I had very bad experience with Freshtel. (WORSE THAN TM NET) The network is consistently not stable sometimes even dropped to 1mbps when my scubscription was 30mbps.

This lady named Cavy from customer service hang up my phone when i was complaining about their poor network and after sales service. Seriously? And telling me that complain to sales person is no use and they have no any record of my feedback in the past. Wow, very good taichi skill.

I wouldn't recommend Freshtel to be your internet provider because if you sign up today, next month they will have better promotion and says that you're not entitled because you're tied to previous contract. Their package is inconsistent which depends on areas and competitive levels, different price every month (normally they'll lower the price down after few months when sales is bad and the early subscribers will not enjoy this benefit, very unprofessional.

I'm terminating Freshtel end of this month, ending my nightmare which lasts for months. Deposit was RM500 and you have to return the modem and router to them before they refund, cheapskate company.

Hi. I served in the Royal Malaysian Navy base in Lumut. I just discovered that FreshTel is the ISP for free Wifi service inside the naval base. I guessed they got a contract with RMN or something.

Once I've attended a meeting in KL HQ, they mentioned something about the budget allocated for this wifi service, which I'd say very very cheap, even TM can't compete. Service is pretty good, except for some office area, covered by wifi coverage, but no connection. I've been told that there are some fibre or main switch problem. But other area the connectivity is good.

I too have never heard of this ISP nor seen any ads about services this ISP is offering to the public. Glad to know it is good company.

I'm already not working with Freshtel anymore so I can't confirm if they are still providing for RMN Lumut, but I know that most of them are ex-Yes4G people

my place got no unifi service, according to the TM Point there are no more PORT at my area and have to wait 3 to 6 months. Apparently this company come to our building and offering slightly lower price compare to TM/Time and able to provide internet service to my unit at legend height.

so far no issue and speedtest is ok.
