Malaysia is on the cusp of a digital revolution, and businesses are being urged to seize the opportunity. The recent unveiling of Malaysia’s first 10Gbps broadband service by ViewQuest signals a significant leap forward in infrastructure, and Minister of Digital, YB Gobind Singh Deo, is calling on Malaysian businesses to leverage this high-speed connectivity and modern technologies to unlock a new era of productivity and innovation.

“This ultra-speed connectivity demonstrates the advanced capabilities and benefits of 10Gbps Internet,” said Gobind Singh Deo at the ViewQuest event. “It is also a testament to Malaysia’s fast and reliable Internet infrastructure and its game-changing impact on Malaysia’s digital future.”
This ultra-speed internet offers a wealth of potential benefits for businesses across all sectors. Imagine streamlining e-commerce operations with lightning-fast data transfer, facilitating real-time data analysis for informed decision-making, or seamlessly integrating cloud-based applications – these are just a few possibilities.
“Ultra-speed Internet will increase productivity, efficiency, and innovation across all industries, such as e-commerce, agriculture, education, healthcare, finance and even government services. Services and production will be 10x faster – if not more,” highlighted the Minister.

By embracing high-speed connectivity and modern technologies, Malaysian businesses can not only improve operational efficiency but also foster a culture of innovation. This can lead to the development of new products and services, improved customer experiences, and ultimately, increased competitiveness in the global marketplace.
The benefits extend beyond internal operations. High-speed internet can bridge the digital divide, allowing businesses to connect with customers and partners across the country and beyond. This fosters a more inclusive digital landscape and opens doors to new markets.
However, Minister Deo acknowledges the importance of cybersecurity alongside these advancements. “Laws and policies to safeguard all parties are extremely important as digital technology continues to evolve,” he said. The recently passed Cyber Security Act and amendments to the Personal Data Protection Act demonstrate the government’s commitment to creating a secure digital environment that fosters trust with customers and investors.
As Malaysia embraces this digital revolution, it positions itself as a hub for innovation and a magnet for global investment. Businesses that leverage high-speed connectivity and modern technologies will be at the forefront of this exciting new chapter. The call to action is clear: Malaysian businesses must seize this opportunity to unlock their full potential and thrive in the digital age.
ViewQwest is upping the ante when it comes to fibre connectivity in Malaysia. Hot off the heels of the company’s launch of its 10Gbps network availability in Singapore, it is now bringing the same high-speed connectivity to Malaysia. The Singaporean ISP is beating local ISPs to the punch and opening the offering to the general public.
The 10Gbps speed offering was launched at one of the first buildings fitted for the network in the heart of Kuala Lumpur – The Stride. The building is one of many sites that are 10Gbps ready. ViewQwest’s new 10Gbps offering will be running on ViewQwest’s own fibre backbone and will provide the speed on a best-effort basis.
That said, the package may not be offered to everyone as it will depend on fibre availability and the available backhaul fibre infrastructure. However, ViewQwest assures that the service will be available in the coming months as infrastructure is rolled out. The package will be offered at a starting price of RM1,800 a month. This pricing doesn’t include any one-time costs that may be incurred during the service installation. Subscription availability will be subject to a site visit. ViewQwest will also be providing WiFi 7 capable routers to fully leverage the speeds that the connection offers.

ViewQwest showcased the connectivity at The Stride Strata Suites at a launch event graced by Minister of Digital, Yang Berhormat Tuan Gobind Singh Deo. To showcase the speeds, the company downloaded a 10GB file in about 45 seconds. This process would have taken about 35 minutes at the minimum with regular 1Gbps or 2Gbps connections that are top-of-the-line in Malaysia now. This would have taken at least an hour on regular 300Mbps and 500Mbps connections that are commonplace in Malaysia. The company also showcased downloading Civilization VI on Steam which took all of 30 seconds for the 24GB install.
The company also did a speed test which showed off the high speeds of the 10Gbps connection. During the test, the network was able to hit about 9.5Gbps peak speeds but averaged about 8.7Gbps. The
Celcom and Digi are now ready to be a unified telco with streamlined plans and a unified brand. Hot off the announcement of the company’s new brand image and colours, CelcomDigi is now unveiling a whole new approach to its converged connectivity services.

