Celcom Axiata Bhd will be gradually upgrading the internet speed of its existing Celcom Home Fibre customers in Sabah to 100 megabits per second (Mbps) until the end of September 2018 at lower prices or no cost at all.

From Sept 16 onwards, in conjunction with Malaysia Day, the Celcom Home Fibre™ and Celcom Business Fibre™ plans will be available with internet speeds of up to 100Mbps at half the price.

This is in line with the government’s call for nationwide high-speed broadband accessibility at affordable prices.

Customers who are currently subscribed to the Home Fibre™120 package will see the speed of their internet increase by 10 times to 100Mbps at no extra cost.

As for customers who are subscribed to Home Fibre™ 150 and 180 at 20Mbps and 40Mbps packages respectively, they will be automatically upgraded to internet speeds at a reduced price of only RM120 per month.

For business owners, Celcom Business Fibre™ Gold Supreme offers unlimited high-speed fibre internet with speeds up to 100Mbps at only RM130 per month, while Celcom Business Fibre™ Gold offers unlimited high-speed fibre internet speeds up to 40Mbps at RM90 per month.

The Celcom Business Fibre™ also comes together with free installation, a free dect phone and a free wireless router.

“Celcom is making broadband services more affordable by reducing its Celcom Home Fibre™ and Celcom Business Fibre™ prices by half, while offering more than double the speed for internet, said Celcom’s CEO Mohamad Idham Nawawi in a statement.

We will continuously work towards expanding our fibre technology and high-speed broadband internet access for businesses and communities in both urban and rural areas, further upholding the government’s agenda for nationwide broadband penetration,” he added.

He noted that every Malaysian should have the opportunity to be digitally adept and have access to high-speed internet without being burdened financially.

Celcom’s advanced broadband fibre service for homes and businesses has been enhanced in Sabah to deliver more than double the speed of high-speed internet fibre connection service at affordable prices.
