The problem I dont like about DNB is ;
1. They are not run like non-profit organisation. In fact their CEO pay is like 1 of those telco CEO pay. The cost of operating DNB for profit will be passed on to consumers.

2. No competition for 5G services among telcos. Example : If im not happy with Maxis 5G speed and coverage , even if I port out to Digi , it will be the same because all of them are served by DNB. Knowing DNB , their attitude will be " rilek la " , no incentive to improve becoz of monopoly.

When I was in Aussie , I could reach speeds up to 900+mbps DL on 5G. In Malaysia , most of time only 200mbps on download if im lucky.

I see no incentive for DNB to buck up and improve 5G speed.

TM fibre manage to up their speed significantly and reduce prices for home users only bcoz Gobind Singh kick their arses.  DNB ??? Nobody bothers with them at all.

I agree with you, with recent Meta whistleblower hearing talking about Meta relationship with China. Having Huawei equipment directly into Malaysia network is doesn't sounds convincing privacy and security wise. I know the hate for USA is currently high but ignoring these concerns doesn't solve the long terms issue with Huawei equipment.

Telco spent 10B including coverage and capacity expansion. DNB spent 16B only on coverage not inclusive indoor. Not even equivalent comparison.

UM has plenty of LTE bands can be used for LTE-CA in NSA, seems more promising in terms of of capacity, also they can refarm to 5G SA easily all under their control. While DNB only has 700mhz and cant CA with existing telco LTE bands which is sad due to different vendor. That is why no telco wants DNB also cause using Ericsson - no future just alone.

Too many telco under DNB making things complicated, cant move, everyone has own agenda. Not really a good thing.