Of course, being a mobile network operator, the new plans announced are focused on mobile connectivity. CelcomDigi’s revamped approach to mobile network connectivity is no longer just limited by data usage quotas, instead, the new plans are also differentiated by the connection speed being made available. Starting at speeds of 100Mbps, the plans offer 4G and 5G connectivity at a more affordable rate than before.
All New CelcomDigi PostPaid Plans
CelcomDigi’s new offerings come in five different tiers for mobile-only connectivity. The lowest tier, Postpaid 5G 80 which is priced at RM80, offers 90GB of data quota at the “Essential” 5G tier which offers a capped 100Mbps speed. The step-up, Postpaid 5G 100 is priced at RM100 and offers 150GB of data at an “Advance” connection speed capped at 300Mbps. Both of these plans allow users to hotspot from their phones within their respective data cap.
Above these two tiers, 4G and 5G connectivity is not capped by a data usage quota. Instead, the Postpaid 120, 140 and 160 are mainly limited by their data connection speeds and hotspot quota. The Postpaid 120 shares the same Advance 5G speeds as the Postpaid 5G 100 plan with a limit of 20GB for hotspot/tethering. The Postpaid 5G 140 and Postpaid 5G 160 offer higher speed connectivity at a “Premium” speed of 500Mbps. These plans have a limit of 100GB and 300GB for tethering and hotspot.
Together with these Postpaid plans, CelcomDigi is also introducing a converged plan which gives users mobile connectivity on 4G and 5G as well as Fibre internet. This plan, Postpaid 5G 260, comes bundled together with Fibre Internet at 300Mbps. It’s also the only unlimited plan being offered by CelcomDigi with its revamped plans. Both 5G speeds and data usage are unlimited on this package.
Supplementary Plans starting at RM30
In addition to these features, each of the new Postpaid offerings also supports up to 6 supplementary plans from RM30 a month. CelcomDigi is introducing tiers to its supplementary lines as well. The new supplementary plans are catered for family or gadgets. These two groups come with two tiers each.
The Family line is priced at RM40. This plan shares the same features as the Postpaid 5G 80 with 90GB of data and Essential connectivity speeds. On the other hand, the Family Plus is priced at RM50. The Plus plan shares the same features as the Postpaid 5G 120 with unlimited speed and Advance connectivity speeds. The Family Plus plan is only available with a principal line with a minimum of the Postpaid 5G 120.
The Gadget SIM plan comes with 30GB of data with Essential speeds at RM30 while the Gadget SIM Plus comes with 300GB of data at Advance speeds for RM50. Both the Plus plans are also able to take advantage of CelcomDigi’s Easy360 for device ownership.
Easier Device Ownership with Easy360 and Pakej MegaJimat
CelcomDigi also introduced two new ways for subscribers to own the latest devices and gadgets. The Easy360 plan is available to all Postpaid 5G subscribers including those on the Family Plus and Gadget SIM Plus. This plan allows subscribers to own flagship devices with no upfront payment. The device will be financed for up to 36 months for a monthly instalment with 0% interest.
Pakej MegaJimat allows users to own midrange and entry-level devices for free with the Postpaid 80 plan.
Additional Perks to Sign Up
For a limited time, CelcomDigi is offering an RM10 rebate on the price of its new offerings. In addition to this, pre-existing Celcom and Digi subscribers could also be eligible for a lifetime rebate of RM50 on their monthly bill with the new plans. You will need to check your “Box of Surprise” or “Just4Me” on your Digi and Celcom apps respectively.
CelcomDigi is offering an RM10 rebate for the first six months to those porting into the network. For a limited time, the company is also offering free fibre internet at 300Mbps for the first 6 months. Signing up for CelcomDigi’s Postpaid 5G 260 will get you an even larger rebate of RM30 for 24 months.

CelcomDigi Berhad (CelcomDigi) and Time dotCom (Time) have announced a strategic partnership aimed at broadening home fibre broadband choices across Malaysia. In this collaboration, CelcomDigi will utilize Time’s fibre broadband infrastructure to extend home fibre services to more Malaysians, with a particular focus on residents of condominiums and apartments.
This partnership promises numerous advantages for CelcomDigi subscribers, including high-speed broadband connections of up to 1Gbps. Time’s symmetric downlink and uplink speeds ensure high upload rates. Furthermore, the collaboration streamlines fibre installation, making it a faster and more cost-efficient process. These efforts align with Malaysia’s digital ambitions.
Albern Murty, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of CelcomDigi, expressed excitement about the partnership’s potential. He sees it as a crucial step to expand connectivity, providing Malaysians with consistent and seamless internet experiences at home and beyond. He also hinted at more initiatives arising from this collaboration that will further benefit Malaysians.
Datuk Zainal Amanshah, Executive Director of Time, highlighted their commitment to delivering high-speed internet to as many Malaysians as possible. They’ve made their gig-speed network accessible to internet service providers for some time and are pleased to support CelcomDigi in delivering fast and reliable internet connectivity.
This collaboration represents another step in Malaysia’s efforts to enhance internet accessibility and affordability. In the past, Digi, before its merger with Celcom, had entered into similar agreements with Time to expand its fibre footprint. Additionally, Digi expanded its reach by signing agreements with TM’s HSBB network and TNB’s Allo.
While CelcomDigi and its competitors, TM and Maxis, have begun revising their fibre pricing, this partnership signifies a significant move towards bridging the digital divide and improving internet accessibility for all Malaysians.
