TIME Fibre Home BroadbandTM  

Speed Upgrades

What is the complimentary speed upgrade all about?

We launched a 1Gbps plan, and introduced new retail subscription fees for our 100Mbps and 500Mbps TIME Fibre Home Broadband plans.

We want to make sure that our existing subscribers (before 7 October 2018) get to enjoy these new higher speed plans so you’ve been automatically upgraded! You get to enjoy your new speed at the lower retail price or continue to pay your current subscription fee, whichever is lower. On top of that, there are no changes to your contract term.

Thank you for sticking with us and we hope you’ll have lots of fun with your new speeds.

*Astro IPTV subscribers: The complimentary speed upgrades are not currently available for Astro IPTV subscriptions, but we are continuously working with our partners to provide you with better plans. If you have further queries, kindly contact Astro Customer Service.

**TIME Fibre Business Internet subscribers: The automatic speed upgrade and price adjustment is not currently available, but we are working very hard to improve the services we deliver to you. Please stay tuned.

I have subscribed to TIME Fibre Home Broadband but my service has not been activated yet. Am I eligible?

Of course you are! We’ll get you set up on the plan that you’ve subscribed to on the installation date you’ve chosen. Within a week of activation, you too will be upgraded.

If you’ve selected the 12-month contract option, however, you will be required to make the payment of the one-time charge of RM300 by 7th October 2018 in order to receive your upgrade.

How do I know if my speed has been upgraded?

We’ll send you an email and text message once it’s done, and you can log in to Self Care to view your updated subscription information. You can also perform a speed test here.

We always recommend performing a speed test by connecting your desktop or laptop computer to your router using a CAT-5e LAN cable, as you may not be able to achieve full speeds over WiFi. Click here to learn how you can have the best experience over WiFi.

I’ve checked but it doesn’t look like my speed has been upgraded. What do I do?

Please try restarting your router and performing another speed test. We always recommend performing a speed test by connecting your desktop or laptop computer to your router using a CAT-5e LAN cable, as you may not be able to achieve full speeds over WiFi.

Will my current TIME-provided router be able to deliver the new speed I have been upgraded to?

Our TP-Link AC1200 and D-Link DIR-882 routers are capable of delivering speeds of up to 1Gbps over a wired connection, and up to 500Mbps over WiFi.

Will all my devices be compatible with these speeds?

Newer desktop and laptop computers that come with a Gigabit Ethernet (GE) port are capable of reaching speeds beyond 100Mbps (as opposed to Fast Ethernet ports) over a wired connection. Most wireless devices in the market, however, are not yet capable of reaching speeds beyond 500Mbps. The bright side is that they’re more than capable of handling your online activities. Click here to check out how most of these devices typically perform in a household.

If you’ve been with us for at least 12 months and we have not upgraded your router during this time, you’re eligible for a complimentary upgrade now. Don’t worry if you do not fulfill this criteria, you’re still able to purchase a new router at a subsidised price. You can head to Self Care to complete your request for either option.

When will I be getting the new subscription fees?

The new subscription fees will be reflected in bills that are issued from 15 October 2018 onwards.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan if I want something else?

Yes, you can modify your plan on Self Care, but any discounts you may currently be enjoying will not be carried over to your new plan.

Please refer to the table below for more details.

Note: The free router option for any plan upgrade is only available to subscriptions of at least 12 months.

I have subscribed to TIME Fibre Home Broadband but my service has not been activated yet. Do I have the option of upgrading or downgrading my current plan?
