Eligible TIME Internet Plans Get Free Speed Boost Until 31 October 2026

If you have a TIME Internet subscription, your WiFi speed may soon see a temporary boost. The telecommunications company has announced a free speed enhancement for specific eligible plans, valid until the end of October 2026. This gesture is meant to assist customers during the haze, as they increasingly work from home, study, or stream content indoors.

According to a post on the service provider’s Facebook page, the promotion applies to the 200Mbps and 600Mbps plans, elevating the former to 300Mbps and the latter to 800Mbps. Users simply need to reboot their router to enjoy the upgraded speeds; no extra steps are necessary. Both current and prospective customers can benefit from the boost, as it is open to new subscriptions as well.

Once the promotion concludes on October 31st, the plan's speed will revert to its original rate. It is important to note that actual speeds may differ based on factors such as the user's device, equipment, network conditions, and usage environment. The company suggests running a network diagnosis through its Self Care app if users face slow speeds or should persist in experiencing issues.

While the upgrade aims to provide a smoother online experience amid the haze, those seeking to maintain the faster speed will need to upgrade their plan, as the boost is temporary. The company currently offers 1Gbps and 2Gbps options alongside the original 200Mbps and 600Mbps plans.
