u mobile already has very weak 4G
you want try their 5G??
any, any person who Understand how 5G works.
WOULD NEVER go for 5G mobile.

unless for following reason :
1) u only use 5G on a static location, and you already tested its performance.

Reason for not using 5G :
1) 5G is the weakest Mobile Signal of ALL generation. High Bandwith but WEAKEST Signal Strength

The Myth behind Speed :
1) The Server/IPX bandwidth.
( CHECK Sungai Besi Toll, 10 lane into 4 lane ) Jam mah??
10 lane = 5G Connection
4 lane = Actual Server Resource to process data request
Why i dont go 5G
1) i stay inside building most of the time. Even inside building, Umobile 4G is very weak..... not to mention 5G lah...

5G the same for all telcos. All under DNB.

You are only paying extra for digi/celcom/maxis 's 4G coverage.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
