Both 100Mbps and 300Mbps plans come with a D-Link DIR-850L router. For the ultimate Internet experience, the TIME Home Broadband Fibre 500Mbps<\/a><\/strong> is offered at RM316.94 a month and it comes bundled with a Linksys EA6350 Router.<\/p>\n The basic 100Mbps plan is now competing against Maxis, who offer their 100Mbps plan at RM316.94, and UniFi at RM348.74. That\u2019s about\u00a02x what Time Fibre is offering!<\/p>\n For existing users, the deal is even sweeter as you\u2019d get automatic upgrade to any of the above three packages at the same cost.<\/p>\n\n However, existing customers will need to upgrade their existing wireless router to fully experience the speed upgrade. For existing customers, the router you currently have is only capable of supporting up to 100Mbps. To enjoy the new speeds, existing customers will need to purchase a new compatible router. You may need to purchase your own compatible router or terminate your current plan before moving to the new plan which offers free high spec compatible wireless router worth more than RM700. However, if you were previously on 10Mbps and paying RM136.74 previously, by terminating and getting a new 100Mbps plan, you would have to pay RM157.94 a month \u2013 RM21.20 more every month. This comes up to RM508.80 over two years. It\u2019s a pretty small price to pay considering that you\u2019ll be getting 10x the speed.<\/p>\n New users can immediately sign up for these plans, but unlike previous plans, the new plans only come with a 24-month contract. All these plans have equal download and upload speeds and there is no broadband cap. With symmetrical speeds, if you\u2019re on TIME Home Broadband Fibre 300Mbps<\/a><\/strong>, you\u2019ll be getting 300Mbps for both download and upload, which sounds like a dream come true \u2013 especially for heavy Internet users where speed both ways is key.<\/p>\n |
