I have to state a fact that...
If you want coverage, the costs will be freaking high, which means higher price for cust too.
if you want cheap, then there will be limited coverage on rural area due to the costs involved and also on pure business perspective that focus on urban area first.
Remember during COVID the kid climb on the tree to get mobile data to study from home?
In fact gov need to fork out public money to all those MNOs that you all like to fund them to setup network at rural area.
That's what happened when you rely on business driven company to dictate the coverage of the network.
First 4G was launched way back on 2013, but it took about 6 years to just reach that 82%, then after JENDELA funding only push to 97%...
Meanwhile DNB manage to achieve the 80% coverage in under 3 years...Why? Because it focus on coverage regardless of business needs.
Money don't drop from the sky,

Telcos are not interested to setup their coverage in low return areas. They are business entities, not charity. This explains the gap in 4G coverage.
Some form of government intervention is needed.
Take rural Sarawak for example. Some areas only have few remote rumah panjang with families up to 100-200 people. No telco would want to setup coverage there.
