U Home 5G SIM works as hotspot on smartphones, double the FUP to 2000GB for just RM30

U Mobile has announced its U Home 5G wireless broadband plan which provides unlimited 5G internet for your home for only RM68/month. The wireless 5G broadband offering has no contract as the plan doesn’t come with a 5G wireless router bundle.

U Home 5G can be used as hotspot on a 5G smartphone

If you don’t want to spend over RM1,000 for a wireless 5G router, here’s an alternative solution. We’ve confirmed with U Mobile that the data-only SIM can be used on a smartphone and shared with other devices via hotspot. As mentioned in the terms and conditions, the U Home 5G plan is applicable for both hotspot and non-hotspot usage.

1000GB FUP but you can double it for only RM30

While the plan is advertised as an “unlimited” 5G broadband plan, the FAQ mentions that they may restrict your speeds if they detect abuse or unusually high usage above 1000GB. The T&C states clearly that there’s a Fair Usage Policy (FUP) limit of 1,000GB. Once the FUP limit is reached, the speed will be throttled to 512kbps.

If you need more than 1,000GB in a month, U Mobile is also offering a U Home 5G Add-on that provides an additional 1,000GB of high-speed quota that’s valid until the next billing cycle. According to U Mobile, this U Home 5G Add-on costs RM30 and this is incredibly good value for money for data-heavy users. With the current introductory promo (RM68/month), this means you can get a 5G wireless broadband plan with a whopping 2000GB of data for only RM98/month.

This calculates to just 5 sen per GB and what’s more impressive is there’s no speed cap. According to U Mobile, U Home 5G offers fibre-like speeds for your home with a minimum of 100Mbps. This is based on Digital Nasional Berhad’s guarantee of delivering a minimum of 100Mbps across its nationwide 5G network.

Malaysia’s 5G network is said to have over 62% population coverage and DNB is given a target to achieve 80% 5G population coverage by the end of this year. For more info, you can visit U Mobile’s U Home 5G page.
