Statement on discontinuation of new registration for unifi LITE and Business Broadband
As we embrace the digital lifestyle, we can expect an increase in consumer demand for faster connectivity. To satisfy this need, Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) through unifi continues to drive digital connectivity through the accelerated expansion of fibre network nationwide. This is also in support of the Jalinan Digital Negara (JENDELA) action plan to deliver enhanced connectivity experience to all Malaysians.
Towards this end, as well as in answering the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC)'s call for the provision of high-speed broadband services, unifi has discontinued new registrations for its copper-based broadband services, namely unifi Lite (Streamyx) and Business Broadband.
We wish to inform that all our existing unifi Lite and Business Broadband customers will be migrated to the fibre-based unifi service in phases, expected to be completed by 2025. We will reach out to these customers via emails, letters, calls and SMSes, to ensure a seamless migration experience. Until then, all existing unifi Lite and Business Broadband customers will still enjoy their broadband service as is, with no disruption.
Should these customers be interested to upgrade their subscription to any of the fibre-based unifi packages that provide more value for their money before the migration exercise, they can reach out to us via 100, Live Chat at unifi.com.my, the myunifi app, or just visit any nearest TMpoint.

TM’S PAKEJ PERPADUAN JALUR LEBAR TETAP (HOME INTERNET) AIMS TO DRIVE DIGITAL INCLUSIVITY FOR MALAYSIANS
Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) has today announced the launch of its Pakej Perpaduan Jalur Lebar Tetap (Home Internet) for underserved communities in Malaysia, in response to the challenges faced by these key communities in the digital age. The offering is aligned with the Ministry of Communications and Digital’s efforts to address concerns of underserved Malaysians from the B40, the elderly, OKU, and army-police veterans in accessing reliable and affordable internet services. Following Minister of Communications and Digital, YB Fahmi Fadzil’s announcement today during the launching ceremony in Bakar Arang, Sungai Petani, Kedah, Pakej Perpaduan Jalur Lebar Tetap is now available for subscription nationwide. This collaboration between TM and the Government demonstrates the shared commitment to deliver digital inclusivity throughout Malaysia. Underserved communities often experience adversity in accessing the benefits of the digital world and uninterrupted connectivity. Students from low-income households, for example, face challenges in accessing online learning platforms, while job seekers may struggle to find employment opportunities or even in starting up small e-Commerce businesses to support their livelihoods. Additionally, a lack of access to digital services and information can limit options for essential services, such as healthcare and Government services. Via this offering, TM seeks to bridge the digital divide through hyperconnectivity and empower these communities with the necessary tools and resources to succeed in the digital age. “As a conscientious corporate entity, TM has a social responsibility to create a meaningful impact on the community. Unifi’s fixed broadband services will be available at a more affordable rate, ensuring that more Malaysians have access to reliable internet connectivity. This will not only enhance their online experience but also enable them to participate in the digital economy, which is crucial for the country's economic growth,” said Tengku Muneer Tengku Muzani, TM’s Chief Corporate and Regulatory Officer. “Access to good connectivity will enable greater access to education and job opportunities, as well as information and services that are increasingly being delivered online. It will also allow individuals to stay connected with their loved ones, regardless of physical distance. Furthermore, it will provide a platform for underserved communities to voice their concerns and engage in broader societal discourse.” “TM stands as the foremost provider of fixed broadband services in Malaysia, delivering superior connectivity and services, bridging the digital divide. As a Public Listed Company (PLC) and Government-Linked Company (GLC), TM is uniquely positioned to balance the interests of its stakeholders, ensuring commercial sustainability while enabling digital inclusivity and driving national development initiatives. With a commitment to excellence and innovation, TM remains dedicated to delivering the best broadband experience and driving a Digital Malaysia. We remain committed to providing innovative solutions and services that cater to the evolving needs of all Malaysians. We believe that everyone should have equal access to the benefits of the digital world, and are proud to be at the forefront of this effort,” added Muneer. Unifi’s Pakej Perpaduan Jalur Lebar Tetap offers an unlimited fixed broadband package at RM69 with savings of RM480 across 24-months, for all new and existing Unifi customers from those key target segments. Registration is open until 31 December 2023 for all eligible subscribers, but will be limited to only one (1) package per person. Earlier in March, TM also announced Pakej Perpaduan Prabayar Mudah Alih (Prepaid Mobile) and together, these services will enable ubiquitous connectivity and reinforces TM’s fixed-mobile convergence leadership, offering integrated fixed broadband, mobile services, and digital content to more Malaysians. Both of these offerings will be provided through Unifi Home and Unifi Mobile respectively. “The benefits of this initiative are manifold, and we hope to better empower underserved communities and give them access to the resources and opportunities that the internet has to offer. This initiative is a testament of our commitment to social responsibility and in creating a more connected world. It also speaks to our vision of becoming a human-centred TechCo, leveraging technologies to provide equal opportunities for every Malaysian. Through our role in digital nation building, we are committed to serving the nation’s interest more directly and to bring greater impact to our diverse communities,” concluded Muneer.
