Summary. This paper measures mobile broadband performance across 3G and 4G networks in rural Malaysia, testing three major operators in Johor, Sarawak, and Sabah. The researchers conducted drive tests measuring coverage, latency, speed, and user satisfaction for web browsing and video streaming. Results show 4G networks significantly outperform 3G across all metrics and operators, with 4G achieving lower latency and higher download speeds. The findings provide guidance for planning 5G deployment in rural areas.
