The question is, which one is the best for you? Don’t worry because, as usual, we’ve got you covered. Click to enlarge. We saw strong offerings from the four major players in the fibre broadband industry, but as with most plans, there are pros and cons to each plan. Let’s dive into each one and see if we can find which is the best.

TM Uni. Fi. TM kicked things off by upping their Uni. Fi game to the current Uni.

Fi Advance plan which offers 3. Mbps download speeds for RM1.

If you desire more speed, you can opt for the upgrade to 5. Mbps for RM5. 0 extra. TM also have a new Uni.

Fi Pro plan that offers speeds up to 1. Mbps. Much like the original VIP Uni. Fi plans, you will also get a free Hypp. TV subscription though only for the base channels. If you’re a big TV or movie buff, TM’s Uni.

Fi also offers a 1- year free subscription to local streaming service iflix worth RM9. With iflix, you get access to a moderately large catalogue of old and some relatively new shows that you can binge, including exclusives like Mr Robot. Opting for the Uni. Fi Pro plan gives you additional benefits on top of those that you get with the Uni. Fi Advance plans. Firstly, the Uni. Fi Pro plan comes with a free Voice Call voice bundle (worth RM2.

TM fixed lines remain free). You also get a free 3- month access pass to Viu — a streaming site that offers Korean dramas, varriety shows and other asian programs.

There is a caveat, however. With Uni. Fi Advance and Pro, your download and upload speeds are not symmetrical, meaning for the base RM1. Mbps download speeds but only 1. Mbps upload speeds. The same goes for the 5. Mbps which have its upload speed limited to 2. Mbps and the 1. 00.

Sling TV (alternately identified in its logo as Sling Television) is an American over-the-top internet television service owned by Dish Network. Unveiled on January 5. We’ve already seen that MINIX NEO U1 has some impressive hardware to offer with a good thermal solution, and high-end chips for storage and WiFi, as well as some. Netflix is an American entertainment company founded by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph on August 29, 1997, in Scotts Valley, California. It specializes in and.

Mbps Pro plan which has it’s upload speeds limited to 5. Mbps. Do keep in mind that these prices for the Uni. Fi Advance and Pro plans are still under a promo price (original prices: RM1. Mbps), RM2. 49 (5. Mbps), RM3. 29 (1. Mbps) so the original prices are a tad higher.

While TM has extended the promotional period for the Uni. Fi Advance plans in the past, it remains unclear if they will do so for the “early bird promo” price for the Uni. Fi Pro plan. TIME Fibre. TIME, on the other hand, released their latest range of broadband services with symmetrical speeds of up to 5. Mbps for RM2. 99. If you don’t want to pay the premium for 5.

Mbps, they also have lower tier plans rated at 1. Mbps and 3. 00. Mbps that costs RM1. Watch Gang Money Run 4Shared.

RM1. 89 respectively. With TIME, you don’t get many luxuries in terms of add- ons, just raw Internet speed. In this aspect, TIME is unmatched by the other local fibre broadband operators, but, they have their hands tied when it comes to coverage as TIME’s services only extend to 2. Most of TIME’s ports can be found in apartments and condos so if you’re living on a landed property, odds are, you won’t be able to subscribe to TIME.

Maxis. ONE Home. Maxis are notorious for not participating in price wars, instead, opting to improve customer service and reliability. With that in mind, Maxis launched their latest Maxis. ONE Home fibre broadband plans which focus on customer service and installation experience. What they’ve come up with is the Maxperts which, in their own words.

SWAT- like team of Internet experts” who specialise in optimising your Internet connection. We can see how this is useful for those who are less than tech- savvy, but if you are anything like us, the services these Maxperts provide become much less valuable as you could probably do the optimising yourself. In true Maxis fashion, their fibre plans are the most expensive in this comparison. For the base 2. 0Mbps plan, Maxis are charging RM1.

Mbps plan is going for RM2. You will also have to be subscribed to a Maxis. ONE Plan (excluding the Maxis. ONE Plan Lite) before you are eligible to subscribe to the Maxis.

ONE Home. To make matters worse, the prices mentioned above are after a special promo discount for Maxis. ONE Plan 1. 28 and above customers. That means, if you’re a Maxis. ONE Plan 9. 8 subscriber, you will still have to pay the full price of RM1. Mbps, RM2. 70 for 3. Mbps and RM3. 98 for 1.

Mbps. Speaking of the 1. Mbps plan, this plan is only available within Maxis’ own area of coverage (which reaches 7.

TM. Besides that, you will have to be a Maxis. ONE Plan 1. 58, 1. Maxis. ONE Business and Maxis. ONE Business Extra to be eligible for the RM3.

Celcom Home Broadband. Celcom became the latest player to join the recent home fibre network race when they released their Home Broadband service.

After their earlier agreement with TM, Celcom can now utilise TM’s HSBB network to provide home fibre broadband plans to their customers. Their plan offers a speed of 1. Mbps for RM1. 45/month. The caveat is that this plan is only available for Celcom FIRST Gold subscribers in the Klang Valley area. That said, the plan itself isn’t that attractive. If you’re only interested in paying the bare minimum for fibre Internet connectivity and are a Celcom FIRST Gold subscriber, then perhaps this plan could be for you. Celcom are also offering a 5. Home Broadband subscription so that could be quite attractive for the user on a budget.

However, if you’re a moderate or above user, you’d be better off topping up a little bit extra for two or three times faster speeds with Maxis Fibre or Uni. Fi. You could also just top up RM4 for 1. Mbps if you happen to find yourself within TIME’s coverage area. Conclusion. In all honesty, these four companies aren’t exactly direct competitors because (especially in the case of TIME) you either have one or the other. Besides Maxis, Celcom and TM, these services rarely overlap. That said, it is worth taking a look at who can provide the most well- rounded package out there. If it was up to me and I could choose between these three services, I would pick TIME.

I’m a heavy Internet user so all I care about is Internet speed and stability — I don’t need all the extra goodies like IPTV bundles and calls or streaming subscriptions. But, I’m willing to bet that not many share my usage habits. So, if I were to consider the average household — including family members, guests, children, etc. TM’s Uni. Fi Advance and Pro plans provide the most well- rounded fibre experience. They’ve got free iflix (which my mum loves to watch old movies on), clear free- to- air TV channels (which my dad loves), and a fast enough download speed + low latency for my gaming needs. A decent compromise that will probably tick the most boxes for the average family.
