Unifi Home 1Gbps Broadband with Netflix-New Application

Quick Verdict

The Unifi Home 1Gbps Broadband with Netflix package is aimed at customers who want more than a basic broadband-and-streaming bundle.

At RM293.90/month for 24 months, the package combines:

1. 1Gbps download speed
2. Up to 500Mbps upload
3. Netflix Standard
4. Wi-Fi 6 Optical Network Router
5. Wi-Fi 6 certified Mesh
6. 24-month contract

The total subscription cost over 24 months is:

RM293.90 × 24 = RM7,053.60

Unlike the 500Mbps Netflix package, where the main question is whether the Netflix bundle itself saves money, the 1Gbps package needs to be evaluated as a higher-end connectivity package with networking equipment included.

Unifi's official 1Gbps Netflix listing confirms the 24-month contract, up to 1Gbps download, up to 500Mbps upload, Netflix Standard and a certified Wi-Fi 6 Optical Network Router.

Cost Over the 24-Month Contract

There is no introductory RM79 or RM99 period to complicate the calculation.

You pay:

So the actual 24-month commitment is:

RM7,053.60

This is the number to use when comparing the package against other 1Gbps options.

What You Get for RM293.90

The value of this package comes from several components rather than Netflix alone.

Unifi's official 1Gbps Netflix product page lists the 1Gbps connection, up to 500Mbps upload, Netflix Standard and certified Wi-Fi 6 Optical Network Router.

The current Unifi broadband page also lists the 1Gbps Netflix Standard configuration at RM293.90/month.

The Netflix Component Is Different From the 500Mbps Package

This is an important distinction.

The 500Mbps Netflix product we reviewed earlier comes with Netflix Basic, while this 1Gbps product comes with Netflix Standard.

Netflix Standard gives you:

1. Full HD resolution
2. Up to 2 supported devices at the same time
3. Downloading on 2 supported devices

Unifi's official product listing confirms the Standard tier and its two-device / Full HD positioning.

That makes this package less about getting the cheapest possible Netflix subscription and more about combining a higher-tier Netflix plan with Unifi's 1Gbps service.

The Wi-Fi 6 Mesh Is a More Important Part of This Package

The biggest difference between this product and a simple 1Gbps broadband subscription is the networking equipment.

A 1Gbps fibre connection does not automatically mean every room in the house will receive close to 1Gbps over Wi-Fi.

Your actual wireless performance depends on the router, mesh placement, device capability, distance, walls and wireless interference.

That is why the included Wi-Fi 6 certified Mesh matters.

For a larger home or a home where the main router cannot provide consistent coverage to all rooms, a mesh system can be more useful than simply having a higher broadband speed.

The key point is that the mesh should be evaluated as part of the package value rather than assuming the 1Gbps line alone explains the RM293.90 monthly price.

1Gbps Does Not Mean Every Device Gets 1Gbps

The package provides a connection of up to 1Gbps, but your individual device may not achieve that speed.

The actual result can be limited by:

1. Wi-Fi generation
2. Device network hardware
3. Ethernet port capability
4. Router or mesh connection
5. Wi-Fi signal strength
6. Distance from the access point
7. Network congestion

Unifi specifies the service as up to 1Gbps download and up to 500Mbps upload.

For customers buying this package mainly because they want faster Wi-Fi throughout the house, the included mesh equipment may therefore be more important than the 1Gbps headline itself.

Is Netflix the Reason to Pay More?

Not necessarily.

If you already subscribe to Netflix Standard, having Netflix included in the Unifi bill is convenient.

But if you are choosing between broadband packages, do not evaluate the plan purely by asking:

“How much is Netflix worth?”

The more useful question is:

“What am I paying for the 1Gbps connection and Wi-Fi equipment after accounting for Netflix?”

That separates the entertainment component from the network infrastructure component.

This is particularly important because the package costs RM293.90 every month for 24 months, or RM7,053.60 in total.

Who Should Get the 1Gbps Netflix Bundle?

Consider it if you:

1. Specifically want a 1Gbps fibre connection.
2. Need higher upload capacity, with Unifi listing up to 500Mbps upload.
3. Already use or want Netflix Standard.
4. Have a larger home where additional Wi-Fi coverage is useful.
5. Want the Wi-Fi equipment bundled with the broadband subscription.
6. Are comfortable with a 24-month contract.

Think twice if you:

1. Mainly want Netflix and do not need 1Gbps broadband.
2. Already have a capable Wi-Fi 6/mesh system.
3. Live in a smaller home where additional mesh coverage provides little benefit.
4. Are unlikely to make meaningful use of a 1Gbps connection.
5. Prefer to keep Netflix separate from your broadband provider.

FAQ

How much is Unifi Home 1Gbps with Netflix?

The package is RM293.90/month on a 24-month contract. Unifi's current product page lists Netflix Standard together with the 1Gbps broadband service.

How much does it cost over 24 months?

RM293.90 × 24 = RM7,053.60

So the 24-month subscription cost is RM7,053.60.

Which Netflix plan is included?

The 1Gbps Netflix package includes Netflix Standard, not Netflix Basic. It supports Full HD and up to two supported devices at the same time.

What upload speed does the 1Gbps plan provide?

Unifi lists the 1Gbps package with download speeds of up to 1Gbps and upload speeds of up to 500Mbps.

What Wi-Fi equipment is included?

The package includes a Wi-Fi 6 Optical Network Router. The product configuration supplied for this offer also includes a Wi-Fi 6 certified Mesh, which is particularly relevant for improving coverage beyond the main router.

Does the mesh guarantee 1Gbps Wi-Fi in every room?

No.

The 1Gbps service is the fibre connection speed. Actual Wi-Fi performance depends on the client device, wireless conditions, mesh placement, distance and other network factors.

Is Netflix the main reason to choose this package?

Not necessarily.

The stronger reason to consider this package is the combination of 1Gbps fibre + higher upload capacity + Wi-Fi 6 networking equipment + Netflix Standard.

If you already have a good mesh system and do not need Netflix, the additional value of this specific bundle becomes less compelling.

Is the contract 24 months?

Yes. Unifi's official 1Gbps Netflix listing specifies a 24-month contract.

NetBijak’s Recommendation

The Unifi Home 1Gbps Broadband with Netflix at RM293.90/month should not be judged as simply another Netflix bundle.

Over 24 months, you are committing:

RM293.90 × 24 = RM7,053.60

What makes this package different is the combination of 1Gbps fibre, up to 500Mbps upload, Netflix Standard and Wi-Fi 6 networking equipment.

The Netflix component is useful, but it should not distract from the much larger cost of the 1Gbps broadband commitment.

If you already want 1Gbps, need stronger whole-home Wi-Fi coverage and would otherwise pay for Netflix Standard separately, the package is easier to justify.

If you mainly want Netflix or already own a good mesh system, the RM293.90 monthly commitment deserves more scrutiny.

The real question is therefore not “Is Netflix free with this plan?”

It is:

“Will I actually use the 1Gbps connection and the included Wi-Fi equipment enough to justify RM7,053.60 over 24 months?”
