Hi,
Recently, my office Fibre (cable) having problem again! I'm tired to pay extra money for replacement again!

Any Wireless method (Telco & Plan) recommended?

Fiber down and need to pay for replacement? What replacement are you talking about?

I'm more interested to know why you need to pay for fibre cable problem

Old building. Fibre Optic Cable thin I guess, and the distance far & long from point to point, cause it easy broken I think? How much around they quoted you know? RM1000+, crazy right? Both Maxis & TM.

That's why I need alternative way!

All wireless (simcard) broadband usually got FUP (1000gb or 2000gb). Seems not recommended for office usage.

Maybe can try yes? It shows unlimited & no FUP for 5G but for 4G got 500gb FUP

Ah~ I read a little bit about this info too, not sure it's true? Ok,will check out Yes then 😊

First time heard fibre down and not own problem need to pay
Use unifi so many year, when unifi staff come to check when down, i never pay anything as not my problem

It's about Fibre Cable broken not the service or signal itself! As they said la ðŸĪ”

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

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

you gotta change your stock router ( that is given by them ) they sucks big time

get asus or tp-link mid range router and you will be fine
this one also ok-best value wifi 6 router right now, at RM 322.60 it is a good deal for that specs

review

ASUS RT-AX59U Review: AX4200 with a sleek design


Despite not having any visible antennas, the Wi-Fi signal on the RT-AX59U is excellent. In fact, the Wi-Fi range outperforms the ASUS RT-AX57 which is a Wi-Fi 6 AX3000 wireless router with 4 external antennas. The RT-AX59U serves as a good example of how good engineering can achieve superior performance while maintaining a sleek, unobtrusive appearance without antennas.

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

the thing is, TS ask for office, so quota is important.

if got fup 1000gb and finished before next cycle, how? whole office share using 512kbps? sweat.gif
*
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 used to work in company that sell own branded wireless product and wireless router was one of them. I was in customer service and solved problem faced by customers. Well, my router probably not the latest 802.11ax but like many high end 802.11ac generation router, many 802.11ax have been incorporated inside the router even before the 802.11ax standard was ratified. I'm still using my old GT-AC5300AC and it can cover my whole two-floor house with at least 200Mbps.
*
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

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) ðŸĪŠ

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

QUOTE(yongchin89 @ Oct 9 2025, 06:06 PM)
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.
*
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.
