KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 23): DiGi.Com Bhd's wholly-owned subsidiary Digi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd said it is upsizing its broadband quota offering by up to 50%.
In a statement today, Digi said the new set of offerings is applicable to both new and existing customers.
Digi said total quota upgrades have been increased from 15GB to 25GB for the Broadband Monthly 45 plan, from 35GB to 50GB for the Broadband Monthly 65 plan, and from 75GB to 100GB for the Broadband Monthly 105 plan.
In addition, Digi said all existing Digi Postpaid subscribers will enjoy RM5 or RM10 lifetime discounts when they sign up for Digi Home Broadband, potentially bringing home internet access to an affordable price of RM40 monthly.
Digi said the data quota upsizes for existing Digi Home Broadband customers will take effect at their next bill cycle while new customers will enjoy the larger data quotas upon sign-up.
The company said customers will enjoy a seamless experience on these plans with consistent internet speeds of at least 10Mbps for 4G LTE, and 20 Mbps for 4G LTE-A.
Digi's chief marketing officer Loh Keh Jiat said the company remains committed to boost internet adoption by introducing a wide range of affordable connectivity services for different wallet sizes and needs in the country.
"These home internet plans in essence offer customers 1GB of data for as low as RM1. We are continuously improving our service quality and reliability to support the growing surge in data demand. Last year, our network supported close to 150% growth in data traffic from more than half a million additional internet users in our base," he said.
"We will continue stimulating adoption with a strong mix of affordable connectivity, and relevant digital services and content, experienced over a high-quality network," he added.
Digi's move came after Putrajaya's push for more affordable broadband offerings in Malaysia without compromising network quality.
DiGi.Com's share price fell by three sen or 0.71% to close at RM4.22 today, giving the company a market capitalisation of RM32.81 billion.
Since Oct 1, the counter has declined by 12.6% from RM4.83.
