Maxis extends deal to access access TM's high-speed broadband premium services until 2029

• Partnership expands Maxis' high-speed internet reach to more premises
• Maxis provides fibre connectivity to more than 700k homes and businesses

Maxis has extended its agreement with TM to access its high-speed broadband (HSBB) premium services until 2029. 

A joint statement by both parties said that with the extension, Maxis will continue to access TM’s national fibre network to offer customers competitive fixed broadband offerings and value-added services.

The partnership will enable Maxis to expand the reach of its high-speed internet connectivity to even more premises nationwide, complementing its own-build fibre network, they added. Currently, Maxis provides fibre connectivity to more than 700,000 homes and businesses. In addition to standard HSBB access, the premium services include additional requirements that will help the company better serve its customers and improve efficiency, including one-stop connectivity and digital solutions offerings for enterprise customers.

As a longstanding and premium TM HSBB partner, Maxis will be able to fully leverage the opportunities and broadband capabilities provided by TM, unlocking greater value for its customers.

Goh Seow Eng (pic), CEO of Maxis emphasised that Maxis is pleased to extend and deepen our partnership with TM to further drive broadband adoption for the nation. “The partnership in conjunction with our own extensive fibre network and core mobile business allows us to deploy our resources more efficiently and effectively so we can place greater focus on customer experience. This aligns with our integrated telco strategy of fulfilling all our customers’ connectivity needs," he added. 

Amar Huzaimi Md Deris (pic), group CEO of TM said TM is the ideal partner to catalyse access seeker's broadband aspirations whilst at the same time advancing Malaysia’s digital ambitions. 

“Through our domestic fibre infrastructure, we are paving the way for a digital era that embraces sustainability, accelerated economic growth and community upliftment. TM is the backbone of the nation’s core connectivity with its pervasive domestic fibre coverage complemented by its vast international submarine cables connectivity that connects the world to Malaysia,” he added. 

“TM stands as Maxis’ biggest HSBB services partner. The collaboration traces back to 2010 when Maxis became the first telco provider to sign a HSBB access agreement with TM and the partnership has been on-going, culminating in this most recent extension,” Amar said.

Earlier this year, TM took a strategic step forward by securing access to Maxis’ 4G multi operator core network and 4G and 2G domestic roaming services to enhance its mobile connectivity nationwide.

The two sides stress that their strategic alliance leverages each other's network capabilities to enhance connectivity services reach and efficiency. By pooling resources and expertise, both providers not only elevate the quality of their services but also contribute significantly to the broader goal of advancing Malaysia's digital landscape.
