Yoodo: After almost two months
It's almost my second bill cycle and I've only experienced a one time slow-like-snail connection with Yoodo. Changing plan is super easy. No hidden charges. And I also got a GST rebate which means that my payment is less than the actual price.
So, it's all great, right? Well...almost.
Now, here's the problem.
For example, let's first compared it to Celcom's postpaid plan. Which ironically, owns Yoodo.
My current Yoodo plan is 40GB of data, 50 minutes of voice call and 50 SMSes. And after the GST rebate, it costs me RM97.17.
The nearest equivalent postpaid plan from Celcom would be the Gold Plus plan, which has 40GB of data, 100GB for streaming via Video Walla, unlimited calls to all networks, and unlimited WhatsApp and WeChat. And it costs RM103.88 including GST.
The difference is only RM6.71.
Digi? They are cheaper, especially their Infinite Plan which costs RM106 including GST.
- But, their coverage is just not wide enough. And I had a very bad experience with Digi when I went back for holidays at my Kampung in Sabah.
U Mobile? Their Unlimited Hero P99 offers unlimited data for RM104.95 including GST.
- But, no matter how cheap they are, I can't use them due to their limited coverage in Sabah like Digi.
How about Maxis? Well, Maxis is more expensive though. Maxis offers RM 124 (including GST) for the same plan (40GB of data) that I'm currently on with Yoodo. So, nope. Yoodo is better.
So, if you are living within their coverage areas and a heavy user, Yoodo seems to make less sense compared to other telcos (except Maxis which is just too expensive).
But again, with Yoodo, you can change your plan anytime you like. Also, there is no contract (so is U Mobile though), no hidden charges and no fine prints.
(yup, I don't have access to Unifi Broadband or any wired connections. All of the ports at my place are full.)

Now, here's the problem.
- The price is not actually that cheaper compared to other telcos postpaid plans. (Not all of them though.)
- I'm a heavy user.

My Concluding Thought
Yoodo is best for light users and those who want flexibility. But, not for a heavy user like me, who have to rely on wireless broadband tethering to connect all of the devices in my home.(yup, I don't have access to Unifi Broadband or any wired connections. All of the ports at my place are full.)
