Astro Fibre

Astro IPTV is an Internet Protocol Television service by the Malaysian satellite television provider Astro. Launched on 20 April 2011 as Astro B.yond IPTV, its subscribers were entitled to high definition Astro channels, personal video recording, video-on-demand, high-speed internet, and voice services. Astro's initial target audience were residences of high-rise buildings who previously had difficulty accessing HDTV services.^[1] This was made possible by partnering with Maxis Berhad in April 2013. Astro B.yond IPTV was rebranded to Astro IPTV in February 2014. In 2019, Astro IPTV was rebranded again to Astro & Broadband, and in 2022, Astro & Broadband changed its name to Astro Fiber.
