Our findings echoed the Opensignal report, indicating that U Mobile users enjoy the fastest overall speeds in Malaysia. 

While the upload speed might not be in our favour, the download speed impressed us in a way that we never expected.

With a staggering increase of 115.7% in download speed since the last report, U Mobile has set a new benchmark for mobile internet speed in the country.

Moreover, U Mobile’s leap in 5G availability is noteworthy. The report also revealed that U Mobile users with a 5G device spend almost a third of their time with an active 5G connection, leading the pack in terms of 5G availability.

Do we REALLY recommend U Mobile?

Our independent tests confirm the findings of the Opensignal report. U Mobile has indeed taken a giant leap forward, offering the fastest download speeds in Malaysia. For those who value download speed and reliability in their mobile network experience, U Mobile appears to be the clear choice.
