Starting Thursday, November 14, 10 AM, Netflix will increase the prices for Netflix subscriptions across all plans (Basic, Standard, and Premium) in Malaysia. For Astro subscription packs that are bundled with Netflix, the price change will only take effect on 1 March 2025.

If you subscribe to Netflix through Astro, please note the following changes:

1. New Netflix add-on sign-ups: The new prices will take effect immediately.
2. Existing Netflix add-on customers who subscribed before November 14, 2024: The price change will take effect for billing cycles starting on or after November 21, 2024.
3. Astro subscription packs that are bundled with Netflix: The price change will only take effect on March 1, 2025.

Absolutely not. Astro wants to give our members the convenience of having all their favourite series, exciting originals, vernacular signatures, live sports and local blockbuster movies all in one place.

Payment for Astro services will not increase. However, the Service Tax applicable will be increased from 6% to 8% and this will result in an increase in the total amount payable.

The main features and changes in this update are the revamped look and feel of Astro's user interface on the Astro Ultra/Ulti Boxes and Astro GO, which include redesigns to the Astro interface that consists of title rows at the Home Page to feature popular franchises, new live programmes posters and changes to the menu bar for easier navigation; auto-start Interactive Mode on Astro GO; as well as a Picture-in-Picture mode that shrinks your video player so you can keep watching your favourite shows while using other apps.

The details of each feature are:

• New Astro user interface
• Picture-in-picture mode
• Auto-start Interactive Mode on Astro GO

For more info, please read our dedicated FAQ on this here.

No, price for Astro customers will remain unchanged. Only the RRP price from iQIYI is changed.

Currently, e‑Invoicing is not mandatory for all customers. However, it is mandatory for customers who subscribe to Astro Fibre or Broadband services, as this follows the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia’s (IRBM) national e‑Invoicing requirement.

For other Astro services, e‑Invoicing is optional, but customers are encouraged to opt in as it supports quicker processing, smoother transactions and a more seamless billing and tax compliance experience over time.

The Multi-user Profile feature allows customers to create individual profiles within their Astro Box and Astro GO with the following personalisation:

• Personalised Recommendations
• Continue Watching
• Watch List
• Last Viewed Channel
• Favourite & Blocked Channels

The MUP feature is a great way to allow individual users to tailor personal Astro experiences whilst using a shared device (e.g.: Astro Box) in the household, providing them with better personalised recommendations and encouraging better content discovery.

beIN SPORTS CONNECT is the ultimate live streaming sports service that provides you with access to global sporting events both LIVE and on-demand such as major European football leagues and over 3,000 hours of live tennis via Astro's Ultra Box, Ulti Box, mobile app or web.

Slow browsing using LAN cable

Looks like there is something wrong with your service connection.

Please run the Speed Test and attach the picture or screenshot of the speed test in the Feedback Form below, in order for us to provide further assistances.

Slow browsing using Wi-Fi

1. Router Positioning

Most people underestimate the importance of picking a good spot for a Wi-Fi router. Even a small shift in positioning could end up being the difference between day and night.

i) High vs. Low

Put the router as high up as possible to extend the broadcasting range of the radio waves. This also helps clear the router of possible interferences.

ii) Concrete & Metals

Make sure your router isn't blocked by any other objects, especially devices that are electronic. Also, avoid placing your router in your basement as this area is usually enclosed by a lot of concrete, which can be almost impossible for Wi-Fi signals to penetrate.

iii) Distance to Router

The further away from your router you get, the weaker the Wi-Fi signal. Therefore, the best option is to place your router as close to your devices as possible, but this is only practical if you have one main area where you tend to use your devices.

Otherwise, you should place your router near the center of your home. After all, Wi-Fi broadcasts in 360 degrees, so it doesn't make sense to put it at one end of the house.

2. Wireless Interference & Noise

You've probably never noticed but there are wireless signals all around you wherever you go and they're passing through you all the time. From where? Electronic devices, Wi-Fi routers, satellites, cell towers, and more.

Although Wi-Fi is supposed to be on a different frequency than most of these devices, the amount of radio noise can still cause interference. Some common causes of interference include:

i) Microwaves

ii) Bluetooth Devices

iii) Cordless Phone

3. Surrounding Wi-Fi signals

A truth of the modern world is that every household has their own Wi-Fi network, which can cause issues with channel overlap. This can be somewhat problematic in a townhouse, but is especially problematic in housing complexes and apartments where there can be many routers within close proximity.

Which is why it's important that you pick a good channel in your router settings. Modern routers can choose channels for you automatically, but sometimes it's better to investigate and find the best channel yourself.

4. Usage

More likely, however, is that the people on your network such as friends, roommates, or family members are participating in bandwidth-heavy activities like gaming and streaming Ultrabox/ Netflix.

Fortunately, if this is the case, you can prioritize your own network traffic by enabling Quality of Service in your router settings.

If the problem persists, please run a Ping Test, Traceroute Test and attach the picture or screenshot of both test results in the Feedback Form below, in order for us to provide further assistances.

Please make sure to attach the required screenshot(s) in ONE file (i.e. Microsoft Word document, PDF, Image file) before submitting the form.
