So, 1Gbps broadband internet has finally landed in Malaysia and Cyberjaya will be the first to call it home. The Superfast, Competitive broadband is offered not only to businesses, but also homes throughout the city. This was among one of the 11 initiatives announced by Dato’ Sri Najib Tun Razak during Cyberjaya’s 20th celebration on 21st May at the Cyberjaya City Centre site.

The provision of this superfast connectivity was our effort in answering to the Prime Minister’s call to double the speed of internet at a fraction of the cost. This initiative signifies yet another momentous occasion for Cyberjaya as a model smart city and aspiring global tech hub. With Cyberjaya also being the nation’s animation hub, we hope that the accessibility to this superfast internet can encourage our talents to produce even more great work in animation, tech, gaming and more.
