy buy? given up on this X50

Just sharing with everyone my experience using YES FT5G for the past month on my iPad Pro M4 Cellular. I must say I’m quite impressed with what YES offers at such a price, especially at 5G areas. I’m lucky that most of the places I frequent to has excellent 5G coverage. Some issues I noticed after using if for a month:

1. Sometimes, the 5G coverage suddenly drops to LTE out of a sudden, and it only comes back around 5-10 minutes later.
2. The LTE speeds are abysmal but they did mention it’s limited to 7Mbps
3. 5G can jitter or lose connection out of a sudden even with full bar coverage.

All in all, it’s still a great deal at RM25 (RM30, but minus RM5 with autopay) and I don’t have to worry about quotas with the unlimited data.

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.

I switched from Yes 5G Flexi Broadband to U Home 5G, though they use the same DNB stuff. To be honest, I really feel U Home 5G is miles ahead. Yes, it is RM 10 more than Yes 5G, but it is far more stable. I am happy with it.

+ u home 5g has wider 4g coverage compared to yes. once in awhile if u bring ur router go camping or balik kampung u might end up with no coverage at all, if that place don't have 5g & don't have yes 4g coverage.

sim only plan for me umobile is better than yes. but if u opt for contract with free 5g router, umobile router sux big time compared to yes router. anyway, both router is telco lock & unable to unlock even if the contract period is over. sigh..

Luckily I have my own Zyxel router and happy with it.

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?

yup I'm opting for olax g5018 & choose the non contract sim. better value in the long run & won't be tied down to specific telco in the future.

Anyone know how to change the router's DNS?

I'm considering doing this as well, recently YES 5G has been terrible for me, 5G full bar signal but speed is only 0.5-4MBPS, restarted few times still same, looks like during peak time it's really kind lousy

Just try, nothing to lose anyway, only additional RM 10 extra.

Might apply for this soon but from reading some of the posts here it seems YES 5G quality is not as stable or consistent as other telcos (higher ping, slow uploads, connection randomly dropping to 4G etc) despite running from the same DNB infrastructure lol

U Mobile's 5G Broadband seems like a better option for just RM 10 more but they've clearly stated theres a 1000GB FUP and P2P/torrenting is also blocked it seems.

In any case I'll likely be using it on some cheapo hand-me-down 5G phone as a hotspot. For those doing the same, what are your experiences like? I know that a dedicated 5G router/modem should be better but at the moment the prices are quite crazy to justify getting one for short term usage (~1-3 months).

I have been downloading japanese anime with ease with vpn

Any review for YES RM20 prepaid plan 999GB

how is the 5g speed?

going to try yes at my area

? Do you mean for Yes or U Mobile?
I heard that U Mobile makes it practically impossible to torrent even with VPN.. does the same apply for YES? ie Torrenting on YES network will only be possible if you use a VPN?

Im using UM68 with NordVPN

Hello, just want to say that even though under the DNB setup, everyone is riding on the same radio access, but actually the connection to the core network is separated. So if the core network of a service provider does not have enough processing power to handle the user or the backhaul of the core network is limited in capacity, it can affect the end experience. So it’s not true that all telco are the same when they are all using the same DNB infra.

Any idea what the FUP/quota for the 'Unlimited' actually is?

I recall that CelcomDigi, Maxis and U Mobile have stated in their sites that accounts will be throttled after exceeding 1000GB data usage but there doesn't seem to be any specific figures at all in Yes' website regarding their FUP policy other than some mention of throttling for 'excess usage'..

I've used up until 3500gb (in a month) about 3 months ago, no throttling at all. so it's really unlimited quota if u keeps connected to their 5g.

This is excellent news lol
