if you are existing Astro subscriber, it's definitely worth for you to take up Astro & broadband together, as you will be getting monthly rebate up to RM35 /month, for 2years

In some condo / apartment, it will be available via Time fibres.

by the way, Astro will be no longer offering TIME fibre starting Jan 2021.

TM - Supply Fiber
Maxis - Supply your service
Astro - Supply your TV

So 3 companies comes to your place to install if you want to apply.

What about those existing customer who tied with TIME fiber and astro leh?
Automatic disconnect? unsure.gif

Those with existing TIME will still continue, and Astro will still provide support on this.

No, only 2 parties involve if you're applying Astro & Broadband.
TM installer to lay the cable, and Astro installer to configure / replace you decoder (upgrade to Ultrabox)

let's talk about download p2p ...
Do u think that astro will allow u to download bt ?
Maybe first month , yes ....following months ...
I doubt they will allow ...

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.

of course they do, no one gonna pay that much without rebate, in the end it became a cycle,

contract end --> renew

imo, better to avoid this package bcs astro gonna locked u in contract forever

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.
watch tv channel plan cover by astro.

Then download p2p have to ask grandpa maxis see whether allow
or not .
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.

Hahahaha..
by the way, Astro is also the authorize reseller for Allo broadband as well. Same thing, bundling with Astro package with great monthly rebate.
