While having its fair share of issues, YES 4G – for what it’s worth – has taken the Best 4G LTE crown. OpenSignal’s latest ‘State of Mobile Networks: Malaysia‘ report confirms that YES 4G is the best in class.

The award represents ‘Fastest Overall Download Speed’ and ‘Best LTE Signal Availability in the Country’ categories. Taking the best 4G LTE Crown has been an achievement that YES 4G has been striving towards.

OpenSignal’s report records data from more than one billion crowdsourced data points, sourcing information via 75,288 real world smartphone users in Malaysia.

According to OpenSignal, YES 4G customers are able to connect to 4G LTE signal at a whopping 93.2% of the time. This, as the report claims, is ahead of its nearest competitor by 13%. The high-score also claims that YES 4G earned also surpasses Malaysia’s four main operators. All four provides LTE signal less than 74% of the time. A below-the-belt hit move but it seems to be the case for the larger players. As is, there are still rampant complaints of dropped lines and bad quality network service.

“At YES, we strive to give our customers an amazing experience at all times, whether they are surfing at world-class 4G LTE speed or making crystal clear VoLTE calls. To receive due recognition through OpenSignal’s efforts, it is a testimony to our vision and hard work. For us, it has always been about building Malaysia’s largest all-4G network to bring about better Internet for all. This acknowledgement is not only rewarding for us, but also comes at a fitting time as Malaysians are increasingly relying
on mobile Internet to live, work, learn and play,” shares Wing K Lee, CEO of YTL Communications.
