Fyi, not much has changed from 2018 to 2021 or 2023, wrt 360p suiting mobile devices/smartphones, even though most smartphone screens today are 720p or 1080p. .......

360p
Suited for mobile devices for users whose internet is decent but not too fast. The video quality is better than what you will get in 240p. We don’t recommend 360p on laptops and Smart TVs as the quality will suffer. Use 360p when you want to save bandwidth costs.

480p
We suggest 480p for mobile devices if most of your users have a good internet connection.

720p
This is the beginning level of HD resolution, known as the standard HD and HD ready. 720p is best suited for laptops and PCs with a decent internet connection.

1080p
This is probably the most commonly used resolution in smartphones nowadays. 1080p is also known as Full HD and represents a higher quality and sharpness than the standard HD. It is best suited for laptops, PCs, and Smart TVs with a good internet connection. ...

no...

i dont think so.


2 person. 2 telco
test 5G same place, will get different speed.

5G Tower only a factor in final actual speed you get.
there are MANY other Factor.

My personal opinion...give so much data like my package last time also useless. Either full signal but speed so low or low signal thus low speed. Imagine 4g speed still 100-500kB/s. Switched to Digi can rasa 1MB/s and above but that is few years ago punya cerita

Donno, anyone here from telco know if maxis/celcom/digi paying DNB different amounts from the rest?

why do you need 200gb
i watch porn also cant finish 60gb

.
This one is likely because of 4G network traffic congestion due to many active users during peak traffic hours, ie full signal but speed so low. A few years ago, the Postpaid DIGI Infinite 150 plan was very popular.
....... In due time, the same traffic congestion problem will afflict the 5G network. So, enjoy your 500Mbps 5G speeds while you still can.

THIS

Fyi, watching Youtube videos at 360p on my 6" smartphone is quite clear. To me, watching the same at 720p is a waste of bandwidth, data and battery power.

Let me explain Internet Infra at a Glance:

1) At National Level.
There will be a appointed wholeseller of "Bandwidth", or a group of company owing the access of country level back-bone network ( the under sea cable )



This is how Malaysian can connect to Internet. Regardless type of connection u use ( 4g,fiber, 5g )


2) Bandwitdh allocation At ISP Level ( Telco )


This explain how ISP provide their user to access internet ( regardless of connection type )


So, Example TELCO A only purchase 1TB/s daily bandwidth.
and they have 2 million user. Regardless on connection type... All Telco A's user sharing the 1TB/s bandwidth.
- Telco A can have various plan to manage EACH User Max speed limit.


3) Concurrent User
Also , the in the same Area, Depend on number of concurrent user, it also challenge the telco's switch, router capicity at that area.



So, Example:

If i using 1Gbps LAN connection to my router. Transfer from Device A to B ( i may get max speed )
But, if 12 person in same House, all 1Gbps, all use same time. Nobody getting Max Speed.


5G is just a Network Connection Technology. IT DOESNT guarantee your actual SPEED

All Telco use same 5G tower, still depend on each Telco own Bandwidth alloc, concurrent user number, and their Hardware capacity.


-----------------------------

Please stop the nonsense, all Telco 5G use same infra = Same 5G
Many Fiber also use TM infra, different Quality also..

I hope nobody think 5G allow them to connect to Internet DIRECTLY..
Nope. 5G only the connect to 5G tower (stop) (the rest would be cable connection from this point )
then Telco Infra, then IPX (internet exchange point), then submarine cable

As I mentioned, do you know the relative amounts the telcos are paying DNB? Is it the same for all of them?

Dnb not the final factor

the final factor is still the bandwidth to submarine cable

not yet being banhammer/block by them. many years already.

i use my ipad around and stream PS5 game full HD ,

i sign up package 98/ 1000GB

The way I see it, all the rest of the factors will affect all telcos roughly equally.

What will make a difference is the amount each telco will sign up for in their contracts.

If telco A signs up for 10x the usage capacity of telco B, but it has 20x the customers, that may lead to some artificial throttling further down the line.

But currently 5G adoption is still low, by the time you see an impact just mnp la aiyo. For now, maybe the smart thing to do would be to shop around for the best offer. If your place has a good strong 5G signal and you have the equipment, just go with the cheapest 5G offer.

If you still need 4G, and you move around a lot, maybe stick with maxis, celcom or digi until they iron things out.

Just my 2 cents.

2023 still got data cap. Pathetic.

.

Yes home mostly have wifi, outdoor i don't keep using phone unless needed data for tng app public parking purpose and so on , just i have no habit keep watching my phone , reaching home also leave it there and watching TV or using PC , me also don't play phone game.

the 5g still connect to the same infra as 4g from same telco

get it????


eg, telco b speed were terrible in certain area
5g cant fixed that

but i acknowledge telco B may alloc more resources to its 5g user to impress them.


but u guys didnt get the point
in best case, 5G may not the bottleneck factor of ur connection speed.


didnt u guys curious? why we are very far from 5G full speed??

Coverage. For now 5G is cheaper than 4G, but 4G coverage > 5G coverage. Which is why Celcom, Digi and Maxis can still charge a premium.

Download speeds are only gimmicks to win over consumers. You are worried about the difference between 300 Mbps and 500 Mbps on a phone? Seriously?

I really couldn't care less about 5G full speed on my phone. Phone package from telco A at half the price of telco B? Deal me in. 100 Mbps on my phone vs 500 Mbps on your phone? Yeah, I'll try not to lose too much sleep over that.

edit:

Yes it can. In a lot of cases, if you have good coverage, terrible speeds may be due to congestion. For now, 5G is still underutilized. And we still do not know if any telco will/has undersubscribed or oversubscribed data usage capacity from DNB.
