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Working classes will find them more useful and cost effective than continue paying RM105 for a slow outdated 30M plan such as Maxis.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

Did yes use unisoc?

Anyone know 7 days return policy? I would like to test the performance within 3-4 days using their modem. If satisfied then will proceed.

You should check their t&c, last time I read it it's only applicable when cannot connect and used quota less than 10GB, with YTL cunning customer service, they will trick and lock you with the contract not letting you leave.

Go in to yes shop and snap their modem imei and check, their modem using quectel RG500q-Eu chipset. If your house got 5G and ur phone able to detect then should be the same for the modem

www.yes.my/ms/docs/faq/pelan-yes-wireless-fibre/yes-5g-wireless-broadband-gateway-postpaid-service-plan/

not fair contract
test for 7 days then must pay the rest of 773 days

I’m using ip 12 pro to test, speedtest managed to get 800-900mbps most of the time. Just wondering the modem is capable to get same or higher speed.
Thinking to buy seperate modem and subscribe Flexi instead.

I believe it would be a better deal if u chose flexi
Does not save much by tied up with 2 yrs contract

No contract tie plan always better plan.

Been a U98/UHome user since February, Yes 58 Flexi for 1 week. Equipment 5Gee Mediatek T750, Huawei CPE Pro 2 Balong 5000, Huawei P40 Pro Balong 5000. 200metres unobstructed to DNB mast, 250metres to U (B1,B3,B7,B8)/Yes (B38,B40) 4G mast

U Mobile
1. Frequently drops to 4G throughout the day to utilize their 4G network and carrier aggregation on all 4 bands B1,B3,B7,B8 around 100-150Mbps. Hardly noticeable, even the latency is around 25ms on U 4G compared to 12-19ms on DNB

2. Torrenting not allowed unless connected via VPN

3. Top speed tested is 1.4Gbps, but day to day use 400-600Mbps. During weekends and holidays, 300-400Mbps download.

Yes
1. Has not dropped to 4G at all in the past week. Yes 4G only works on either B38 or B40 for me. There is no B20 in my area and I have not seen aggregation on Yes 4G so far. 4G speeds around 30-60Mbps with 40-60ms latency.

2. Torrenting allowed. With good seeders, download is around 25MB/s (around 200+Mbps)

3. Top speed tested 1.2Gbps, day to day use 700-800Mbps. Same DNB mast, but on their end, traffic is not as heavy as U.

4. DOES NOT SUPPORT PLAYSTATION NETWORK. Can log in and download games, but refuse to connect to most multiplayer games. Even if connected, will have difficulty staying in the same party as your friends. Unable to upload videos or screenshots from PS5. The only workaround is lock band onto Yes 4G (Band 38, 40) and PSN will work.

5. Yes FT5G had the tendency to prefer DNB B28 for 4G signals. Yes 5G Flexi tends to connect only to their own B38, B40 for 4G.

6. Having used YES FT5G Prepaid in 2022 alongside my Unifi back then, I'm aware of all the sketchy things YTL likes to do. Unannounced throttling, sudden internet blackout, quietly changing terms and adding FUP etc. Get the RM58 and enjoy the unlimited FUP while you can, you never know when they will change their terms.

Speed of YES 4G(Single band) and YES 5G(B28+N78)

Testing Yes Flexi for 3 days d, I notice that it will terminate and establish the connection almost everyday, time was around 1am for these 3days, did your yes having these problem? Average speed was around 400-500mbps. These 3 days had been use more than 1TB data d, no speed throttle yet.

Would like to ask:-

1. Does YES using private ip? or CGNAT just like TM Unifi?
2. Network test on PS5 resulting w NAT Type 3?

Mobile network should be mostly cgnat

Hi anyone tried else using this for ps5 /psn? Because I was using 5g tether from celcom and had been working flawlessly thinking to convert to full 5g home network.

For these Yes or U, do they have test unit to try if my place got line or not? if after subscription then found out coverage poor then how?

If your phone support 5G and the signal and speed at your place good, then same for u and yes.

I am looking for wireless 5G stationed at 1 place, not for phone.

Poor for Celcom 4G almost no line, phone call will break. no 5G.
ok for Digi 4G but must be fixed on 2600Mhz, if connected to 1800Mhz then poor. 5G signal is poor.
Moderate for Maxis.

To be used at putrajaya high level building. Ground floor everything is strong 5G full bar but on high level the signal becomes poor.

Without test unit then cannot confirm the modem will get good signal or not...

