Lower income groups can access high-speed broadband through this package at a price point below RM100 (more than 40% lower price from the existing 30Mbps package).

Today, we serve nearly 2 million broadband homes, more than 8 million individuals and connect more than 10 million devices nationwide.

For others not in unifi areas, we will continuously invest in our network to provide at least our 30Mbps entry level unifi package through the latest fixed and wireless broadband technologies. Collectively, these new Broadband plans will catapult Malaysia beyond a majority of our regional peers into a competitive set of countries globally with high-speed broadband,” he added. TM looks forward to continued resilience and sustainable growth following the implementation of the new strategic plans moving forward.
