Based on a report from Lowyat.net, there seems to be a Streamyx promo circulating around offering 8Mbps for RM100 a month and 4Mbps for RM90 a month. Not only that, the promo also offers unifi TV set top box as well as a wireless router and a DECT phone included in the packages mentioned. However, the promo is only available to newly registered customers only and not available to existing Streamyx customers.

Previously we have reported that TM Unifi had announced their unifi Basic Plan which has speeds of up to 30Mbps. But there's a catch, customers who subscribe to the Basic Plan is capped at 60GB data quota, it is only available to households who have a total income of less than RM4500 and it is available exclusively on the TM Unifi's official website.

You can pre-order the unifi Basic Plan which offers 30Mbps for RM79 a month with a 60GB data cap. However, customers are required to present a payslip to prove that their household is currently earning less than RM4500 a month or BRIM acceptance letter in order to sign up for the unifi Basic Plan. Not only that, they have to be within unifi covered areas and be at least 18 and above.

Unifi has been hinting on their social media profiles that the Unifi Turbo Plan will offer 10 times increase in broadband speeds at no additional cost to existing home and business customers. There was no specifics regarding the exact speed increase but that will be known soon during a briefing held by TM next week on the 12 July 2018, which should give us a better clue as what to expect from the Unifi Turbo Plan such as the price of the plan as well as the speeds that it offers.

Starting this month, Telekom Malaysia has announced that they will be introducing a new Unifi 30Mbps plan for less than RM100 a month aimed towards the B40 income groups of the Malaysian population. The main difference between this plan as compared to the existing Unifi plans available is the lack of an IPTV which is typically included.

Our pals at Lowyat.net shared that TM is in the initial stages of upgrading and doubling up Internet speeds in Malaysia throughout the whole of next year. The upgrade will be in stages, but will involve most TM customers out there.

For those who are looking for a house to buy in the near future, getting one from I&P Group may be your best choice. Why? With every new purchase of a house, the developer will throw in a free one-year subscription for TM Unifi 30Mbps, complete with the HyppTV Aneka Pack.
