TIME has done it again! This time, TIME reveals their latest and greatest internet packages with the fastest speed you can ask for in Malaysia! With the advancing technology in our community these days, it comes to no surprise that fastest speed at affordable price points are key unique selling points across all channels and platforms!

Even for me who is always connected 24/7 whether on mobile or at home, my internet and WiFi router is always turned on! Even my TV is connected to the internet for movie streaming. It's just the way of the digital era we live in today. Whether you like it or not, the internet keeps us seamlessly connected to our family, friends and loved ones no matter the time, place or distance.

TIME has recently announced their new launch of the "TIME 100% Fibre Optic Network" with speeds up to 1Gbps! All these while we have been so used to the Mbps that now with Gbps, you will be amazed!

That's not all, you can totally forget about how internet used to connect via those copper wires back then. Fibre Optic is much better because it is hidden deep underground and away from lightning strikes and thunder. It's also very stable and fast! Meaning when it rains, you can continue to stay connected 24/7!

Why is speed important? Because TIME is of the essence! From the moment you click that search button until you have found the information you require online or even from the moment you start streaming your favourite show on iFlix or Netflix, you require a stable and quick internet connectivity that will keep you seamlessly connected with no interruptions (nobody likes a laggy internet connection).

I still remember the days when we had the dial-up connection and the sound of the dial just to connect to the internet, it can be frustrating sometimes and unstable. But now with almost the same amount of rate, you can get the fastest speed available! They have choices for you to choose from their package, to see which will suit your digital lifestyle best.

To be honest, I am currently on a plan of RM180 at 50Mbps Download/30Mbps Upload speed connectivity. Although it is good enough for me now, but I know it's TIME even I should start looking for the best, because TIME is offering RM99 ONLY per month for 100Mbps speed!!!! That's double the speed I am using and double the savings I can save monthly!

Audra x 11street, Your Digital Wellness & Balanced Lifestyle

Wellness

Sebrinah Yeo October 11, 2018 1

11street (www.11street.my) as one of the leading online marketplaces in Malaysia, collaborates with Audra, a digital wellness application that is a combination of a gateway and cloud-based device kinda like a server on its own that is designed to protect your family, businesses and institutions from malicious internet attack that may steal your personal info online.

How does Audra works?

It's basically a security eco-system to ensure users are protected first and foremost.

I like how it is about to empower you to take control of your digital life online and even offline! Because the internet is always alive whether you are online/offline. And being in the digital era, it is crucial to be safe in our activities online but sometimes we may tend to fall into malicious threats that may be a nuisance to handle.

With that being said, 11street launches its collaboration with Audra, to bring their product offerings onto 11street platform for end users to get their hands on and own it!

Audra comes in 2 types of variant as per below :

Its benefits are really what everyone should be looking into, especially parents!

Why parents in specific?
Because I'm sure many of you can relate to your kids needing a smartphone right in their face to make them sit still and not move but that will cause nothing but harm unfortunately. And it is not "to each their own" kind of remark I should be making because that will be selfish of me. I have seen many kids amongst my circle of friends and extended family members, some even toddlers between 3 years to 5 years who are suffering from blur vision, cataract and some had to wear glasses before they start school! If that isn't the worst, majority were actually labelled as anti-social, a victim to bullying or a bully themselves and had difficulties communicating with people and making friends. Some even behave badly! So NO, this is not a normal thing and it is never "to each their own". It should be corrected there and then before it's too late.

It sounds better to say "do something now, better late than never".

Looking at this result from Audra website really worries me. However, I am thankful me and my husband were both from the mobile industry for many years, hence, we're always on our smartphones but we know the damage it can do. Therefore my kids has never and will never get any smartphones or tablets until they are old enough to buy on their own. Even TV time I am now limiting them to an hour a day and this Audra for home came on time! (My HyppTV & Minix relies on the internet to see TV, so no internet = no TV = more productivity through play)

“We believe that amidst the digital revolution, it is important to maintain human connections and find a balance between the tech and non-tech aspects of our lives. Adding a product like Audra to 11street is a major step towards creating a safe, secure and healthy online environment for Malaysians, which is a crucial need for both families and businesses. On top of that, Audra is so easy to use that anyone can operate it!” - said Henry Ho, GM of Business Development & Partnership of 11street.

I trust that I will be able to set the screen time for my home with the Audra device and that will give me a good stable WiFi connectivity along with the much required parental control for the better of my kids!

So if you have been giving too much screen time to your child, it's time to do something about it before it's too late. We should be proud, as Malaysia is listed as the very first in Southeast Asia to be able to own these technology in our home and/or offices for the following price :
