Key Findings

Maxis claims the first win in the new Games Experience award

Our brand-new measure shows that a typical Games Experience in Malaysia can vary from Poor to Good depending on the choice of operator. Maxis became the first operator to win Opensignal’s new Games Experience award. Maxis became the only operator to achieve a Good rating, while Celcom, Unifi and DiGi earned a Fair rating followed by U Mobile, which placed in the Poor category. Opensignal’s Games Experience metric is a measure of how mobile users experience real-time multiplayer mobile gaming on an operator’s network. Measured on a scale of 0-100, it analyzes how the multiplayer mobile Games Experience is affected by mobile network conditions including latency, packet loss and jitter to determine the impact on gameplay and the overall multiplayer Games Experience.

Maxis takes hold of Video Experience and achieves a Very Good rating

Maxis became the new winner in Video Experience and also moved from the Good (55-65) to the Very Good (65-75) category by improving its score by 5.5 points since our last report. This means users on Maxis’ network now enjoy faster loading times and only occasional stalling while streaming video on their smartphones.

Unifi held on to our Voice App Experience award

We saw fierce competition in this category, with less than 4 points (out of 100) separating all five Malaysian operators. Unifi was slightly ahead of the pack with a score of 77, giving our Unifi users an Acceptable Voice App Experience, meaning users on its network were generally able to comprehend without repetition while communicating on over-the-top (OTT) voice app services such as WhatsApp, Skype and Facebook Messenger. Maxis, DiGi and Celcom also earned Acceptable ratings and trailed closely behind, while U Mobile missed the same category by less than a point and ended up in the Poor rating bracket with a score of 73.8 points.

Maxis continues to lead in Speed

Maxis won both the Download and Upload Speed Experience awards, with our users on its network averaging speeds of 20.4 Mbps for download and 7.7 Mbps for upload. We also saw some impressive improvements in the overall download speeds our users enjoyed on Unifi. The operator sprinted to increase its score by 29%. In addition, U Mobile increased its users' overall upload speeds by 18.5% since the last report.

Celcom holds on to the 4G Availability award and wins 4G Coverage Experience

Once again Celcom has secured Opensignal's 4G Availability award. Our 4G users on its network were able to find a 4G connection 89.7% of the time. The level of 4G access in Malaysia continues to grow, as our users saw improvement in 4G Availability across the board. We recorded between 2% to 4% increase in the scores since the last report. Celcom also won our inaugural 4G Coverage Experience award in Malaysia with a score of 8.7 points (on a scale of 0-10).

Introduction

A quick look at our latest award table and it's very clear that one operator is dominating the mobile network experience in Malaysia. Maxis won five out of eight of our awards. The operator extended its long-held lead in Download Speed Experience and has maintained its grip on the Upload Speed Experience in last six months. Maxis also reclaimed the Latency Experience award which it lost to Celcom in our previous report. Maxis won our Video Experience award achieving a Very Good rating. In addition, it also bagged our first Games Experience award in Malaysia by securing a Good rating.

That being said, Celcom kept its grip on network accessibility by winning our 4G Availability award along with our inaugural 4G Coverage Experience award. We also saw some impressive increases from other operators in a couple of measures since the last report, especially from Unifi in Download Speed Experience and U Mobile in Upload Speed Experience.

In this report we examined the mobile network experience on five Malaysian national operators’ networks — Celcom, Maxis, DiGi, U Mobile and Unifi — to see how they fared. We further delved deeper into 12 states and two Federal Territories of Malaysia, comparing the results of these five operators as well as regional 4G provider Yes. We also introduced two new metrics in this report for the first time in Malaysia — Games Experience and 4G Coverage Experience.

National Analysis

Video Experience

Maxis became the new winner in Video Experience. Our users on its network saw the highest improvement of 5.5 points (on a 100-point scale), in the last six months, and this has elevated the operator’s rating from Good (55-65) to Very Good (65-75). This means users on Maxis’ network now enjoy faster loading times and only occasional stalling while streaming video on their smartphones. Celcom and DiGi remained in the Good rating category, as Celcom’s Video Experience score dipped by 2 points while Digi’s grew by 1.3 points to score 61.5 and 57.5 respectively. The other two operators — U Mobile and Unifi — remained in the Fair ratings bracket (40-55) with decent incremental improvements of 2.6 and 1.4 points, respectively. A Fair rating is characterized by sluggish load times and prolonged stalling, most notably on higher resolutions.

With smartphones becoming the primary screen, the shift in video consumption habits have become very pronounced across the country, putting Malaysian operators in prime position to provide consumers with quality video streaming services as the demand continues to grow. Our Video Experience metric measures video quality streamed over mobile networks to devices on a 100-point scale.

Games Experience

Opensignal has measured the mobile gaming experience in Malaysia for the first time. Maxis won our award with a score of 75.4 on a scale of 0-100, which falls into the Good category (75-85). This means that our users on Maxis’ network found the gameplay experience generally controllable and most of them received immediate feedback between their actions and the outcomes in the game. Meanwhile, Celcom and Unifi statistically tied for the second place with scores scores — 72.7 and 72.6 respectively — which fall in the Fair category (65-75) along with DiGi. This means that our users found the experience “average” and a majority of them noticed a delay between their actions and outcomes in the game. U Mobile was the only operator to land in the Poor category (40-65) with a score of 63.4, meaning most of the users found the gaming experience to be unacceptable — the majority observed noticeable delays within games and players often felt lack of controllability over the gameplay.

Opensignal’s newly released Games Experience metric measures how mobile users experience real-time multiplayer mobile gaming on an operator’s network. Like our other experiential metrics, it is measured on a scale of 0-100. It was developed from several years of research looking at the relationship between the technical network parameters and the gaming experience as reported by real mobile users. It considers multiple genres of multiplayer mobile games to measure the average sensitivity to network conditions. The games tested include some of the most popular real-time multiplayer mobile games — such as Call of Duty and Arena of Valor — played around the world.

