Hi all, I'm looking for options for home broadband.

I'm using streamyx(unifi lite) 1mb (yes 1mb, the free upgrade not happen to my area as it not support higher spd).

I'm here to looking for any other available options as 1mb is way too slow. Also my cousin is living with me and he is a student, therefore, any student offer would take into consideration as well.

Thanks in advance for anyone contribute in this discussion.

First, find out which mobile telco has the highest speed at your area. You can buy prepaids & run Speedtest.

second, avoid yes like the plague
third, read the fine prints.i.e; unlimited data doesnt mean unlimited high speed data

If have fiber
Recommend 1. Time 2. Unifi 3. Celcom 4. Maxis (decide on cheapest la)

If no fiber
Recommend
1. Unifi air RM79 SIM ONLY
2. Digi Infiniti RM150 or RM100(cap 10mbps)
3. Yes4g Konfem Unlimited RM30 PREPAID (Only for light user 4mbps capped)

Not Recommend 1. Umobile 2. Celcom 3. Maxis 4. Any other small xox/hotlink/yoodoo/redtune are all garbage

Always take no contract. Use first no good then change.

Problem with most cellular plan: traffic congestion at night.
Are you OK with that?
