considering?
i'm already determined to. enough of this shit.

pay to avoid advertisement, yet have advertisement in-between, above, left, right, bottom, front, rear, even on info bar, ....

auto-renewing contract? or else pay more to avoid?

force bundle hotstar when i am already getting it "free" as part of unifi's tv pack?

force bundle netflix when i don't even have the need for it before?

astro's days are numbered. 14mth more towards ceasing payment altogether.
and for my mom, i'm switching to either myfreeview or to njoi.

and the most retarded of all; cheesy soap drama melayu where everyone is either a datuk, a dato', a tan sri, a pengarah, a jeneral, a datin, a ketua HR pekerja 5 juta orang, ....

Me too contract until june 2023. Will either downgrade to its cheapest package or change to NJOI.

7. Introducing, contract auto-renewal
Imagine subscribing to Astro TV packs and getting a 24-month contract, which lasts from the year 2022-2024 for example.
Just 1 month before your contract period ends, you will receive an SMS reminder from Astro, saying that your contract will auto renew itself on the next month.
If you do nothing by the next month and continue living your life as usual, then the system will automatically renew/extend another 24 months contract. So, instead of your contract suppose to end in 2024, now it extends itself to 2026.

If you don't want any contract after completing the 24 months (which means you don't want it to auto-renew or extend the contract further), then you’ll need to contact Astro customer service before the contract period ends, and they'll advise you further whether you want to proceed with the No Contract option rate or the 12 month contract option rate thereafter. For example:

Primary Pack

  • RM59.99/month for 24 month contract
  • RM64.99/month for 12 month contract
  • RM74.99/month for 0 month contract (No Contract)
You've been paying Primary Pack price of RM59.99 per month for the past 24 months. Now you've decided that you don't want the contract (so that you could terminate Astro anytime), therefore from the 25th month onwards, your Astro subscription fee will become RM74.99 per month instead of RM59.99 per month like what you've been enjoying for the past 24 months. That’s right, you don't want it to auto-renew also means you got to pay the rate for the 0-month contract option thereafter.

Or maybe you want to have a shorter commitment (perhaps you intend to terminate Astro within 1-2 years). In this case, you can consider extending the contract but with 12 month contract option instead. If you do that, then your Primary Pack subscription will increase from RM59.99/month (24 month rate) to RM64.99/month (12 month rate) upon the expiry/renewal of your contract period. Even so, the 12 month contract will still be on an auto renewal basis. So do contact Astro if you want to make changes/re-evaluate your auto renewal contract options when the time comes.

In case you wonder, this "rule" does state in their T&C. So, the moment you sign up for these new Astro packs, it also means you are deemed consent; you agree with the contract auto-renewal rule.
Therefore, whether you want to pay more or pay less thereafter, the choice is yours.

There shall be no penalty fee if you terminate right before the contract auto-renewal kicks in, as long you give them a 1 month notice in advance.

8. No Contract option costs up to RM25/month more expensive compared to 24 month contract option
Compare between 0 month vs 24 month contract option, the difference in monthly fees would be around RM15/month to RM25/month higher.
For 0 month vs 12 month contract option, it’ll be between RM10/month to RM15/month higher. Not only that, a one-time installation fee and/or activation fee may apply if you opt for either 0 month or 12 month contract option too.

"Installer Assisted" usually refers to the regular satellite dish installation.
If you opt for Plug & Play, usually they'll ship the box to your doorstep through courier, and you set it up yourself.

Basically, FREE standard installation or setup fee is only eligible for:

  • Existing Astro customers that upgrade to Ultra Box, and then subscribe to at least Entertainment Pack (24-month contract) and above.
  • For those who opt for Ulti Box for Multiroom with 24-month contract
  • Whoever subscribes to Astro Fibre (Non-standard installation charges may apply if the installation involves additional works such as over-ceiling cabling, over-roof cabling, underground cabling, etc.)
Meanwhile, if you opt for Astro Fibre, then the only contract option for you is 24 months, and the standard installation is free. 0 month or 12-month contract option simply doesn’t exist for Astro Fibre.

If you terminate the service within or before the contract ends, penalty fees for Ultra Box are RM1000 prorated, non-Ultra Box is RM600 prorated, meanwhile Astro Fibre (Internet service itself) is RM100 x remaining months of the contract period.
More info here: https://support.astro.com.my/question/how-a...-fee-calculated

9. No RM10 switching fee for existing legacy pack users that switches to the new packs
You want to switch to the new packs, and the total price is lower than what you’ve been paying on your legacy packs. Don’t worry, they won’t charge you a RM10 switching fee for that. But it is only just this time, ya.
And definitely, once you move to the new packs, you can’t go back to the legacy packs anymore, so it is a one-way ticket, definitely not a round-trip ticket.

10. Primary Pack customers will not be getting Ultra Box
This rule applies especially for new Astro customer:
If you subscribe to Primary Pack, you will be getting Ulti Box.
If you want Ultra Box, then you have to subscribe to higher tier packs than Primary Pack, such as Entertainment Pack (RM89.99/month for 24m contract) or higher.
HD Zapper and PVR box won’t be offered to Astro customers anymore, so no need to think about that, no matter how much you love it.

Back in legacy pack days, all you need is at least on Starter Pack (RM61.32 per month) and above to get Ultra Box.
But today if you want to get Ultra Box, you need to choose Entertainment Pack (from RM89.99 per month) or any higher package tier to be eligible.

Perhaps because not many non-Astro usetsllrs subscribe to Sooka. They want to gain subscribers and gradually increase the price first

Seems like Astro is not that popular in East Malaysia and due to Gawai & Kaamatan, they offer free installation, free kids pack and Korean pack for 1 year.

I watched a LIVE show on ASTRO WARNA MEGA SPONTAN and some words are bleeped. So is it really live or delayed by few (or more) minutes for censorship purpose? Since this is Astro in house channel
