Malaysia — Living: Internet
Malaysia's national median fixed broadband speed is approximately 100-130 Mbps in early 2026 per Ookla data, reflecting strong urban fiber penetration. Unifi (TM), operated by Telekom Malaysia, has the largest coverage and most reliable service, though it is the priciest — plans start at RM89/month (with free WiFi 6 router, up to 3 months free) with the 300 Mbps tier (RM149/month) the sweet spot for most families, and fiber tiers up to 2 Gbps in major urban areas like the Klang Valley. TIME dotCom operates its own independent fiber network, offering genuinely symmetric upload/download plans and is considered the fastest ISP overall — its 1 Gbps plan (RM139/month) offers the best speed-per-ringgit. Maxis is the third major nationwide provider.
