Internet for WFH in Malaysia — ISP comparison and home setup guidE
by Ridhwan Yusoff·May 23, 2026
After three incidents where bad internet cost me important calls, I took this seriously. Sharing what I found.
ISPs for home WFH (based on KL/PJ/Selangor experience):
- Unifi (TM): most widely available, generally reliable, RM99–199/month plans offer 100–500Mbps
- Maxis Home Fibre: competitive speeds, good for areas where Unifi coverage is weak
- TIME Internet: widely regarded as most consistent in areas where it's available (mainly condos)
- Celcom/Maxis wireless broadband: last resort — speeds and consistency don't match fibre
Setup tips:
- Place your router in the same room you work, not across the apartment
- Use a wired ethernet connection for calls if possible — even a short run from router to laptop via USB-C adapter
- Get a 4G backup SIM for important calls on days when your main connection is unstable
TIME is genuinely considered best-in-class by most people I know who have it.
