Unifi Home 500Mbps Broadband with Netflix-New Application

Quick Verdict

The Unifi Home 500Mbps Broadband with Netflix package is a different proposition from Unifi's broadband-only plans: you are paying RM203.90/month for a 500Mbps broadband connection bundled with Netflix Basic on a 24-month contract.

The important question is not simply whether RM203.90 is cheap. It is whether bundling Netflix through Unifi gives you better value than paying for broadband and Netflix separately.

Over 24 months, the package costs:

RM203.90 × 24 = RM4,893.60

The included Netflix Basic plan is the key value component. If you already pay for Netflix, the bundle can make sense. If you do not use Netflix, there is little reason to pay extra for the bundle.

Cost & Entertainment ROI

Using the standalone 500Mbps broadband price of RM169/month as the comparison point, the effective cost of Netflix through this bundle is:

RM203.90 − RM169 = RM34.90/month

That gives the following comparison:

Based on these prices, the bundle is RM5/month more expensive than buying the broadband and Netflix Basic separately.

Over 24 months:

RM5 × 24 = RM120

So purely from a subscription-cost perspective, this is not a Netflix discount bundle.

That distinction matters. You are paying for convenience and a bundled subscription, but the Netflix component does not create a direct saving based on the above standalone prices.

What Does the RM203.90 Actually Cover?

The package combines:

1. Unifi Home Fibre 500Mbps
2. Netflix Basic
3. 24-month contract
4. RM203.90/month

The total contractual payment is:

RM203.90 × 24 = RM4,893.60

There is no introductory RM79 or RM99 period to complicate the calculation. The monthly price is straightforward, making the 24-month total easy to budget.

Netflix Basic: Know What You Are Actually Getting

The Netflix component is Basic, so this is not the tier for households that specifically want 4K Netflix.

Netflix Basic is designed around:

1. 720p resolution
2. 1 supported screen at a time

That means the bundle's entertainment value depends heavily on whether those limitations match your Netflix usage.

If you only watch Netflix occasionally on one TV or device, Basic may be enough.

If multiple people regularly watch Netflix at the same time, or you specifically want 4K/HDR, you should look at the upgrade cost rather than assuming the included Basic plan is sufficient.

Is Upgrading Netflix Still Worth It?

The important point is that upgrading Netflix changes the monthly bill, but it does not necessarily change the underlying broadband value.

If the Netflix upgrade is charged separately through the Unifi account, calculate it as:

RM203.90 + Netflix upgrade fee

For example, if your chosen upgrade costs an additional RM20/month:

RM203.90 + RM20 = RM223.90/month

Over 24 months:

RM223.90 × 24 = RM5,373.60

So the decision should be based on the Netflix tier you actually need rather than paying for a higher tier simply because the bundle includes Netflix.

Who Should Get the 500Mbps Netflix Bundle?

Consider it if you:

1. Are applying for a new Unifi 500Mbps connection.
2. Already pay for Netflix and prefer having the subscription included in the broadband bill.
3. Are comfortable with a 24-month contract.
4. Are satisfied with Netflix Basic's 720p / 1-screen limitation.
5. Prefer a single monthly bill for broadband and Netflix.

Think twice if you:

1. Do not use Netflix.
2. Want Netflix 4K/HDR.
3. Need Netflix on multiple screens simultaneously.
4. Can purchase the standalone broadband and Netflix Basic for less.
5. Prefer keeping your streaming subscription independent from your broadband provider.

FAQ

How much is the Unifi 500Mbps Netflix package?

The package is RM203.90/month on a 24-month contract.

How much will I pay over 24 months?

RM203.90 × 24 = RM4,893.60

So the total scheduled subscription cost is RM4,893.60 over 24 months, before any separately applicable charges or taxes not already included in the displayed price.

Which Netflix plan is included?

The package includes Netflix Basic.

Basic is limited to 720p resolution and one active screen at a time.

Is the Netflix bundle cheaper than buying Netflix separately?

Based on a RM169 standalone 500Mbps broadband price and RM29.90 Netflix Basic, the separate total would be RM198.90/month.

At RM203.90/month, the bundle is therefore RM5/month higher, or RM120 more over 24 months.

So the main benefit is convenience rather than a direct Netflix subscription discount.

Can I upgrade Netflix Basic?

Yes, the Netflix tier can be upgraded subject to the applicable upgrade charge. The extra cost should be added to the RM203.90 monthly package price when calculating the total.

Is this a Transfer package?

No. This is a New Application product. It is intended for customers taking up a new Unifi Home Fibre connection rather than the Transfer/Winback products designed for switching from another provider.

Is the contract 24 months?

Yes. This package is based on a 24-month commitment.

NetBijak’s Recommendation

The Unifi Home 500Mbps + Netflix Basic at RM203.90/month is not particularly compelling if your only reason for choosing it is to save money on Netflix.

At RM4,893.60 over 24 months, the package is easy to calculate. Based on the RM169 standalone 500Mbps price and RM29.90 Netflix Basic price, buying both separately comes to RM198.90/month.

That makes the bundle RM5/month more expensive, or RM120 more over 24 months.

So this is better viewed as a convenience bundle rather than a Netflix discount.

It becomes more reasonable if you already want 500Mbps Unifi and regularly use Netflix Basic, and you prefer having both services consolidated into one bill. If your priority is maximum entertainment value, check the Netflix tier carefully before committing—the included Basic plan is only 720p with one active screen.
