News & Reviews:   Unifi

While the tech media are geeking out over CES 2020, unifi silently announced a new package plan called unifi Mobile Travel Pass. As a Strategic Telecommunication Partner for the Visit Malaysia 2020 initiative, this plan is meant for tourists visiting from overseas with unlimited data starting from RM30. 

We are just in the middle of the week but here's some #khabarbaik news! If you've been thinking of subscribing to unifi Mobile 99, unifi has just announced that the postpaid plan has been deducted to just RM59 instead of RM99/monthly! In other words, you'll be saving RM480 yearly (win liao lo). But that said, this also means that it's for new subscribers. 

unifi has recently announced starting from 1 October 2019 until 31 December 2019, any new unifi Home or unifi Biz customers will be able to enjoy free internet until 31 December 2019. But that’s not all, existing customers who renewed their unifi contract within the promo period would be able to enjoy free internet until the end of 2019.

Opensignal are back with their Mobile Network Experience Report for Malaysia September 2019 with the clear winner being Celcom with awards in the Latency Experience, 4G Availability and best Video Experience. Maxis maintained and solidified their position as "King of Speed" by getting awards in both Upload and Download speed while U Mobile improved leaps and bounds with 75% faster download speeds. Surprise contender Unifi stepped up offering Best Voice App experience (for when you make calls using apps like WhatsApp and so forth) but also improved in terms of video experience as well.

With our local government increasingly supporting eSports, the latest news is about the Selangor Cyber Games 2019 and the registration has officially started. According to the Selangor government, four game titles have been announced for the tournament with a total prize money up to RM215,000.

We recently managed to get some time to ask Moharmustaqeem Mohammed, Acting Executive Vice President of unifi some questions, particularly about unifi, unifi lite, Streamyx, 5G and more. There's some value information amongst the wall of text so do check them out below.

As previously rumoured, Telekom Malaysia Berhad has unveiled a #khabarbaik announcement that the Unifi Air is real and official. Coming with unlimited internet data, the official price is just RM79/month and in addition to that, the Unifi Lite and Streamyx also got a new price tag RM69/month, as well as a new MyUnifi app for managing various related features.

Telekom Malaysia Berhad or TM recently announced that a plan has been submitted to increase the overall coverage and Internet quality, while existing Streamyx customers can expect price cuts from RM160 to RM69 per month. New Streamyx customers can get an 8Mbps broadband package at RM89 per month while a wireless broadband alternative will be offered as well.

An image has been spotted on the Lowyat forums, showcasing what seems to be the upcoming unifi AIR which will be offered by unifi. The image highlighted that the upcoming subscription service could be priced at RM79, and it will come with unlimited data quota.

When Unifi first introduced their Unifi Basic Plan, with speeds of up to 30Mbps for only RM79 a month. However, there is also a 60GB internet quota with the subscription plan that reduces the speed down to 512Kbps. The aforementioned data quota was never implemented due to festivities and special occasions such as Lunar New Year, until now.
