The new price of CelcomDigi is either they help others to increase their subscriber or they acted as industry big brother to stop the prices wars.

Yes, TM Unifi Fiber and Celcom, being GLCs, are the "kings" in rural areas and small towns where they have a captive market. Also TM HSBB Wholesale is a monopoly, especially in West Malaysia. Hence, TM Unifi Fiber and CelcomDigi could afford to set higher prices with bigger profit margins for their services, compared to the non-GLC telcos and celcos who mostly only service urban and suburban areas, in order to be able to compete against the 2 "kingly" GLCs.
Eg with the new cheaper 2023 MSAP wholesale prices set by MCMC, TM Unifi Fiber could afford to maintain it's higher prices and bigger profit margins by just giving free speed upgrades to existing subscribers and abolishing the lowest tier Unifi Fiber plans of 30Mbps and 50Mbps, ie the new lowest tier Fiber plan is 100Mbps at RM99 per month (without rebate).
....... Those who chose not to take up the free speed upgrade and opt to pay lower monthly subscriptions at the same speed are forced to be re-contracted for another 24 months.
....... Isn't greedy TM using a loophole or legal bypass.?
Seems the GLCs of TM and Celcomdigi are even the "Big Brother" of MCMC and Fahmi, compared to the Gobind era in 2018-2020, =
"The tail is wagging the dog.", not the dog is wagging the tail.
In the end, the Rakyat Rugi.
