KUALA LUMPUR, May 5, 2022 Astro has launched its standalone fibre broadband, Astro Fibre, transitioning the Group into a full Internet Service Provider (ISP). This transformative move builds on the launch of WiFi KENCANG, Astros first-ever Fibre broadband bundled with its content and Mesh WiFi, creating a one-stop home entertainment and internet solution for its customers. Now, Astro is taking things up a notch by enabling all Malaysians including non-customers to enjoy the best digital experience and fibre broadband value proposition via Astro Fibres new standalone service.

Euan Smith, Astros CEO of TV and Group COO said, The all-new Astro experience is about giving customers what theyve been asking for all their favourite entertainment including premium Astro Originals, live sports, international content and multiple streaming services all in one place on the big screen, and personal devices too if they wish. Weve already extended the principle to include Broadband services and seen it resonate - our broadband customer base grew 58% year-on-year as more customers see the value and convenience of bundled broadband with Astro contents.

With Astro Fibres standalone service, our product portfolio is now even more robust to serve our customers with a variety of different needs, be it bundled with content or just pure internet. Leveraging on the strength of TMs wide HSBB network, Astro will be able to roll out services faster to wider Malaysia populations. With our new, strong infrastructure, technology, and expertise, we are now well-positioned to support Malaysias Jalinan Digital Negara (JENDELA) plan to provide wider coverage and better quality of broadband experience for Malaysians, able to play a more proactive role in narrowing the nations digital divide. Our priority is to reshape the fibre broadband experience through affordable and reliable internet throughout the home, so everyone in the household can experience stable and fast internet.

With multiple devices connected in a single household, sometimes regular routers lack the ability to cover a wide range, causing dead spots within a home. Staying ahead of the curve, Astro Fibre comes equipped with a built-in mesh agent as needed to deliver greater reliability and faster internet throughout ones home. Ensuring affordability to suit customers varying needs, customers will have the option to add on Mesh WiFi subscriptions from as low as RM10 per month.

Additionally, customers need not worry about common problems such as weak and limited coverage, internet dead spots and inconsistent speed, as Astros installation experts will conduct a thorough WiFi heatmap-based assessment of each home upon installation.
