News & Reviews:   YES 4G

OpenSignal recently revealed their latest findings on the state of networks in Malaysia for 2018. Turns out that Maxis are now the best 4G network in Malaysia (based on the results of OpenSignal's survey). About 6 months prior to this there was a similar study conducted by OpenSignal which concluded that in terms of 4G networks, Yes 4G and Maxis were neck and neck, both scoring higher than other networks in Malaysia.

After the launch of their Find the Yes Man contest by YTL Communications and RM500 to RM1000 cash prizes every time the Yes Man was found, the grand finale finished with a bang and the grand prize of RM10000 being won. The hunt for the Yes Man spread nationwide over the past 4 weeks from Kuala Lumpur to Johor Bahru and even in Sabah.

The folks at Yes and YTL Communication have just launched their Find the Yes Man contest starting from today till 11 December 2016 across Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah. Those who identify the Yes Man will win RM500 instantly, while Yes subscribers will win RM1000 (the prize will snowball to the next day if the Yes Manis is not found). To identify the Yes Man, catch him based on clues on the Yes Facebook page and say, “Are you the Yes Man?”.

The folks at YES 4G LTE are apparently bringing in football legend Eric Cantona to Malaysia this weekend (update: Saturday only now) for a Double Double Date. Previously featured in the YES 4G Double Double Excitement video, he will be signing autographs and meeting fans while probably showing off YES 4G LTE. We'll be there to meet him, so stay tuned for more at TechNave.com.

While Maxis, Celcom and other Telcos are currently offering higher-speed 4G LTE networks, YES 4G or YTL Communications has been rather quiet. This all changed when YES 4G announced that they would be coming out with their 4G LTE network in 2014. No specific Malaysia release dates were mentioned but the announcement is more or less official having come from Dato' Yeoh Seok Hong, Executive Director of YTL Communications. One interesting fact for the YES 4G LTE service is that rather than fall back onto 3G mobile connectivity, the YES 4G LTE will go to WiMAX should there be a problem connecting to the LTE network. No news on pricing but we should find out about this soon enough so stay tuned and we'll keep you posted.
