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.

DNB under Gobind Digital Ministry now

But the thing is TM Fibre is a necessity now bcoz ADSL is no more. Consumers have no where to run bcoz all other ISP home fibre ride on TM's infra. Time only serves high-rise buildings and business users.

5G is another story. Government might treat it as a luxury rather than necessity bcoz 4G network is still around. So I dont think he will intervene.
