QUOTE(Yaowarat @ Oct 1 2025, 09:31 PM) I tried AIS 5G in Bangkok , even in their lift i can get full bar signal with data as well which previously is totally no signal ( same lift ) . Wonder whats the difference with 5G in Malaysia. . https://www.ais.th/en/about-us/network-tech...er/connectivity .... What is the network coverage of 5G SA?
The network coverage of 5G SA is similar to that of 5G NSA.
5G SA-Compatible Device ... = depending on your 5G device and phone plan, you can access Thailand AIS's 5G SA and/or 5G NSA network, similar to DNB1. But for DNB2 or U Mobile, you need to have a 5G SA-compatible device and high-end phone plan. . |

QUOTE(NoNameSoldier @ Oct 20 2025, 05:56 PM) . More info at ....... https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...ost&p=112292858 , ie the soyacincau news link, eg many of DNB2's/U Mobile's 5G (SA) cell towers in KL are ready but not yet operationally deployed or online, likely because U Mobile subscribers could still connect to DNB1's 5G (NSA) network, which U Mobile had already paid DNB1 for yearly access (at RM233 million per year.?). . |

. Fyi, ....... https://www.thestar.com.my/business/busines...t-dnb-viability - Higher 5G fees expected to support DNB viability
- 7 Nov 2025 PETALING JAYA: Digital Nasional Bhd’s (DNB) fifth generation of mobile networks (5G) minimum commitment fees may need to rise to a still-manageable RM270mil to RM290mil per access seeker to cover cash cost in the financial year 2026 (FY26).
This comes amid ongoing efforts to steer DNB towards financial sustainability following a challenging FY24, which saw the company report a substantial net loss of RM1.21bil (partly due to low revenue recognition) and net cash outflow of RM799mil (despite modest capital expenditure). ... = will Maxis, CD, YES and U Mobile increase prices for new 4G/5G phone plans.? . |
