Streaming services are growing in popularity as more content becomes readily available for users to access without having to purchase each title individually. The problem with streaming content on mobile/data plans is that they take up a lot of your quota, leaving mobile users hesitant to expend valuable quota to watch videos or stream movies.
Well, Digi plans to solve that with what they call “bite-sized video passes” that let customers enjoy streaming content without worrying about using up their internet quota. Meet Digi Video Freedom.
Much like Digi’s Music Freedom pass, Digi Video Freedom allows users to purchase value-add passes to stream content without having to tap into their existing quota. Digi is offering two passes for Digi Video Freedom — an hourly pass that costs RM1/hour and a daily pass that costs RM5/day (24 hours).
Both of these passes lets you freely stream content from popular host sites like YouTube, iflix, Astro on the Go, Viu, tonton, Dailymotion and HyppTV. Of course, these passes are subjected to a fair use policy which limits the hourly pass to a quota of 3GB/hour and the daily pass to 10GB/day. If your quota ends up running out, you can always re-purchase the pass to refresh your quota.
These video passes cover quite an extensive number of video streaming platforms and content which should delight users, however, there are several big streaming sites that have not been included. Twitch, for example, has been left out in this initial launch, but at least you get access to YouTube Gaming.
The good news is, much like the Digi Music Freedom pass, the telco will continue to update and expand its roster of supported platforms in the future. Digi subscribers who are interested in these video passes can purchase them via the MyDigi app (Android and iOS) starting 15 April 2016.
