=== Fixed broadband development ===
In 2019, fixed broadband accounted for 6.79% of the total broadband market share, comprising 2.947 million subscriptions<ref>[https://www.mcmc.gov.my/skmmgovmy/media/General/pdf/4Q-2019-C-M-Infographic.pdf Broadband 4Q 2019] / Communications and Multimedia : Facts and Figures, 4Q 2019</ref> (up from 2.7 million<ref>[https://www.mcmc.gov.my/skmmgovmy/media/General/pdf/4Q18.pdf Broadband 4Q 2018] / Communications and Multimedia : Facts and Figures, 4Q 2018</ref> in 2018).

Fixed broadband services are delivered using technologies including [[ADSL|Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line]], [[Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line]] (SDSL), [[VDSL|Very-high bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line]], [[Fiber to the x|Fiber-to-the-Home]] (FTTH), [[Satellite Internet access|Satellite]], [[Wireless local loop|Fixed Wireless Access]] (FWA), and [[Evolution-Data Optimized]] (EVDO).

The High-Speed Broadband project (HSBB), introduced in 2008, aimed to improve the quality of broadband access and enable users in major cities and high-impact economic areas to achieve speeds up to 100 Megabits per second. The Suburban Broadband (SUBB) and Rural Broadband (RBB) initiatives provide speeds up to 20 Megabits per second for users in suburban and rural areas.

On August 28, 2019, the Government approved the implementation of the National Fiberisation and Connectivity Plan (NFCP) for the period 2019 to 2023.

The NFCP targets included:
* Achieving an entry-level fixed broadband package at 1% of GNI by 2020.
* Ensuring Gigabit availability in selected industrial areas by 2020 and all State Capitals by 2023.
* Providing 100% availability for premises in State Capitals and high-impact areas with speeds of at least 500&nbsp;Mbit/s by 2021.
* Reaching 20% of sub-urban and rural premises with up to 500 Mbit/s by 2022.
* Fiber network pass-through to 70% of schools, hospitals, libraries, police stations, and post offices by 2022.
* Attaining an average speed of 30 Mbit/s in 98% of populated areas by 2023.
* Improving mobile coverage along the Pan Borneo highway upon completion.