Understand what u looking at. But u and yes doesn’t have test unit but their plan got no contract except for yes infinite gateway that come with yes modem.


For me, before changing from fibre to 5G, I test my house 5G signal using my phone 5G signal and speed as reference, my phone 5G signal was umobile and digi, both 5G signal 4out of 5bar at upstair, downstair no 5G signal at all, and speed in between 400-600mbps.

Then with deco x50 5G modem, the signal and speed result with yes flexi 5G almost the same with my phone.

If your unit have weak 5G coverage, or ur phone hardly get 5G signal then with modem would be likely the same. Is better ask around who got the 5G modem and borrow from them to test.

To all yes flexi user, did your check the yes app? Under data, it show 4G:unlimited/5G tap for balance. And I had set to 5G only mode, but still generate 15.5GB 4G data.

eh so this YES Flexi is really having difficulty to play multiplayer game with PSN? any other owner can confirm this?

can torrent with YES Flexi?

Thinking to subscribe either YES Flexi or Uhome 5g, wonder who is better

For those with issues on the PSN network - have you guys tried a VPN? Are the issues still persistent?

I'd highly recommend getting a VPS in Singapore (way better routing, peering, speeds and pricing compared to shitty MY VPS providers) if you want a solid reliable and fast VPN. Use Wireguard as the VPN software.

Even on Time fiber 1Gbps, I can sometimes can better speeds to certain locations/servers when connected through my VPN.

YES 5G has very poor coverage in PJ. My bar is full but i could only get below 100 mbps.

Anyone can comment between Zyxel NR5103e and ZTE MC801A 5G modem?

Currently I am using Huawei B618 with U home 5G connect 4G B28 and B7 can reach 80-104mbps. If change to auto 4G+ only can get 30-45mbps.

Looking for excellent 5G modem to replace my B618, TPlink X50 not my first choice because I has my own mesh wifi networking at home.

Zyxel using mediatek t750. Zte using sdax55 from qualcomm. Both doesn’t support easymesh. If NR5103 support easymesh.

tplink nx510v also support easy mesh if not mistaken

but for both nr5103e and mc801a, i think nr5103e (three) has better firmware.

The ping so high, look like 4G connection

I use Zyxel, so far so good. Currently still using U home to test it out. I dont know about ZTE. I bought Zxyel because it is cheaper

As long as it works.

Just wonder, how's the bufferbloat on 5G network?
Can u share the result if got time?

https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat

Here you go. Tested via LAN connection.

Not bad, can gaming at 5G now, the jitter on unloaded so low, lower than my WiFi lol.

From their modem firmware model:



Seems the oem modem is supplied by Quectel 50Q Series which is a partner of Qualcomm.

https://www.quectel.com/product/5g-rm50xq-series

But it's old series already at least 2 years behind.

Latest news from Quectel they just launched their latest SOC Feb this year employing Qualcomm's Snapdragon X75/72 modem inside.

Quectel announces 2nd gen of 5G NR modules
https://www.quectel.com/news-and-pr/5g-rele...rg650v-fwa-embb

Back in 2021, they launched a earlier version with Snapdragon X65/62

A year earlier with SD X55..

Most modems out there currently is at 2-3 generations behind using the old Snapdragon X55 chipsets. Now the very latest is the Snapdragon X70 Series 5G-Advanced with AI enabled processor.

Hi, i just received my YES Flexi 5G sim card (data only). i insert it to my iphone 13 but internet not working.... the sim card only works when place in 5G router? i tot of testing the signal before i buy a TP-link router.... it is costly.... so i hope the 5G signal is ok at my place 1st.....

This post has been edited by Solskjaer66: Sep 27 2023, 09:45 PM

Volte : on

Thinking get one. Prepaid drain so fast

this plan can call n sms ? can international roaming ?

This won’t work. 5g will connect momentarily and disconnect. Then you cannot get any signal at all, unless you put in a modem. I tried that.

Nope, can only put in modem or router, cannot use in phone. It doesn’t even come with proper phone number.



The 000832… is the supposed phone number.

it's should work in iPhone.
it's good that the sim don't come with other function. then we won't have to pay other fee.

My prepaid

boardband plan or mobile plan ?

I tested it out on my iPhone. Didn’t work. Feel free to try it out yourself.

previous post said need set correct apn

will try once receive my bb sim. prepaid sim work like charm in my iphone13

Mobile prepaid

Shoild be auto, apn is yesnet

Just put an order for RM58 package to try out. if not getting 5G then will cancel it. I wonder how to register new user, either the website or app can't register. Is that only with yes simcard then only can register?

its regisiter via app.

