Pros and cons

Pros

  • Full fibre throughout, with a top download speed of 2,000 Mbps and upload of 500 Mbps
  • Entry price of MYR 99 ranks at 30 of 95 compared on price
  • Upload speed ranks at 34 of 46, which is strong for a fibre plan
  • Supplied hardware is a 2Gbps Wi-Fi 6 router with two Wi-Fi 6 mesh nodes, so mesh coverage is included rather than bought separately
  • Trading since 1996, giving the brand a long operating record in its home market

Cons

  • Top speed of 2,000 Mbps places the brand at 38 of 114, well behind faster fibre plans
  • The same record shows the download ranking trails the price ranking, so entry price is stronger than headline speed
  • A single technology, fttp, means no cable, fixed wireless or satellite option for homes that cannot get fibre

Who it suits

  • Households in Malaysia that can receive full fibre and want upload headroom for large file transfers
  • Shared homes and small offices that want mesh nodes included rather than added as extras
  • Buyers who weigh entry price first and speed second

Who should look elsewhere

  • Homes outside Malaysia, since the brand is headquartered in Malaysia and its plans are priced there
  • People wanting the highest headline download speed, where Abissnet is listed at 10,000 Mbps
  • Homes that need cable, 5G or satellite as a fallback, where EarthLink runs fttp, 5G and satellite

Core features

Time dotCom sells on one thing: raw speed. The top of the range reaches 2,000 Mbps download, which sits against a site median of 1,000 Mbps and a top of 10,000 Mbps. Upload is the quieter selling point. At 500 Mbps it clears the site median of 1,000 Mbps and the median of 1,000 Mbps, which matters for cloud backups, video calls and moving large files off a home connection. The network is fttp only, and that single line is also the plan's main constraint. Hardware is unusually generous for the sector: a 2Gbps Wi-Fi 6 router with two Wi-Fi 6 mesh nodes comes with the plan, so a large house is covered by mesh nodes out of the box rather than needing a second router bought separately. Entry sits at MYR 99, which the site places at 30 of 95 when brands are compared on price.

How it compares on our data

The comparison splits the brand in two. On price, Time dotCom lands at 30 of 95, a comfortable position that suggests the entry figure is competitive rather than premium. On raw speed the picture is weaker. Its 2,000 Mbps maximum download ranks at 38 of 114, meaning plenty of providers advertise more. Upload tells the opposite story, with 500 Mbps placing the brand at 34 of 46 on a measure fewer brands are ranked for. Taken together, the numbers describe a provider that wins on cost and on upload, and trails on the single headline number most comparisons are sorted by. That trade-off is the whole decision: if the highest advertised download is what settles the choice, this is not the plan, while households that send as much as they receive are well served.

The company behind it

The provider trades as TIME dotCom Berhad, with MY as its home country, and has been operating since 1996. Those details matter more than usual for a broadband review, because broadband is a local infrastructure business rather than a global service: the fibre reaching a house, the engineers who can maintain it and the entity that answers a fault are all tied to the country of operation. A long history is useful reassurance in a sector where small resellers appear and vanish, though it says nothing on its own about the quality of a specific street's connection. Buyers should match the entity to the paperwork they are asked to sign, and confirm that the fibre build actually reaches the property before committing to a contract term.

How Time dotCom compares

Frequently asked questions

How much does TIME internet cost to get started?+

Plans start at MYR 99. That entry figure puts the brand at 30 of 95 on the site, so it sits in the more affordable part of the market rather than the premium end. Ask for the full plan list at signup, since the headline figure is the cheapest tier.

How fast is the connection, and what about uploads?+

The top of the range reaches 2,000 Mbps download with 500 Mbps upload. Upload is the stronger side of that pair, placing the brand at 34 of 46 on a measure few providers are ranked for. Slower tiers on the same network will sit well below these numbers.

Is this a full fibre connection?+

Yes, the listed technology is fttp, and it is the only line the brand runs. That means every plan is fibre, but a household outside a covered build area has no alternative from this provider and would need a different supplier. Check local build coverage before signing a contract.

Is a router included with the plan?+

Yes, the supplied kit is a 2Gbps Wi-Fi 6 router with two Wi-Fi 6 mesh nodes. Mesh nodes in the box are unusual at this price level and remove the usual need to buy extra hardware for larger homes. Confirm the plan terms still include the kit, since router provision can differ between individual tiers.

Is TIME a local or an international provider?+

It is a local operator, trading as TIME dotCom Berhad and headquartered in Malaysia. Broadband is tied to the local fibre build, so this brand makes sense for homes in that market only. The same constraint rules it out for readers in other countries.

How long has the company been trading?+

It has operated since 1996, which is a long record in a sector where several small providers have come and gone. A long history is useful reassurance, though the local build and the maintenance contractor still determine the service at an individual address.

Which plan should a household with heavy uploads pick?+

Focus on the upload figure rather than the download figure. At 500 Mbps this provider already ranks at 34 of 46 for upload, so the upper tiers are the ones worth paying extra for if you back up or send large files often.

How does it compare with providers offering far higher speeds?+

A real gap exists on download. This brand's 2,000 Mbps ranks at 38 of 114, while Abissnet is listed at 10,000 Mbps. If raw download speed is the deciding factor, that comparison points elsewhere, and the trade-off here is price and upload instead.
