Key Findings

DiGi is the new winner of Opensignal’s Video Experience award

Our DiGi users in Malaysia had the best experience when streaming video on mobile networks. DiGi beat Maxis to win our Video Experience award with a score of 62.7 points (out of 100) — an improvement of 3.8 points (6.5%) since our last report, compared to Maxis’ upswing of 1.2 points (2%). Also, the overall Video Experience in Malaysia has improved on the majority of networks. Our Unifi users reported the greatest improvement of 13.7 points (31%), followed by those on U Mobile with 9.2 points (18.4%) — as a result Unifi and U Mobile scores pushed past the Good rating threshold. Only Celcom’s score dipped by 2.3 points. With all these changes, all five operators now place in the Good category.

U Mobile pulls level with Maxis on Games Experience

While Maxis has been the outright winner of our Games Experience award since we introduced it last year, this time the operator is statistically tied with U Mobile. As a result, both Maxis and U Mobile are now joint winners for Games Experience.

U Mobile wins the Voice App Experience award outright

Our last report saw U Mobile and Unifi battling it out for the Voice Experience award. However, this time U Mobile is the sole winner with a score of 76.8 out of 100 — an improvement of 2.4 points since our last report. We saw improvements across the board ranging between 0.7 and 2.4 points, with all but one of the operators placing in the Acceptable category.

DiGi comes top for Download Speed Experience

DiGi has overtaken Maxis for the top spot for Download Speed Experience. Our users on DiGi’s network have seen their speeds improve by an impressive 2.8 Mbps (26.1%) since our last report, while their counterparts on Maxis reported a decline of 2.5 Mbps (17.5%). As a result, DiGi overturned Maxis’ lead of 3.9 Mbps and in this report now commands a lead of 1.4 Mbps. Apart from DiGi users, Unifi users were the only ones who observed improved download speeds, while those on Celcom also saw a dip of 2.5 Mbps (24.1%) with speeds averaging 7.7 Mbps.

Unifi makes good progress on 4G Availability, forces a tie with Celcom for first place

Since our last report, the proportion of time that our Unifi users spent connected to 4G has increased by 5.2 percentage points. But our users on previous winner Celcom’s network saw their score rise by a more modest 1.3 percentage points which means both Celcom and Unifi are now statistically tied, with scores averaging around 89.5% which means Celcom no longer wins the award outright. Our U Mobile users saw the greatest improvement in 4G Availability with their experience improving by 5.4 percentage points, while DiGi and Maxis users also saw an uplift of two percentage points each.

Celcom holds on to 4G Coverage Experience

Celcom once again wins our 4G Coverage Experience award, this time with a score of 8.9 points, while DiGi and Maxis are close behind at 8.2 points and 8.1 points, respectively. Measured on a scale of 0-10, Opensignal’s 4G Coverage Experience metric 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.

Introduction

We have seen a lot of change since our last report. DiGi swept away our Video Experience and Download Speed awards, which were previously held by Maxis. At the same time, U Mobile won our Voice App Experience and Upload Speed Experience awards outright, the operator also jointly won our Games Experience award along with Maxis. And last but not least, Unifi was able to force a statistical tie with Celcom on 4G Availability.

Also, we saw some remarkable increases in users’ mobile experience across operators in most categories. Our Unifi users reported a significant increase in Video Experience (31%), Download Speed Experience (35.1%), and 4G Availability (5.2 percentage points). In comparison, their peers on U Mobile observed improvements in Games Experience (17%), Upload Speed Experience (5.5%), 4G Availability (5.4 percentage points) and 4G Coverage Experience (2.5%).

In this report, we've analyzed our data gathered in the 90 days ending on 28 February 2021 to compare the mobile network experience of our users on Malaysia’s five national operators Celcom, Maxis, DiGi, U Mobile and Unifi. We further delved deeper into 13 states and two federal territories, comparing the results of these five operators as well as the 4G-only network provider Yes.

