It seems that U Mobile has cleared the air and announced that the company has signed the 5G Access Agreement (AA) with Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) on 30 October 2022. Before this, it was rumored the orange telco jumped ship but that's not the case anymore. 

From 3 November 2022 onwards, customers of U Mobile’s 5G-ready postpaid and prepaid plans will be able to enjoy the benefits of 5G connectivity when using compatible devices. Recently, U Mobile launched a line of 5G-ready postpaid plans, namely U Postpaid 38 (30GB of 4G and 5G data), U Postpaid 68 (100GB of 4G and 5G data) and U Postpaid 98 (1,000GB of 4G and 5G data, read more about it here). 

For prepaid customers on U Mobile’s U25 and U35 plans, they will be able to enjoy 5G speeds when they redeem the Speed Booster feature for free on their plans. The free Speed Boosters enable 5G speeds as it allows customers to enjoy data at uncapped speeds for 1 hour a day, or 30 hours a month.

U Mobile customers on plans other than those aforementioned are advised to stay tuned for more developments on their subscriptions.
