The internet is nothing to do with Astro. it's basically 2 different thing (standalone) but bundling into a promo package.
As you can see the bill posted by some1, it shows as Maxis Broadband.

That rebate valid for 24 months. This month marked the 13th month into the contract. icon_rolleyes.gif

During first few months of MCO period, Asstro gave extra RM20 discount on sport pack + all channels viewing. I was paying RM109.20 per month. icon_idea.gif

I believe most of the ISPs are using the same retention strategy & promo. The ISPs will offer you with latest promo, to recontract the customer.
Same goes to telco companies which they will be offering you with new phone, TV kind of promo..etc
Of course, customer would have the final said in, to renew or to switch..

Thanks for the info.
I didn't know astro do the rojak way to introduce the broadband.
internet cover by grandpa maxis.

Then download p2p have to ask grandpa maxis see whether allow

Sigh....malaysia is like that.
As i observed hong kong , japan , taiwan and korea they throttle
p2p as well.Some of them didn't , it depends on ISP that u subscribe.

hey guys

very interested with this package

so the guy i call astro says that the free upgrade is for 24month contract: which mean i pay RM128. 95 for 30Mbps + Starter Pack

my worries come from the internet it self.. will raining cause issue like astro normally do

i assume it wont since i read here is base on Astro & Broadband berkolaberasi bersama Maxis Home Fibre

anything i should know or caution about before i apply? i need it for my work purpose ( which heavy con call daily)
if i take the 30Mbps + Starter Pack = The broadband will show RM89 in the bill?

1. Nope, it's using maxis fiber for internet
2. If you internet goes down you may experience delay in contacting support....if for example, the fiber cable putus,you'll need to call Astro&Broadband department to complain and they will forward the issue to maxis and then TM.
3. The internet bill will show on astro bill
joshHD can give better explaination I belive
