New P1 Promo Makes High Quota Broadband Plans Affordable

Petaling Jaya – Southeast Asia’s pioneer and Malaysia’s first 4G service provider, Packet One Networks (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (“P1”) delivers high quota broadband plans at affordable prices through its latest EXTRA QUOTA promotion.

This promotional offer is perfect for consumers who watch or stream TV content or movies via the Internet, which according to *statistics, will serve the need of 42% of Malaysia’s 17 million Internet users.

“The Internet is rich and colourful with sounds and scenes but you need to have enough quotas to enjoy everything it has to offer. However, quotas can be expensive. Our promo gives you the quota without the high price, I just hope everyone grabs this opportunity to enjoy the Internet freely,” said Shirley Ah Yong, Director of Brand & Marketing.

With this promotion, P1’s award-winning home broadband plan, ‘ForHomeTM’ will for a limited time, come with 50% more quota for its 12-and 24-month plans. Those who opt for 24-month plans will be rewarded further with up to 5GB more of monthly quota and on top of that, get free phone service and up to 300 minutes of monthly free calls to any fixed, mobile plus selected IDD numbers.

The same offer applies to P1’s ‘OnePlanTM’, a 2-in-1 value plan for those needing both home and on-the-go broadband. Consumers just need to add RM30 to their monthly bill for an on-the-go broadband that comes with free MiFi.

The MiFi is different from a conventional USB stick or dongle as the pocket-size MiFi device enables personal 4G WiFi and can provide connectivity for up to eight (8) WiFi-enabled devices on the go saving the user on Internet bills.

As for P1’s on-the-go broadband, the ToGoTM plan offers up to 5GB more quota monthly, and comes with free MiFi for its mid and high plans. P1’s quotas are ‘all-time’ quotas, meaning they can be utilised day and night without time cap limitations.

Shirley shared that P1 subscribers’ top three online activities are video streaming, social media networking and content downloading and average usage per user stands at a high of 17GB. Aside from the content itself, broadband sharing at home or on-the-go where two or more users or devices are connected simultaneously also places demand on usage quota.

MCMC: Minimum fee for Wireless Village Broadband

MCMC says the fee is very small - could just be RM5 to RM10/month.


Cyberjaya, Dec 7  -- A minimum fee will be charged for Wireless Village broadband by the end of next year or early 2014.

Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission, Industry Development and Resource Planning chief officer, Datuk Mohd Ali Hanafiah Mohd Yunus said the Commission was still deciding on a suitable rate to be charged, which may be between RM5 and RM10 per month.

"At present the service is free. So the charge will be very minimal and used for maintenance cost," he said at a press conference, here today.

The Wireless Village government initiative was started in 2010 to provide collective internet access to villages which had low coverage.

It costs RM40,000 to RM50,000 to set up such a service in each village with broadband tower construction estimated at RM400,000 to RM500,000.

He said between 2010 and 2011, 1,850 Wireless Villages had been set up nationwide, and 1,400 were in progress for this and next year.

Apart from this facility, MCMC also provided other initiatives to enhance the use of broadband in the country, such as Community Broadband Centres, Mini Community Broadband Centres, Tower (Time 3) and 1Malaysia Computers.

He added that MCMC constantly worked with the Telcos to provide affordable broadband packages as low as RM25 per month. - Bernama
