Data is getting more affordable thanks to plans from providers such as Maxis. The company unveiled a brand new package which makes being connected even more affordable with prices starting at MYR299. The new package takes their current MaxisONE packages and supercharges it with unlimited data and even fibre broadband.
The new Maxis Family plan bundles fibre internet or a Home 4G WiFi connection and unlimited data for up to four lines. The four lines consist of a single principal line with three supplementary. The base package which will cost you MYR299 bundles a 30Mbps fibre broadband connection with the four Maxis mobile lines. However, subscribers will be able to opt for higher connection speeds at a premium. The 100Mbps connection will cost an additional MYR40 while the 300Mbps will cost an additional MYR60, 500Mbps an additional MYR130 and the 800Mbps an additional MYR210. These charges are incurred monthly. If additional mobile lines are required, they are available for MYR48 a month.
However, to sweeten the deal, Maxis is offering an appealing slew of devices for subscribers through their Zerolution plans. Subscribers are able to get a 65-inch Samsung 4K UHD television for as low as MYR1 a month for 24 months. Of course, this will be on the highest plan which includes the 800Mbps connection at MYR509. All four lines under the new Family Plan will also be able to get devices under the Zerolution programme with instalments starting at MYR19 a month each.
The new plan comes in light of the increased data consumption of Malaysians. As noted by Arjun Varma, Head of Maxis Consumer, “Our insights have shown that families in Malaysia are using more data and there is a demand for a seamless digital experience for children, spouses and even the elderly living at home. With the Maxis Family Plan, we want each one of them to have unlimited high-speed data at a very affordable value per line along with high-speed broadband and also access to latest smartphones, tablets and smart TVs.”
