QUOTE(tmc @ May 21 2024, 08:24 AM) The last mile of 5G are the same right ? I haven't had access to a Yes sim, but I have a U mobile sim, which I got around 300 Mbps - 600 Mbps. Does it mean there is signal of Yes 5G at my location? Yup, that is the case as both Telco are using DNB's 5G network. But u mobile was just less stable for me back then. Been using Yes5G since Aug'23, so far very stable. |

100mbps fiber is very enough for normal use.
If you renting then can consider 5g |

I switched to Yes 5G Flexi for about 3 months, loss of signal maybe around 3 times less than 10 mins total. Saved about 50 monthly, worth it. Average speed 400/120. No lag playing PUBG. alpha liked this post

Not much different in terms of speed, but saving 41 monthly is significant.

QUOTE(tmc @ May 19 2024, 09:10 AM) Anyone has experience of using 5g for home internet and want to share ? Mobile tech is less reliable and subject to congestion easily unlike fibre service. If you calculate ROI 3 months then can try and stretch until unuseable then subscribe fibre okay. Not a permanent solution.I use and handphone to test my 5g connection, I get around 300-600 Mbps speed in the morning. This is tested in the house where the unifi modem/router is located. In term of cost 300mbps unifi is around rm150 after tax, and I supposed 5g will be around rm50 only after tax. I get saving of rm100 per month, after a few months, it is sufficient to payback the 5g modem/router. Is the calculation correct? |

QUOTE(GalaxyV @ Jun 2 2025, 09:59 AM) another good deal is RM1 per day for unlimited quota/speed RM1 / Day is a surprise deal and may not be always available I'm using RM1 1TB / 9 days nearly one year I'm not an heavy user, work from home but kids watch a lot of Netflix and YouTube without any issues One minor issue my 3UK 5G router may not be stable all the time, but I use ChatGPT to help me write a script to reboot it daily and so far no issue. Noted that Digi provide credit rebate sometimes, make some calculation and use it wisely. This post has been edited by mlamlam: Aug 9 2025, 12:43 AM |