These results show that Maxis has lost its dominance on Malaysia’s mobile network experience that we had seen in the last report and competition has intensified as the variation in mobile network experience between service providers in Malaysia has narrowed

A lot is also happening on the ground in Malaysia as well. On the one hand, the potential merger of Digi and Celcom is in advanced discussions. On the other hand, Celcom, DiGi and Maxis have signed a fibre infrastructure sharing deal for efficient deployment of fibre backhaul to base stations that will enable widespread 4G connectivity and increase Malaysia’s fibre infrastructure (without duplication), in line with the state’s Jalinan Digital Negara Plan (JENDELA). Alongside the JENDELA initiative, which aims to strengthen Malaysia’s existing connectivity, the Malaysian government expects to invest MYR15 billion (USD3.7 billion) over its nationwide 5G deployment plans that will be undertaken and managed by a special purpose vehicle under the Malaysian government. Under the government’s current plans, it is anticipated that Malaysians will begin to gain access to 5G ‘in stages’ by the end of this year.

National Analysis

Video Experience

DiGi is the new winner of the Video Experience award in Malaysia — its score of 62.7 is an increase of 3.8 from our previous report and beats former front-runner Maxis’s score by 1.5 points. While our users on DiGi now enjoy the best Video Experience in Malaysia, more movement was seen by our U Mobile and Unifi users — U Mobile’s score grew by 9.2 points (18.4%) and Unifi’s score rose by a significant 13.7 points (31%). In contrast, our Celcom users reported a decline of 2.3 points (3.9%) since our last report.

All five operators placed in the Good category. A Good Video Experience rating indicates that users enjoyed an acceptable experience when streaming mobile video at lower resolutions, but loading times may have been slow and stalling may have occurred, especially at higher resolutions.

Opensignal’s Video Experience quantifies video streaming quality by measuring real-world video streams using dedicated video streaming tests to reflect users’ true experience over an operator’s mobile network. The calculation takes picture quality, video loading time and stall rate into account and combines these measurements using an ITU-based approach to reflect the perceived video experience as reported by real people.

Games Experience

Maxis and U Mobile are the joint winners for Opensignal’s Games Experience award, this time with statistically tied scores of 57.3 and 57.4 points (on a scale of 0-100), respectively. However, with scores in the range of 40 to 65 points, all five operators place in the Poor category on this measure of mobile experience.

Opensignal’s Games Experience quantifies the experience when playing real-time multiplayer mobile games on mobile devices connected to servers located around the world. A Poor Games Experience rating means that most of our users found this level of experience unacceptable, in most cases the gameplay was not very responsive to the action of the players. Many users felt a lack of controllability in the Games Experience.

This indicates that playing multiplayer mobile games on Malaysian networks is challenging and if Malaysian operators wish to target mobile gamers and provide a superior Games Experience, then they will need to increase their focus on reducing latency, jitter and packet loss — a potential benefit that could be unlocked with a wide deployment of 5G services in future.

Voice App Experience

U Mobile has successfully broken the statistical tie that existed between its users’ experience and that of Unifi’s in our last report to win our Voice App Experience award outright. This was due to an increase of 2.4 points observed by our U Mobile users compared to a modest 0.7 point improvement observed by our users connecting with Unifi.

There were improvements across the board in Voice App Experience with our users on DiGi and Maxis reporting improvements ranging between 1.4 points and 2 points. As a result, U Mobile now commands a lead of one point over Digi with a score of 76.8 points (out of 100). While all four operators’ scores place in the Acceptable (74-80) category, Celcom’s score of 73.1 places lower in the Poor (66-74) category.

An Acceptable rating means users were generally able to comprehend without repetition, while some may have suffered from perceptible call quality impairments such as clicking sounds or distortion. Likewise, a Poor rating means many users were dissatisfied and likely suffered from increased call quality impairments. Opensignal’s Voice App Experience quantifies the quality of consumers’ experience when using over-the-top (OTT) voice services on apps such as WhatsApp, Skype and Facebook Messenger over mobile networks.

Download Speed Experience

DiGi has beaten Maxis’ score by 1.4 Mbps (11.7%) to win our Download Speed Experience award outright with a score of 13.3 Mbps. While our users on DiGi and Unifi’s network saw a boost of 2.8 Mbps (26.1%) and 2.4 Mbps (35.1%) in their average download speeds, Celcom and Maxis users observed a decline of 2.5 Mbps each, with speeds averaging 7.7 Mbps and 11.9 Mbps, respectively. Since our report last year in April, 2020, the Download Speed Experinece on Celcom and Maxis has declined significantly — by 39.3% and 41.6%, respectively.

