the best one right now is Umobile hands down
not only they can use 1st 5G network, they also have upcoming 2nd one which are activating now
price is also 2nd cheapest, just behind yes 5G

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

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

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?