Voice App Experience

Unifi retained our Voice App Experience award, which measures the quality of experience for over-the-top (OTT) voice services — mobile voice apps such as WhatsApp, Skype and Facebook Messenger — using a model derived from the International Telecommunication Union for quantifying overall voice call quality with a series of calibrated technical parameters.

We saw fierce competition in this category, with less than 4 points (out of 100) separating all five Malaysian operators. Unifi was slightly ahead of the pack with a score of 77, giving our users an Acceptable Voice App Experience, meaning they are generally able to comprehend without repetition. Maxis, DiGi and Celcom also earned Acceptable ratings with very close scores of 76.3, 75.1, 74.6 points respectively, while U Mobile scored slightly below the others and ended up in the Poor category with a score of 73.8 points. A Poor Voice App Experience signifies that many users were dissatisfied, and perceived distortion, clicking sounds or silence during their calls.

Download Speed Experience

Maxis continued to dominate in Download Speed Experience. The operator won our award in this category with an overall score of 20.4 Mbps and extended its lead with our users on its network by increasing its download speed by 2.7 Mbps since our last report. With this increase Maxis is now almost 8 Mbps faster than its closest rival Celcom. Our users on Celcom’s network saw their Download Speed Experience drop by 3.6 Mbps to 12.7 Mbps. DiGi trailed closely behind at 11.6 Mbps, followed by U Mobile with 7.4 Mbps. That said, our users on Unifi’s network saw the highest improvement as the operator’s overall score grew from 5.4 Mbps to 7 Mbps — a surge of 29% in six months.

Maxis also led in our 4G Upload Speed sub-metric with a score of 9.2 Mbps. Celcom was close behind with the upload speeds experienced by users of 8.4 Mbps, followed by U Mobile with users’ upload speeds averaging 7.9 Mbps. And in 3G Upload Speed the two operators — Celcom and U Mobile — both scored 1.1 Mbps to draw for first place.

With the increasing use of social media, content sharing and video chat applications, mobile users are not just consuming content but are also creating content. This means that upload speeds are an increasingly important aspect of the mobile network experience.

Latency Experience

Maxis and Celcom were almost neck-and-neck for our Latency Experience award. However, Maxis finished in first place as our users on its network experienced the fastest network response time of 43.4 milliseconds compared to Celcom’s 44ms. While Unifi trailed behind closely with 48.5ms, the other two operators — DiGi and U Mobile — were further behind with scores above 50ms. Our users on U Mobile’s network saw an improvement of 4.8% with a 2.4ms faster response time, on average, since the last report.

Latency is a gauge of a network's response time — meaning the lower the score, the better. And it is becoming increasingly important as smartphones and data connections become ubiquitous and user habits change. Good latency is key to a host of mobile applications and services.

4G Availability

Celcom has once again claimed Opensignal's 4G Availability award. Our 4G users on its network were able to find a 4G connection 89.7% of the time. That said, the level of 4G access in Malaysia continues to improve — our users saw improvement in 4G Availability across the board. While Celcom’s score grew by almost two percentage points since our last report, its closest rival, Maxis, boosted its score by almost four percentage points to finish in second place with 86.6% 4G Availability, followed by Unifi with 83.7%. Digi surpassed the 80% milestone with an improvement of 3.3 percentage points to garner a score of 81.7%. Although U Mobile was the only operator below the 80% mark, we recorded the highest increase in 4G Availability on its network — a growth of more than 5 percentage points.

Opensignal’s 4G Coverage Experience is a measure of how Opensignal’s mobile subscribers experience 4G coverage on an operator’s network. Measured on a scale of 0-10, it analyzes the locations where customers of a network operator received a 4G signal relative to the locations visited by Opensignal users of all network operators.

Regional Analysis

Looking at the regional breakdown, Video Experience was in line with the national results, as Maxis also led at the regional level. Our users on its network enjoyed a Very Good Video Experience in 11 states, and a Good Experience in the remaining three. Maxis won 12 out of 14 regional awards and shared the first place in the remaining two states — in Sabah with Yes, and in Terengganu where we saw a three-way split along with Celcom and Yes. In fact, our users enjoyed the best Video Experience in Putrajaya on Maxis’ network with the highest overall score of 71.8.

In our new measure of Games Experience, Maxis, the winner of the national award, won first place in two states and tied for first place in 12 states. In Kuala Lumpur we saw the highest regional Games Experience score of 79.4 on Maxis’ network. While users on Celcom, DiGi, Unifi and U Mobile’s networks enjoyed the best Games Experience in Putrajaya.

We saw a fierce competition between all six operators in our Voice App Experience category. Yes was the only operator that won a regional award for this measure of the mobile experience, with a score of 77.5 in Kedah, otherwise there was no absolute winner in the remaining states. Our users enjoyed the best Voice App Experience across all operators and all regions on Maxis’ network in Putrajaya with the highest overall Voice Experience score of 79.8 points. Typical Voice App Experience at a regional level in Malaysia ranged from Poor to Acceptable.

Opensignal measures the real-world experience of consumers on mobile networks in the places they live, work and travel.

We continually adapt our methodology to best represent the true experience of smartphone users. Therefore, comparisons of the results to past reports should be considered indicative only.

For every metric we calculate statistical confidence intervals indicated on our graphs. When confidence intervals overlap, our measured results are too close to declare a winner. In those cases, we show a statistical draw. For this reason, some metrics have multiple winners.

In our bar graphs we represent confidence intervals as boundaries on either sides of graph bars. In our supporting-metric charts we show confidence intervals as +/- numerical values.
