Looking for an alternative to the Unifi Fibre Broadband service from Telekom Malaysia? Or perhaps you are not able to subscribe due to “port full” or no coverage? Here’s are 9 alternatives to the Unifi Home Fibre Broadband service in Malaysia.
1. TIME Fibre Home Broadband
The fixed broadband service from TIME dotCom is currently the fastest in Malaysia, available to consumers, according to global speedtest platform, Ookla.
There are 3 fixed broadband packages are available from TIME, from 100Mbps to 1Gbps.

Editor’s comment: Unlike unifi which requires that you pay a termination penalty up to 23-months, TIME is the only major fixed broadband provider that gives you the option to sign up for a no contract plan, allowing you to terminate the service without any penalty. The 3 plans above are available without contract, for a “one-time charge of RM400”, at the same monthly price (RM99/RM139/RM199). Unfortunately, TIME Fibre Home Broadband is only available at selected condominium/apartments.
