In the Q1 2025 update, which reflects data collected throughout the quarter, Malaysia's ranking for Excellent Consistent Quality also declined, falling four places to 62nd globally. This metric evaluates the network's ability to consistently support data-intensive applications. It was also reported recently, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil called for mobile network operators to improve their quality of service as complaints for poor service were on the rise again. The minister had called on the regulator MCMC to take stern action. Looks like the report by OpenSignal confirms on the drop in service by the operators. Related
