Astro and Broadband (Allo) package review – As low as RM99

Astro and broadband package just got cheaper. The well-known Astro and Broadband package is a collaboration that Astro has with Maxis Home Fibre. On the other hand, in this post, we’ll look into another collaboration which is Astro and Broadband (Allo) package, which is the cheaper package but with a limited option.

Earlier this year Astro teamed up with Allo to offer cost-efficient high-speed broadband services of 50Mbps and 100Mbps, at a special price of RM 99, and RM 129 respectively. In case you didn’t know, Allo is a subsidiary company of Tenaga Nasional Berhad which offers City Broadband.

All customers will also have free access to Astro GO which allows them to stream videos at their convenience. Customers are encouraged to connect their set top box to unlock more than 15, 000 On Demand titles as part of their pack entitlement.
