PETALING JAYA: Telekom Malaysia (TM) has adjusted the monthly subscription fee of its Unifi Home 2Gbps plan from RM399 to RM428.90.
The new pricing comes with a subscription to a standard Netflix plan, which the company said users can watch on two supported devices at a time.
Other offerings include the existing Unifi TV Ultimate Max package, which offers users access to 10 streaming apps, including Disney+ Hotstar, BBC Player and iQiyi, as well as a free WiFi 6-certified Mesh device.
The 2Gbps plan was first introduced in April with a subscription price of RM399 and promised download speeds of up to 2Gbps and upload speeds of up to 1Gbps.
TM has also adjusted the price of its 1GBps plan, also introduced in April, from RM349 monthly to RM378.90 monthly with the inclusion of Netflix Standard. The company is also offering users under this plan a free six-month speed upgrade to 2GBps.
For those who have already subscribed to the plans, the company noted in an FAQ that the price offering (with discount) is valid as long as they remain with their respective 24-month plans.
Currently, the company is not offering new users the choice of opting out of the additional Netflix subscription at 2Gbps or 1Gbps. Both plans also come with a 24-month contract.
On whether subscribers will experience the exact gigabit speed, the company said that 2Gbps plan customers “will enjoy an aggregated speed offering, which means every LAN port will not exceed 1Gbps but with a combined bandwidth of 2Gbps”, while 1Gbps customers “will enjoy the 1Gbps speed experience”.
TM stated in its FAQ that customers can downgrade their plan, adding that the existing contract will “reset to 24-months”.
Unifi plans without Netflix are available starting from the 30Mbps plan at RM89 monthly.
On July 31, Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil said Internet package plans will be cheaper by September when the Mandatory Standard on Access Pricing (MSAP) is adopted.
