My Time Fiber contract is ending and they're not giving me any offer, so my 200mbps plan goes back to RM99/month.

I've used Time Fiber for 5 years, no issues. But recently I came across 5G plans from YES and Umobile and am considering moving to them in a bid to save RM30/month or so.

I am aware that the performance may not be as consistent as home fiber, but the truth is I only use Wifi at home casually on my PC and TV. No serious gaming, even WFH is rare these days.

In general though, on my current Maxis 5G plan, I get minimum 50mbps at peak hours, but usually close to 100mbps.

Should the uHome 5G speeds be better? Even excluding the second ULTRA5G network, is it fair to assume that the router will get better 5G speed than the phone because it has got larger antennas etc?

Also, how are the latest stock routers (especially the Huawei model), compared to aftermarket routers?

Please do share your experiences folks!

It's already cut and I also called them just to check. Memang none.

I also surprised they don't bother to retain, maybe cause I'm on the cheapest plan.

How is the ZTE router performance, any stability issues?

Are you in landed or high-rise?

Sim card comes with you but not the device?

Also, my logic is that my Maxis 5G on my phone is using DNB which is same as Umobile. ULTRA5G meanwhile can only be better (a plus). So do I really need to test a Umobile sim?

I pulled the plug and received the router + SIM today.

These are my results from my PC via Wifi.

How to know if I am getting ULTRA5G, am on SA/NSA etc?

Existing - Time 200mbps (router is in next room)


New - Umobile Uhome 5G (router is in same room)

On my S25, when I insert the sim, on the top left hand corner it says U Mobile. So I suppose it is DNB network?

Makes sense cause Maxis 5g on my phone is also around 200-300mbps today.

Interestingly, both the Uhome 5g and Maxis 5g sim gets around 150-200mbps on my phone, but when doing speedtest on my phone via Wifi using the same Uhome 5g sim placed in the Umobile router, the speed is consistently around 300mbps.

Is it because the router is able to absorb the signal more strongly?

So the Chipset in the Huawei H155-383 router is more powerful than the chipset in the S25? I suppose it makes sense sinc the routers sole purpose is to capture 4g and 5g signal and transmit it as wifi
