Local internet service provider Time had first teased its own fibre to the room (FTTR) solution called Gig Speed Home back in August. Since then, CelcomDigi had already launched the first FTTR solution in Malaysia, but that hasn’t stopped Time from continuing with its promise of making Gig Speed Home available by the end of the year.
Time has now finally revealed its pricing for their Gig Speed Home packages. On their website, it has listed down three different Gig Speed Home packages, with the base tier offering a main parent node and a child node for up to 1,000sq ft homes with two rooms with installation and the units priced at RM1,320 during its early bird promo with a regular retail price of RM2,640.
For three room houses up to 1,500sq ft, you can get an additional child node priced at RM1,800 for the package (RRP RM3,600) while the most expensive package with three child nodes for up to 2,000sq ft houses with four rooms will cost you RM2,160 during the early bird promotion (RRP RM4,320). It’s also worth mentioning that this is just for the Gig Speed Home packages themselves, and that you’ll still need to have a Time internet plan to use it. Time has also not revealed how long the early bird promotion will last till.
If you’re a Malaysian user of Time for over 6 months with no outstanding payment though, you can also opt for a 24-month easy payment plan to spread the load a bit. Here’s how much the three plans cost when opting for their 24-month payment plans during the early bird promo:
- Gig Speed Home, 1 parent node + 1 child node – RM55/month
- Gig Speed Home, 1 parent node + 2 child nodes – RM75/month
- Gig Speed Home, 1 parent node + 3 child nodes – RM90/month
However, if you’re on Time’s website for yourself, you’ll probably notice that it still says ‘Preregister Now’ rather than being available right now. Instead, Time says that they will be having a roadshow at IPC Damansara from 19 October till 22 October where they will presumably be making the Gig Speed Home solution officially available. If you’re around IPC Damansara, you can also stand a chance to win a full FTTR installation, IKEA vouchers and also a full year’s worth of free internet from Time.
To take part, you’ll first have to spend a minimum of RM500 across up to 3 receipts within the same day from any outlet in either IPC Damansara or IKEA Damansara. Then, you can head over to the Time Gig Speed Home roadshow over at the Concourse level in IPC Damansara to submit your entry for a chance at winning the aforementioned prizes.
