not really

Last time local and SPR really enjoyed more or less same perk. But now no longer the case since about 10 year or so ago.

Breaking - Yes have quietly activated 5G SA/Advanced on Yes prepaid plan (my plan is the old Prihatin prepaid) - if you haven't get the "yes 5g advanced" indicator - then you will need a new Android device with latest software installed/wait for their prepaid roll out. iPhones are not currently supported.

5G SA or “True 5G” runs on a brand-new network brain called 5GC. This 5GC powers both data and phone calls entirely using 5G. It also fully utilises all the 5G spectrum bands, including the crucial 700MHz band, enabling wider coverage and superior stability.

5G Advanced builds on 5G SA as the next evolution of 5G.

5G Advanced offers several improvements over today’s 5G, including:
Stronger indoor penetration, broader outdoor coverage

So DNB 5G 700mhz SA already turn ON ?

Those with Yes postpaid/broadband can already use 5G SA @ 700MHz since Oct 2025, and joining from today, Yes prepaid customers. As long as you have a Yes SIM and compatible 5G device (some devices needed a software update) - you can use 5G SA with DNB network.

5G SA is long up for DNB's network - it is up to individual telcos to activate it.

DNB gained another 100MHz spectrum.
So
3300-3400 DNB (newly gotten)
3400-3500 DNB (existing)
3500-3600 UM Ultra 5G (U Mobile native)

Maxis rebranded their 5G-SA with Maxis 5G PRO!

Hopefully it's bring positive change to Speed & coverage...

DNB 5G is almost practically "useless" in most urban high traffic areas....

Need to use back 4G LTE
