TPG Technical Discussion Thread

[cscs3]

Thank you. Yes, regarding the LTE band info, as you said, some say both, some say 8 and some says 40 which make me confuse.

TPG use both band 8 and 40.

Can anyone advise if this free sim can be used in msia?

TPG reception so far better than all other telcos.

No. Very bad especially in door.

I agree, but gradually they are expanding coverage. Saw quite a few TPG cabinets being installed at areas where there weren't.

They are already late base on schedule.

Let them be late lo. Best is they have to extend trial cause havent met the minimum coverage.

How to check the phone number ah. I got 2 lines but lost one of the SIM card and want to replace it...

Indoor mostly 50% network signal strength.

My friend using a Samsung Tab S3 cannot outgoing or incoming voice calls.
Is there any special setting.
I thought Samsung Tab S3 support VoLTE?

but TPG does not support tab s3 for VoLTE. so you won't be able to make any voice calls.

 

[squarepipe]

Hopefully TPG will make a separate app for voice calls for phones with no VoLTE support. Although they seem to still be a long way from completing 4G coverage...

Thanks for the explanation.
So means he can only use tpg for data on his tab S3
I was surprised even tab S3 model also cannot use tpg volte.

I am referring to throttling to 0.5MB/s when using on mifi. I cant get any faster than that.

Read. Its in megabytes per sec. Which means its around 45 megabits per sec.

If this speed is unusable, then all telcos are barely usable.

Read and look at the post you qouted. That speed in the screenshot is when iam using a tpg sim in a mifi.

0.5mb = 500kb.

500kb/s still not fast enough?

 

[phayze]

Slow, especially when loading video. Keep buffering.

Weird hor. You and some others keep saying tpg throttle speed on mifi. But hor, no matter if the sim card is v1 or v2, i use in my mifi no problem leh.

Getting 4 megabytes per second is no problem. Watching youtube video in 1080p 60fps no problem also. Online browser streaming 1080p no problem also. Seriously dont understand where the throttle speed on mifi comes from.

Throttle after 2gb that one is confirmed. And very accurate also. Throttle for torrent is confirmed.

Can tell me which other legit sites without virus and not porn sites are throttled? I go try.

 

[Maserati]

I also encounter throttling when using mifi.
If i place the sim into a phone and hotspot, I do not notice throttling
I use this to measure the speed

normally i just use it to share internet for laptop
