GSA: 5G Experience June 2024




Ironically with existence of DNB, telco in Malaysia can "claim" to have one of the fastest 5G speed in the world. Yet seeing the 4G data, our telco is not even close to the top 4 of fastest 4G telco.

So why 4G with more competitive environment fail to gain ranking or speed? I thought competition should driven telco to be better yet it's DNB that carrying telco name to the top of the world.

DNB do have 5G SA enabled. Just your telco ready to serve you the service or not? Even U mobile only given to the highest paying customers (P98). Maxis only for business plan with extra RM20