Very easy. Just follow the email they sent to you.

The email is sent by them after having sim card? i just can't figure out how to register now. on app 1st page is "new user" and "log in". under new user cannot find how to register...

yes, wait til you receive the sim card.... it will tell you to register and scan the bar code on the card.

this is register your yes account. once you receive your sim . u just need to activate your sim card by scanning the bar corde will do.

you can manage all your yes number by sign in your yes account. one of user friendly app like yoodo, celcom. one account to manage all numbers.

just 2 days. got unknown charges. what is it ya ?

Received the simcard and finally done the registration. it works on my tablet & phone, but no signal on ZTE MU5002 mobile router donno what happened. reset the router also won't work. I see youtube someone used MU5001 and works with Yes, how come not working on 5002. difference is only LAN port between 2 models.



This post has been edited by iiee: Oct 6 2023, 02:10 PM

probably your mu5002 not support b28

They are trying to align your billing date. It’s actually a few days ahead. So they prorated the days until the actual billing date.

Anyone using Deco X50-5G router for Yes?

thanks for information. first time use post paid plan. all the while using prepaid.

Me… been using it for 5 days.

yay thanks. performance ok ka? The size is too big hard to hide in the office. need to hide under the desk and steal steal pull external antenna to get the signal. mobile router would be easy but donno why my ZTE MU5002 just refused to work with Yes5G can't even get 4G.

The size is actually smaller than I tot… just like 2 roll of toilet paper… haha. And light weight also. Easy to carry when needed… but of cos not pocket size lah. Performance wise…. I can get around 300mb in my living room. I don’t try to place somewhere else for better reception…. Cos 200 or 300mb is good enough for me… as long as it is higher than 100 mb. I use my Yes prepaid SIM card can get 600mb outside the house.
Connection is superb. Very stable. More reliable than my maxis fiber earlier. Always disconnect

How to charge ?

I use this in the office because office wifi has firewall many places cannot go. But this router size is too obvious so i need to find way to hide it from IT dept and only pull long wired external antenna to get the signal. with built in antenna I can get about 250mbps with 5G, but the signal is not strong enough sometimes dropped to 4G about 40mbps.

Just found out TPlink X50-5G can lock the band! wow this feature is not found in many other brands. Now i can lock to 5G band NR78 and will not (hopefully) switch to 4G anymore. Superb.

****UPDATE****
Nope it doesn't lock the band, it is just for display purpose. No meaning at all

This post has been edited by iiee: Oct 12 2023, 10:59 AM

Same experience for me on NX510v, can’t really lock band.

blacktubi I think your review mentioned that X50-5G can lock band right? Probably good to update that.

I didn't mention that NX510V can lock band

But Deco X50-5G definitely can lock band

But no point to lock band for 5G cause there's only 1 band now

Read my sentence again and read the post I tagged.

I never say that you claim NX510v about anything.

Speed test , using my Samsung fold 4 as modem.

I also have Deco X50-5G. Mine cannot lock band. All the bands that are supposed to be selected does not appear in the Deco app. Just blank.

Tested with umobile home 5g and also celcom xpax prepaid sim card

It will only show you the available band to lock onto

When it's on 5G, there's only 1 band available, so there's no point to lock band

However, my band locking and selecting CA combo does work on 4G on Celcom and DiGi. What firmware you use?

Mine.. after searching for available band then it goes just blank. Does not show any band to select.

Firmware version:
1.1.0 Build 20230804 Rel. 3600

This post has been edited by mydri: Oct 12 2023, 05:56 PM

The reason to lock the 5G band is to prevent it from switching to 4G band and dropped to 4G. When both 4G and 5G signals are available, the router will switch to stronger signal that it "thinks" better. In my case 5G only 3 bars but working better than 4 bars 4G.

Confirm cannot lock band? scratch off the list

either zte or yeacomm then

There's a separate feature for you to choose 4G or 5G, not the same menu as the band selection.

Edit: It's under the network mode menu where you can choose 5G preferred, 5G only or 4G only. It's working properly for me. Can you try using 5G only and report back?

When I test the router on a SIM card without 5G plan. It does not even connect to the 4G network when 5G only mode is selected.

Feel free to share your finding as I am curious as well.

Contact TP-Link support, cause it's working properly for me on the same firmware.

Mine does not have 5G only.
The available option:
5G preferred
4G only



Mine below the toggle Auto just blank
