Not all LTE networks are created equal, and few countries exemplify that maxim more than Malaysia. In OpenSignal’s analysis of peak download speeds in Malaysia, we found that there were vastly different capabilities across the six major operators’ networks. The fastest 4G peak speeds we measured were well over 70 Mbps, while the slowest were under 25 Mbps.

It’s been four years since Malaysia’s first LTE networks came online, and in that time, the country has established itself as a solid 4G player.

In OpenSignal's State of Mobile Networks: Malaysia report, published today, four of the six operators (Celcom, DiGI, Maxis and Yes) were able to provide 4G services over 70% of the time, and two of them - Maxis and Yes - are offering 4G download speeds above the global average. But all operators showed 3G speeds on the slow side.
