It's been months since we started compiling the monthly fees for different telco services, and we hope you've found them useful. So far, we've noticed that broadband options seem to change the least. Regardless, here are the best value broadband plans for those on a budget as of May 2023.
Best broadband options under RM100
For broadband plans, you're more likely to see some bonus goodies rather than big promos. Of course, that's not to say there aren't any.
Case in point, the CelcomDigi Fibre deal is still available and probably won't go away anytime soon. Those with selected Celcom or Digi postpaid plans can get a massive rebate on the monthly bill. And as a promotion, new customers can sign up now and enjoy the 300Mbps plan at just RM75 for 6 months.
For alternatives, the TIME Fibre Home 100Mbps plan is an option. It gives you pretty fast Internet speeds at an affordable price, and the connection is generally quite stable. But the caveat is it's only available in high-rise buildings. If you want a more portable plan, the Yes Wireless Fibre is still on promo so it's a good deal.

Best broadband options under RM200
The plans under the RM200 range are mostly the same as last month. If there's one change, it would be that TIME isn't offering free Shoppee vouchers with its plans anymore. But Unifi's Scratch & Win contest is still ongoing, so you might want to check that out.
Other than that, our recommendation remains unchanged. The TIME Fibre Home 500Mbps offers the best value for those who live in high-rise buildings. If your residence is a landed house, the Maxis Home Fibre 300Mbps and Unifi Home 300Mbps are suitable options.
