News & Reviews:   astro announce

During the weekend, Astro celebrated and launched the grand opening of its largest Astro Experience Store, located in IOI City Mall, Putrajaya. The new store offers customers an experience of discovering Astro’s latest range of products and services. 

During the weekend, Astro announced that all Astro customers enjoy a free preview of 10 selected channels on TV and Astro GO. This is a gesture of appreciation for the support received at the Putra Brand Awards 2022.

Today, Astro has launched the all-new BIZfibre as a next-gen broadband service with a WiFi-6-certified router for SMEs. Powered by Astro Fibre, it was designed to complement its commercial TV Packs, offering live sports, the biggest TV shows, blockbuster movies and breaking news from a starting price of RM239. 

In conjunction with the introduction of the Disney+ Hotstar app appearing on the Astro Ulti Box, Astro is also pleased to introduce some new updates for the Ultra and Ulti Boxes, as well as Astro Go. Astro users can now make use of the Multi-User profile, thumbnail viewing, search enhancements and launching Netflix directly.

Today, Astro has finally introduced the Disney+ Hotstar app on its Astro Ulti Box. As many of you know, the app itself is not available on most smart TVs (except Android-stock ones) and other TV boxes, so it's a nice addition to the Ulti Box.

That's right, folks. The Astro Premium 1, 2 and 3 or Platinum Pack has dropped to RM99.99 per month! The original pricing was RM194.99 and this promotion will go on for six months but that being said, this is only valid for new Astro customers starting today onwards on a first-come-first-serve basis. 

It wasn't that long ago when Astro introduced a set of new Astro Fibre broadband bundles. However, the company has a change of mind and decided to release Astro Fibre as a standalone package for those who don't want Astro TV content.

Today, Astro Ultra Box users can now view Disney+ Hotstar just in time for the Raya festive season. Existing customers on Movies, Premium 1, Premium 3 and Platinum Packs will also have access to Disney+ Hotstar and simply need to click on the streaming platform’s app.

Just last night (19 April), Astro's services - Astro Go and On-Demand went offline due to technical issues. However, it seems that both services are now restored before 9 AM this morning. If you own either one of them, you can check if the service is alright now or restart the devices.

Today, Astro just announced a new Astro Fibre broadband bundled with its TV content packages. Aimed to deliver the best entertainment experience and broadband value, it starts with an all-new Pek Jimat Kencang RM129 which includes 50Mbps, a Primary Pack consisting of more than 85 channels, and a free Mesh WiFi for 12 months.
