Yes has put its 5G Advanced Network Slicing to the test, proving that even in Kuala Lumpur’s busiest areas, mobile users can now enjoy smoother streaming and faster connections during rush hour.
During a drive test across the Bukit Bintang to KLCC corridor, one of the most congested 5G zones in the country, the telco’s network maintained smooth video calls, uninterrupted streaming and responsive cloud gaming between 4pm and 5.30pm. Other 5G networks recorded slower speeds under the same peak-hour conditions.
According to Yes, its 5G Advanced service achieved up to six times faster speeds and three times lower latency compared to other 5G SIMs during the test. The trial was conducted using Samsung S25+ and Nothing Phone (3) devices equipped with Yes 5G SIMs.
“Yes 5G Advanced is not just about giving you better YouTube or TikTok. It is about building better industries and experiences, from manufacturing and healthcare to everyday mobile use,” said YTL Communications CEO Wing K. Lee.
The new capability uses network slicing, a system that creates virtual lanes for different types of data to ensure consistent service quality. For everyday users, this means fewer connection drops in crowded areas, faster load times for mobile apps and more reliable access to video streaming or cloud services.
The company said it aims to make high-speed 5G more accessible by offering uncapped data plans and expanding coverage nationwide.
Yes is the first mobile operator in Malaysia and the ninth globally to launch 5G Advanced commercially, in partnership with Digital Nasional Berhad and Ericsson.
