Thanks for recommending! So, Umobile is reliable? Have you tried before?

Thanks 👍 so does it mean, get the stronger router might give a better result if 5G is with me? Any Telco will do?

Ya lo! Although the usage wasn't so extreme la, but just in case some heavy project in future!
So, basically, 1000GB is the limit to all Telco?

I see! 200Mbps not bad , right?

i'm using it right now
replying this message using it

it's literally a fiber that you can move around

your router aint chapalang spec bro, tri band+1gb ram summore cam easily handle normal traffic

it might be older but the specs surpassed many of these basic or even mid spec router of 2025

second hand price is hovering around rm400+

either yes or umobile for 5G home/office broadband

need to check your coverage, but these two coverage pretty wide.

Wow... Did you test the speed?
How about the plan/price/contract?

So, as you are experiencing it right now, will you highly recommend it? I'm suffering with no internet connection these days (only could hooked up with mobile hotspot) 🤪

speed depends on how many bars you can get at your place
there is only 1 plan available for umobile which cost RM72.1 every month including tax

i've been using this for more than a year already
it's actually my daily internet because i don't want to pull fiber

Cable outside your premise is covered by ISP. If any broken within your premise only then is u self pay.
I dont care how far outside, but as long as Fiber it should not have any drop in bandwidth. If copper maybe best effort 3pmbps max

Since the installation of the 5G station near my area, my modem has consistently displayed a full signal, and the service has been so far so good. Consequently, I have terminated my fiber optic service.

The stupid thing is the antenna design. Small SMA connector but big antenna. Over time the plastic around connector become brittle and broken. Have to buy from China for replacement and it is not cheap either around RM11 each

When I looked at WiFi6, the most significant one probably just multiple upload which WiFi5 does not support. I'd just wait for WiFi7. Actually, I'd just delay my purchase to get better price and another main reason is if your device does not support new spec, what's the point to rush getting new upgrade.

I checked the GT-AC5300 yesterday on Shopee and to my surprised it was still priced at RM2000 . Maybe wrong shop. I bought at least 2 years ago for probably RM1500 (could not recall)

most prob he not unifi customer

i with maxis every time break some jakun tm guy will come and extort money

1 year 3 times break, each time we had to pay 600

finally 4th time i say no payment to maxis, and after fighting with unifi they came themselves and fixed the fibre, which i dont think they were allowed to do, but who cares haha free for me. actual quality work too maxis did compared to unifi

most fomo fellas wont understand this. they are easily duped by the telco to "upgrade" to wifi6/7 package without knowing the real deal. die die need to have latest stock router which is sampah grade.

yours using external fan or not?

How abt gaming? ping good? during rain gaming how? any slowdown on speed during peak hour?

the free MC88 router can cover 2 storey house?

gaming, i think they recently released a gaming router for that plan
but can't comment because never use before
but 1 thing is for sure, the ping for 5G is significantly better than 4G but still cannot be as low as fiber

i think slowdown part depends on how crowded your place are...for me no, only sometimes

No extra fan or anything and I have no air-cond in hall. Just ceiling fan and breeze from window

Great 👍
So, you are using your own router? Most probably don't get their router, right?

Say, if I'm an UMobile user, my phone 5G speed (likely 80Mbps - 100Mpps) is exactly the speed that I'll receive ?

at 1st i'm using their MC888 but because the place i'm staying cannot receive strong 5G signal
so i bought my own that has snapdragon chip inside and that really boost the 5G signal
if your place can get full bar using low end chip, u don't really need to get your own router

so the speed not only depends on your signal, it depends on your chip the device is using
so your phone is what phone and using what chipset inside?

currently cheapest is celcomdigi and umobile, buy a prepaid first to test your office area network strength.
They advertised as unlimited but FUP is 1TB limit. for router, i recommend to buy your own, Huawei is the best.

Oh, I see... My phone with Snapdragon and Signal seems Ok!

Just sort out, YES & CelcomDigi offered the best price! In fact, YES bundle Router seems not bad (some users reviewed). So, I'm also considering it! As I know , Umobile given Huawei Router.

maybe can consider Unifi Air Biz 5G, my customers using it and so far so good

for high rise building, normally fiber internal wiring not belong to unifi/maxis/TIME so if any problems with it, either building management or tenant/owner need to bear the re-wiring cost

recently I have 3 customers need do re-wiring (2 old buildings and 1 new buildings) and one of them is a tenant but need pay RM7k for re-wiring because building management and landlord no willing to bear the re-wiring cost

if your phone uses snapdragon thn it's better your get your own 5G router
