Maxis has extended its agreement with TM to access TM’s High-Speed Broadband (HSBB) premium services until 2029.
The telco says in a statement that with the extension, Maxis will continue accessing TM’s national fibre network to provide customers with competitive fixed broadband offerings and value-added services.
Maxis also said that the partnership will help them expand the reach of its high-speed internet connectivity to even more premises nationwide, complementing its own-built fibre network.
They currently provide fibre connectivity to more than 700,000 homes and businesses.
In addition to standard HSBB access, Maxis says that the premium services include additional requirements that will help it 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, they said that they can fully leverage the opportunities and broadband capabilities provided by TM, unlocking greater value for its customers.
We are 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 are able to place greater focus on customer experience. This is in line with our integrated telco strategy of fulfilling all our customers’ connectivity needs.

Meanwhile, TM Amar Group Chief Executive Officer Huzaimi Md Deris said that 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 that TM stands as Maxis’ biggest HSBB services partner.
The collaboration can be traced 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.
It’s a win-win for both
Earlier this year, TM took a strategic step forward by securing access to Maxis’ 4G Multi Operator Core Network (MOCN) and 4G and 2G Domestic Roaming Services to enhance its mobile connectivity nationwide.
This strategic alliance taps into the combined strengths of TM and Maxis, leveraging each other’s network capabilities to enhance connectivity services reach and efficiency.
Maxis says that 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.
