The firm said profits had been bolstered by higher revenue, tighter cost management and favorable foreign exchange rates.

TM reported a 15.4% improvement in data revenue to 1.75 billion ringgit, due to higher demand for data in the country.

Internet revenue for the year had increased 5.9% to 1.65 billion ringgitt. The firm reported net additions of 249,000 for its internet services last year, up from 151,000 in 2009.

TM’s high-speed triple-play broadband service, dubbed UniFi, signed up 33,000 customers last year since its launch in March 2010.

The company’s group CEO, Dato’ Sri Zamzamzairani Mohd Isa said in a press statement that the company was ‘very much on track’ with its high-speed broadband rollout.

“Due attention will be given to ensure the rollout of UniFi is effectively managed from the aspects of cost effectiveness and customer satisfaction,” said Dato’ Sri Zam.
