I did this. I am already on Umobile 5g for home internet for almost 2 years. It’s good enough for streaming / WFH even.

First issue is on upload speed. I usually get 10-15mbps only. Very difficult if want to upload stuff to cloud.

Second issue is on the 1TB. For me no issue. But if more pax at home ma be an issue

Third issue is torrent. Unable to torrent with Umobile 5G. Have to use VPN. If torrent important. Go with yes 5g. But I hate yes.

Final issue is the 5g network now of days. The past 2 years I been getting 400-500mbps but recently with the “U ultra5g”, I’m getting 100-150mbps. I think Umobile did something.. not related to dnb vs Umobile own 5g because maxis also same issue. The signal also poorer now.

But all in all. I find our fiber is too expensive. This is good enough for me.

this is because more & more people slice the 5G cake as higher & higer adoption rate.
this is something that only can be solved by faster fiber infra rollout, which seems like not happening soon.
so expect speed gonna get lower by time.

when the 5G router is foc , i wont mind to get tied to a 24mths contract if I can get consistent speed of 20mbps & I can bring it to everywhere I go , hence I am not tied to fibre which also is contracted . my current contract have abt 12mths to go , once its over, I will terminate it & tied another contract , this time maybe I will try Maxis as they are also providing free 5G router or stay with UM & get another router as spare or sell it off for a small profit

i suggest get 3rd party 5G modem, which is not that expensive nowadays.

i dunno telco provided modem got custom firmware ISP locked or not.
