I have switch from Time to Yes 5G using CP502 since May. I WFH 71% of the time and I have only encountered around 7 interruptions a few mins disconnection. I have never encountered any slowness. My speedtest is always around 300-400mbps down and about 60-110mbps up.

I have line of sight to the tower and distance about 1.5KM away.

This switch save me about 41 ringgit every month.

Currently I am on Time Fiber 200mbps paying RM99 per month.

However, the speed/stability in the farther rooms are not that great due to walls/distance (but still stable and useable). Even my PC, is using WiFi connected and there is no fiber connection to any device.

I see Umobile has 5G broadband at RM68. Seems like I can save quite a bit a month and have the flexibility to place the router in a more central location which should offer better speeds.

But is 5G broadband stable enough? At the moment, Time Fiber broadband has never failed me for nearly 5 years, WFH is also smooth. Can I expect the same from 5G Broadband?

forget about 5G broadband, 5G in bolehland, no only coverage is still weak, but also the speed, latency all sucks...
