5G performance plummets in Malaysia as it awaits second network
Malaysia’s 5G users are seeing sharply slower service even as more people and operators move onto the network. Average 5G speeds in the country have almost halved, according to recent performance data, suggesting that rising traffic is outpacing current network capacity.
The government is in the middle of shifting from a single wholesale 5G network model to allowing a second 5G network. That transition is still underway, leaving users stuck with weaker performance while the market waits for new infrastructure and added competition to take shape.
