I just ordered a Yes 5G Flexi SIM and honestly I have no idea what's the speed looks like in my sister's place or hometown. According to the map, it shows they are within 5G coverage area. So, let's see. I also got a Zyxel NR5103E 5G router from Taobao. Let's see how far it fares. If worse comes to worst, I will just cancel Yes 5G Flexi. At least, I have a 5G router now and free to subscribe to any telcos/plans.

I do have a fibre at home but this one is just for on the go plus it is very affordable.

Oops. Let me try for one month first and see how it goes, since I already paid for it.

Got the SIM today and activated it right away, I'm using it in my old iPhone 12 Pro Max while waiting for the router to arrive. The speed captured is around 480Mbps-510Mbps indoor. Not too bad, let's see how far it will fare. Upload speed, not that good around 30Mbps only.

Do you guys have issue of 5G dropping to 4G and the 4G is sometimes unusable? Nothing loads. How to prevent that?

Oh crap. Mine is still OTW to Malaysia.

My problem is that Yes 5G is not stable, it will drop to 4G and becomes unusable. At least, I can see this from iPhone 12PM. I guess I will terminate it after a month and change to U Home.

I am using iPhone 15 Pro Max but not gonna use it for such abuse. This 12PM is just my spare phone. Anyway, this is a temporary solution until I receive my router which will come in a few days.

I just received the Zyxel NR5103e router bought from Taobao, speed tested:



Not too bad, there were a few instances it went above 500Mbps and it is always getting >500Mbps on fast.com

Anyway, the line never drops anymore after I change to the router. Happy with this purchase. It kept dropping when I was using it with iPhone 12 Pro Max.
I got it about RM 510 with airshipped from China.

Yes. So gonna be the same?

Nope. All in already.

Ya, but now around 50-60Mbps upload speed.

Good upload speed. Anyway, this is just a spare line. I have fiber at home.

Ya, those people on Shopee also got from Taobao.

The unit already reset to the factory settings when I got it. 5G is blue color globe. I'm using it today whole day for working, Outlook and Teams all work perfectly.

No drop off anymore after I changed to this router, it did when I was using it in iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Yes, when I put it in my iPhone. The line kept changing between 5G and 4G but now no more.

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

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.

Don't try not to pay anything for telco bills, you will be blacklisted.

Coincidentally, I will be in Bukit Bintang area this weekend, gonna terminate it while I'm there.


OT: Not sure if anyone knows, I'm wondering if I can subscribe to U Home from Berjaya Times Square and get the SIM card on the spot?

Sounds good as it is easier. Since I'll be there this weekend, gonna use this opportunity to do both termination and registration.

Though I don't have really big issue with YES 5G but I'm looking forward to try out U Home as it seems to have more good feedback compared to YES. I will report back soon.

Terminated YES 5G at Lot10 just now and went to BTS to get U Home 68. I will be back at Seremban later to try out the speed. So far, the speed is almost the same as YES.
