Previously 2 fastest for 5G download and 1 fastest for 5G upload, Malaysia's 5G performance has declined slightly year-on-year despite the low adoption rate.
this year. Despite the drop in download and upload numbers, Malaysia’s 5G network recorded a 14.4x improvement over 4G networks, which is the second highest on Opensignal’s report.
The decline is to be expected as there are currently more telcos and users on the national 5G network. When Opensignal released its 2022 report, YTL Communications’ Yes 5G was the sole telco in Malaysia that provided 5G and it only supported a handful of devices which excluded the iPhone. In terms of 5G availability, Malaysia is ranked #16 at 20.5%, which is ahead of developed nations such as Germany, Spain, Denmark and Italy, but it is still behind Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, USA and South Korea. It is worth highlighting that 5G availability is a measure of how much time a device is connected to a 5G network and it does not reflect actual 5G coverage.
Besides speed, Opensignal also measured the mobile experience of video and gaming. Malaysia is ranked #3 for 5G gaming experience with 89.7 points, however, it lags when it comes to video experience at #28 with 75.3 points.The reported average speeds by Opensignal are close to what DNB has been advertising on their digital billboards.
The 5G network has recorded close to 1.4 petabytes of daily traffic, however, the number of concurrent users reported is still hovering slightly above 500,000. DNB’s 5G network is claimed to have reached 62.1% population coverage last month and it has been mandated to achieve 80% by the end of this year.
