Guess like the reduction is a nationwide thing done on internal system - I was on Paradigm JB right now, and the bandwidth is also reduced.
 QUOTE(Anime in HD @ Sep 28 2025, 04:06 AM) Not much difference for speed...maybe about 30~50mbps...before this can get 300mbps easily during off-peak hours...and, they still got split 4G/5G data usage for Hotlink user...While, Maxis no split data..atleast, 5G no 100mbps speed capped like CD...but, U is win bcoz got their own 5G network now... As you said, the capacity is slightly reduced (by around 75Mbps - it depends on the modulation Maxis is using) - but for those who live in already congested areas and using 4G, even the slightest reduction of bandwidth is going to be felt, very significantly. But yeah, as with you, I also have fibre at home - this doesn't really matter me - unless I am outside. This is last month test...evening usually 150mbps speed...now with 10mhz bw...for sure much slower...above speed test max i get just 280mbps...im on fiber... don't mind anyway...now many company cut cost... encourage user use 5G...that is not exist inside building...

QUOTE(Epic_winner091 @ Sep 27 2025, 10:18 PM) Also 10 MHz in Shah Alam. Actually CelcomDigi only have 35MHz max on B3, and 20MHz on B1 after bandwidth adjustments - they will still have B7 via Altel only (they will no longer own that spectrum). That's why they have to cap on 100Mbps Speeds are worse too. Meanwhile folks on Celcomdigi get to enjoy 2 20x20 MHz of B3 + 20x20 MHz of B1 + 2 20x20 MHz of B7.

QUOTE(PJng @ Sep 28 2025, 05:00 PM) Are digi really cap 100mbps? Officially for prepaid and some entry level postpaid plans, CelcomDigi did cap to max 100Mbps. Some of location still very good, download software update still over 20MB/s, so is not fake speed |

QUOTE(Epic_winner091 @ Sep 28 2025, 06:16 PM) Berjaya huh? Not sure how it works but, are they going to repurpose it for U Mobile or something? Last time I had U Mobile they also only have 10 MHz of B7. Another possibility - Maxis, U Mobile are going to get that released CelcomDigi spectrum (?)In fact recent developments (for example being awarded as the company responsible of second 5G network) has resulted on U Mobile become the largest holder of mobile spectrum in Malaysia. |

QUOTE(Epic_winner091 @ Sep 29 2025, 07:55 PM) Wonder why they decided to stop leasing, what can Redtone even do with it. Maybe the agreement between Maxis/Redtone has expired - hence they choose to stop leasing/renegotiation is in process.And if Maxis is not leasing, what can Redtone do with their spectrum? Are they are going to let it idle? Letting it idle is just a waste of spectrum - Unlike Yes or Unifi Mobile, Redtone is not going to build a mobile network, just like Altel. |

QUOTE(jasontanky @ Sep 29 2025, 05:19 PM) That spectrum is not useful U Mobile, repurposing that spectrum will require U Mobile to move its spectrum as well. It is definitely useful for U Mobile - without having to move that spectrum. For Maxis, maybe not so much (they have to add carrier - but extra spectrum is always good). The regulator may ask REDtone to move anyway so that Maxis also get 20MHz.I use uplink for easier depiction MHz Owner 2500-2510 Redtone (Was leased to Maxis) 2510-2520 Maxis 2520-2530 U Mobile 2530-2540 Celcom 2540-2560 Altel (Leased to CelcomDigi) 2560-2570 Digi |

https://www.thestar.com.my/business/busines...trum-assignment Maxis will soon have 25MHz X2 on 2100MHz. Maxis already have pre existing 15MHz X2, and recent news have reported they have accepted/secured 10MHz X2 from MCMC. This probably explains why Maxis stopped renting spectrum from REDtone. It is likely that Maxis gets the spectrum that was released from CelcomDigi - resulting on contiguous 25MHz spectrum - Maxis will very likely soon expand their 2100MHz to 20MHz X2 and 5MHz X2 (or 15MHz X2 + 10MHz x2).

QUOTE(Epic_winner091 @ Oct 4 2025, 04:27 PM) I think it makes more sense for them to do 15 + 10. Using 20 alone leaves you with 5 MHz of wasted spectrum. Well, it is possible to use 20MHz + 5MHz (the 5MHz will be primarily used for CA). |

QUOTE(iXora.ix @ Oct 6 2025, 10:42 PM) and can see the maxis 4g is far more stable than 5g The speed of 4G in my area is now very similar to 5G (in fact even faster) - 5G has become overly congested with around 20-40Mbps at times. easily can reach 100mbps even in high density apartment4G still have 60-80Mbps.

 20MHz expansion completed (West JB) - the speed was extremely quick - by a few days they confirmed to have that spectrum, they started to expand area by area. |

QUOTE(sadlyfalways @ Oct 11 2025, 04:05 PM) Maxis is still far far superior compared to Celcom & Digi. Especially in rich Klang valley areas Until now Suria KLCC m&s only got edge for Celcom haha Umobile coverage good la but just too congested with the Banglas QUOTE(NagaK @ Oct 11 2025, 11:56 PM) For me opposite after Celcomdigi marriage Indoor coverage at my Taman far superior than Maxis which always fails in speed test if happen means max 4mbps.LOL where as CD can reach 100mbps down easily Performance is very very subjective in region - in my area the performance of CelcomDigi actually declined (significantly) after merger - while Maxis stayed the same. Before that, Digi actually worked the best in my area - even when they later improved the performance the merged CelcomDigi 4G, it is still poorer than of Maxis 4G. |
