After years of saving, I finally have enough to move out of my parents' house and into a studio apartment I just bought. Not only will I be the man of the house, but I could go out or invite friends over without anyone nagging me.

That might sound nice and all, but it still doesn't change the fact that I'm responsible for paying my own utility bills such as water and electricity. Thankfully, Digi recently unveiled their brand new Digi Fibre Broadband which bundles together postpaid and Digi Fibre home plan into one simple package. (Yay! Fewer bills to pay!)

But that's not all, I heard that the package actually costs less than getting the plans individually, and they also come with free goodies such as up to 24 months of Viu membership when you sign up. Plans are priced as low as RM90 a month for Home Fibre and RM38 for the postpaid plan. But let's have a closer look at the Digi Fibre Broadband, shall we?

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.

Starting from today onwards, Digi has announced that they will be offering fibre broadband in the selected areas starting from as low as RM99 for 50Mbps and RM129 for 100Mbps as well as unlimited internet data quota.

Barely a few days after Facebook services went down across the globe, TIME Broadband seems to be experiencing technical difficulties resulting the a total disconnect for all TIME Broadband customers which started around 8PM, 16 April 2019.

Unifi has recently updated its website to include a new Fibre Broadband package, starting from a promotional RM199 for speeds up to 300Mbps download as well as upload speeds of up to 50Mbps. Based on the FAQ document, once the promotion ends on 30 June 2019, the price will revert back to its original cost of RM259. That being said, if you sign up before the promotional period ends, the promo price of RM199 a month will be charged indefinitely until the account is terminated.
