U Mobile has been crowned the top performer in several key categories in Opensignal’s latest Malaysia Mobile Network Experience report, leading the way for consistent quality, download speed and 5G availability.
The telco won five awards outright and three jointly, giving it the highest overall award count among Malaysia’s five major mobile operators. Its consistent quality score increased by 12 percentage points, while it also shares the reliability award with CelcomDigi and Unifi.
