KUALA LUMPUR: Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) has unveiled a new entry-level broadband-only plan, priced at RM79 per month, for the bottom 40% (B40) households earning below RM4,500 a month.

Dubbed “unifi basic” and to be rolled out on Aug 15, TM said the price of the new plan — which has a 30Mbps Internet speed and comes with a 60GB monthly usage quota — is 55.87% lower than a similar plan it is currently offering at RM179 per month.

“The new plan marks our commitment to bringing better affordability and price, speed and coverage for all Malaysians to enjoy a seamless digital experience with unifi,” TM acting group chief executive officer Datuk Bazlan Osman told a media briefing yesterday.

Currently, TM’s unifi broadband service comes with three Internet speeds: 10Mbps, 30Mbps and 100Mbps. “The starting broadband speed is 10Mbps, and with the new plan, consumers will begin at a much higher Internet speed of 30Mbps, which will suit the current lifestyle,” Bazlan added.

Bazlan said the company is eyeing its existing pool of 800,000 home unifi customers, along with some 2.7 million people from the B40 income group.

“Pre-booking will begin as early as July 15 through our website,” he added.
