The upgraded 5G Advanced network is now live across the Klang Valley and is slated for nationwide completion by December 2025, according to Yes.

Ultra-low latency for smoother gaming, streaming, and real-time applications

Smarter, AI-driven performance optimisation

Integration of 700MHz and 3500MHz spectrum bands for expanded reach and speed
In a statement, Yes said all existing Yes 5G Postpaid and Wireless Broadband users will be automatically upgraded to 5G Advanced at no additional cost, allowing customers to immediately benefit from the next-generation network.
To mark the launch, the telco announced new offerings for customers. These include the Yes 5G Advanced Broadband plan, which offers unlimited data and speed for RM68 per month with the Yes Infinite Gateway MAX router.
Additionally, the Yes Infinite+ Advanced phone bundles will allow users to enjoy savings of up to RM3,999 on a range of 5G Advanced-ready devices, including the Samsung Galaxy S25, Nothing Phone (3), Honor, Vivo, Xiaomi, and ZTE smartphones.
