Hone and fibre revenue leapt 45.2% to RM61mil, driven by the uptake of CelcomDigi One plans as well as robust demand for high-speed, instant connectivity through fixed wireless access

Revenue from enterprise solutions was up 10.3% y-o-y from sustained demand for connectivity, ICT, and cybersecurity services. CelcomDigi said the performance was further reinforced by a steady stream of major enterprise contract wins.
