no. my contract ends on 14 dec 2025. Only 15 dec 2025 onwards i can recontract.

i want to switch to 200Mbps rm99 (no contract) after my contract ended before i try to ask for any promo.


besides, just now i checked unifi website for coverage, the apartment i stay seems to be under coverage now.
maybe i should switch to unifi instead.

ya. can only wait till then try to get the deal from time. If they bother to retain.

unifi 300Mbps is rm129, so it is just slightly cheaper but upload speed is 50Mbps only, that's the catch comparing to time i think.

rm129 i think, the rm10 off the retail price of rm139 is permanent.

nevertheless, i really do not need the speed, so 200Mbps no contract at rm99 may suit me more.

U mean 2 years contract? Never know that they have 3 years now.

Ya this needs 2 years contract also. Basically any benefit can enjoy from normal subscription will cause the renewal of 2 years contract.

If got free 6 months or what I also do not mind to tie up with 2 years contract since need to use it anyway.

So far I think time 200Mbps at rm99 is the most all rounder plan given that it is only rm10 extra than 100Mbps unifi plan at rm89.

And on top of that it has 200Mbps upload speed which is higher than unifi.

Directly test speed to Internet from router and these are the results.

This is the reason why my device also cannot get full speed nowadays.

not bad deal. will do it after my contract ended in 15 dec 2025.



if rm99 200Mbps free 6 months = effectively rm74.xx before tax per month.

if need fibre internet anyway, no harm to be in contract.

thanks guys for the tips, i had contacted live chat to get the retention team to call back, they said they will call me by today.

retention department called back. said there is 6 months offer in my account but if i use it it will apply to the current 600Mbps contract and recontract it if i proceed with this offer.

as i want to downgrade my plan to 200Mbps, i can only do it when my current contract is over. and by then and see if the 6 months offer is still there.

the CSO cindy said i can call back to look for her on 14 dec 2025 which is the last day of my contract for her to downgrade for me to 200Mbps, and hopefully there is still 6 months free which can start on 15 dec 2025.

so i will wait till then and see how. If the 6 months free is only for 600Mbps and not for 200Mbps even i downgraded at that time, i might as well keep it at 200Mbps no contract since the effective amount to pay monthly if renew 600Mbps plan with 6 months free is also around rm104++ per month that is close to rm99 for 200Mbps anyway. Might as well keep it no contract and stay at the speed i want.

recently took up rm10 monthly rebate offer? meaning u already are enjoying offer rite? ur recent is how recent? 1 year ago? 1 year 3 months ago?? 3 months ago??

u took 1 year recontract with rm10 rebate?

dun get it why would u expect another recontract so soon while u 'just' recontracted??

how many more months contract left u had before u called them up?

How many more months of contract left before u get this retention offer?

2 more months to contract free and to downgrade. 🤪

Urs is 200Mbps?

Why not ask again for promo since no more contract?

For new customers?

I would rather go for 200Mbps time bb if they have promo or discount.

Time 200Mbps is symmetric plan that has equal upload and download speed, will be more useful.

Just by paying a little bit more, the extra speed gain is worthy, not to mention that time bb has shorter contract period.

Yes super long contract.

I tot Unifi many existing customers got rm90 500Mbps plan?

astro is using mostly unifi infra, so as long as unifi is available, astro bb also is available.

Personally I came from unifi which I used for almost 10 years before I switched to time bb (no choice) as the place I stayed only has time bb.

Time bb to be frank is not exactly super superior than unifi. Only more distinct advantage is that the lower end plans time has much faster more upload bandwidth than unifi.

With higher upload speed, it is good but to most users they can hardly utilise much upload bandwidth unless they are content creators like YouTubers etc.
but if u did upload content e.g. to YouTube u also will know that all the content provider they also limit the upload bandwidth for each users, even u have 600Mbps or 1Gbps upload speed it does not mean that u can have such high speed while uploading ur content as it relies a lot on the provider’s server speed.

i dun use cloudflare so it is not an issue to me.

i have not encountered any routing issue for my use case previously for almost 10 years with unifi.

anyone faces buffering issue with 4k video on youtube?

i am on 600Mbps but it has issue streaming 4k video on youtube which it has serious buffering issues a lot of time.