Looking at Download Speed Experience split by network type, 4G Download Speed Experience mirrored our overall results: our users on DiGi saw the fastest average download speeds of 16 Mbps, while Maxis and U Mobile were below the 15 Mbps mark with scores of 13.6 Mbps and 10.9 Mbps, respectively. Meanwhile, Unifi and Celcom were further behind with scores below 10 Mbps — 9.9 Mbps and 8.4 Mbps, respectively.

Upload Speed Experience

Our Malaysian users continue to enjoy the best Upload Speed Experience on U Mobile’s network with speeds averaging 7 Mbps – a 0.4 Mbps (5.5%) improvement since the last report. Meanwhile, our DiGi users saw the biggest increase of 0.9 Mbps (18.1%) in their average upload speeds, and Celcom users saw the largest decline of 1.4 Mbps (23.6%).

Upload speeds are becoming increasingly important in mobile services, with changing usage patterns and consumption habits. Mobile users now engage more on social media apps — creating and sharing high-resolution images and videos — and are moving away from content consumption to content creation, which gives operators with the fastest upload speeds a distinct advantage.

4G Availability

Last time, Celcom won our 4G Availability award outright, but now Celcom shares the award with Unifi. This change is due to an impressive 5.2 percentage points rise reported by our Unifi users, which is more than four times higher than the growth of 1.3 percentage points reported by their counterparts on Celcom since our last report. While both the operators’ scores were statistically tied for the first place — both around the 90% 4G Availability mark — Maxis and U Mobile followed behind with a score of 87.8% and 86.3%, respectively. DiGi was the only operator with a score below 85%.

Overall, our 4G users on all five networks saw an improvement in the proportion of time they were able to connect to a 4G signal, with those on U Mobile experiencing the greatest increase of 5.4 percentage points.

4G Coverage Experience

Little has changed since our last report in terms of 4G Coverage Experience with Celcom occupying first place in this category. The operator’s score increased slightly — by 0.1 points — bringing Celcom closer to the nine points mark. DiGi, Maxis, Unifi and U Mobile’s scores also increased by 0.1 points.

Opensignal’s 4G Coverage Experience is a measure of how 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 users of all network operators.

Regional Analysis

Our regional analysis assessed how the mobile network experience varies across 13 states and two federal territories of Malaysia. Our results highlight how Malaysia's six network operators, including Yes, stack up on our six primary measures of mobile network experience regionally.

In Video Experience, the national winner DiGi won outright in seven regions and further collected joint wins in the remaining eight regions. DiGi tied with Maxis in Kelantan, Kuala Lumpur, Melaka, Pahang — including Kedah and Perlis where it ended up in a three-way statistical tie along with U Mobile. We saw a further three-way tie in Putrajaya where DiGi and Maxis statistically tied with Celcom. Our regional analysis shows that DiGi users enjoyed a Very Good Video Experience in five regions and a Good Video Experience in the remaining 10 regions.

Like our national results, we saw a number of joint wins for Games Experience at the regional level in all regions except for Kedah, Pahang and Sabah — where U Mobile won the award outright — as well as Kuala Lumpur, Negeri Sembilan and Selangor where Maxis was the outright winner.

Our national speed results are also reflected in our regional analysis of average download and upload speeds. DiGi — the national winner — swept away our Download Speed Experience award in 12 regions and jointly won in a further two — in Sabah with Maxis and in Putrajaya where we saw a three-way split between DiGi, Maxis and Celcom. Maxis was the only other operator to win this award category outright, in Kuala Lumpur. Meanwhile, U Mobile dominated regional Upload Speed Experience by winning 12 awards outright and jointly winning a further two — in Sarawak and Kuala Lumpur.

Turning to 4G Availability, Yes (a 4G-only operator) won this category outright in 12 out of 15 regions, as our users on its network observed average 4G Availability ranging between 95.8% to 99.3% in these 12 regions.

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.
