If you've ever stood at the prepaid plan screen thinking, "Why are there so many options and why do they all sound like superhero moves?", CelcomDigi just added two new families of passes that try to make the choice simpler.

They're called Hyper passes and Power passes. The idea is pretty straightforward once you translate the marketing names into real-life usage:

That one difference changes who each pass is best for, so let's break it down properly.

The Big Choice: Do You Want "Unlimited Speed" or "Unlimited Data"?

Here's the practical way to think about it.

Choose Hyper if you care about speed consistency

Hyper passes behave like the "normal" mobile data plan most people are used to: you receive a data bucket (50GB, 100GB, etc.). As long as you still have data left, you're not being told to slow down.

This is usually nicer for:

Choose Power if you never want to worry about running out

Power passes aim to remove the stress of counting GB. The trade-off is that CelcomDigi sets a speed ceiling depending on which pass you choose. And on some passes, once you've used a certain amount of data, the Fair Use Policy (FUP) steps in and slows you down further.

This is usually nicer for:

Hyper Passes: Two Options, Simple Setup

CelcomDigi's new Hyper lineup comes in two passes, both valid for 30 days, both including unlimited calls, and both allowing the data to be used for hotspot as well.

Prepaid 5G Hyper 30 (RM30 / 30 days)

What you get:

Prepaid 5G Hyper 35 (RM35 / 30 days) 

What you get:

In plain terms: if you're the type who wants speed without thinking too much about caps, Hyper is the "cleaner" option. You just pick how much data you realistically need.

Power Passes: Unlimited Data, But Speed Depends on What You Pay

Power passes are where things get more "telco math," because there are multiple tiers. All of them run for 30 days and all are built around unlimited data, but each one has a different speed limit (and some include streaming perks).

There are four passes:

The number in the name matches the price in Ringgit. 

Power 35: Unlimited Data With a Lower Speed Ceiling 

Prepaid 5G Power 35 (RM35 / 30 days)

This is the "I want unlimited, but I'm okay with moderate speed" plan.

18Mbps can still handle everyday stuff decently, but if you're sharing hotspot with multiple devices, or streaming high quality video constantly, you'll feel the limit more. And once you hit 100GB, 512Kbps is a very different experience (think basic browsing and messaging, not "life is smooth").

Power 45: Faster Cap, Higher FUP Threshold 

Prepaid 5G Power 45 (RM45 / 30 days)

This is the "balanced" step up. 48Mbps is more comfortable for streaming and hotspot usage, and the 200GB threshold gives heavier users more breathing room before the slowdown kicks in. 

Power Plus 55: Higher Speed + Viu Premium Access 

Power Plus 55 (RM55 / 30 days)

This is clearly aimed at people who stream a lot and want both speed and an included entertainment bundle. 100Mbps is already in the "this feels fast" category for mobile use, especially for video streaming and multi-device hotspot situations. 

Power Plus 65: The "Unlimited Data and Unlimited Speed" Option (With Prime Video) 

Power Plus 65 (RM65 / 30 days)

This is the standout because it's the one pass that removes the usual "unlimited data but limited speed" compromise. If you're the kind of user who hates speed caps and also hates data caps, this is the one CelcomDigi is positioning as the top-tier option.

Quick Reality Check: What Do Speed Caps Actually Feel Like?

Speed caps sound technical, but they translate into very normal daily experiences:

And then there's the FUP slowdown concept: it's not "you're blocked," it's "you're slowed down after heavy usage." That's why the FUP threshold matters as much as the headline "unlimited" wording.

So Which Pass Should You Pick?

Here's the most practical way to match a pass to a person:

If you mainly want speed and hotspot freedom

If you want "unlimited" but can live with a speed ceiling

If you stream a lot and want the bundle value

If you want the least "restriction feeling" possible

Final Thought: This Is Basically CelcomDigi Splitting Users Into Two Personality Types

Hyper is for people who like predictable performance and don't mind managing a data bucket.

Power is for people who want the freedom of "unlimited," and would rather accept speed rules than ever see "data finished" again.

If you tell me how you usually use your phone (hotspot a lot, stream a lot, gaming, mostly social apps, etc.), I can point to the one pass that fits your usage style without making it feel like you're choosing a plan through a riddle.
