For heavy data, the honest answer is: coverage where YOU actually are matters more than the brand or the GB number on the ad. All the telcos advertise big data but if the signal at your house/office/kampung is rubbish, the quota is useless. Yes 5G (formerly Yes) tends to give the most raw GB for the price and unlimited-ish options, great if you are in a covered urban area, weaker in rural. Celcomdigi (merged now) has the widest coverage including outstation and balik kampung, so if you travel a lot, more reliable. Unifi Mobile and Umobile are cheaper and fine in the Klang Valley. My practical advice: ask your housemates/colleagues who live near you which one works, or buy a cheap reload of a new SIM to test signal before you fully switch. Coverage first, price second.

I switched to Yes for the big data and unlimited stuff, super value in KL, streaming whole day no problem. BUT the moment I balik kampung in Kelantan interior, signal drop badly. So now I keep Yes as main and a cheap Celcom SIM for outstation. Dual SIM life lah.

Umobile prepaid got unlimited plans quite cheap and coverage improved a lot lately. I pay under RM40 and never worry about quota. Check their GX or unlimited hero plans. For the price hard to beat if you in a city.

If you use 50GB consistently, honestly consider a postpaid plan, sometimes cheaper per GB than prepaid reloads and you get better priority on the network during peak. Do the maths, prepaid not always cheaper when you heavy user. My postpaid unlimited is RM60 all in.
