Vodafone on 1 August, a subscription offering in which roaming within the bundle falls, as appears from internal information of the provider. In addition, you will lose the Dial plan and reduces the telco data limits for Bel+SMS+Web subscriptions.

This appears from the information that Vodafone internal has spread and where Tweakers.net access has been given. The current B+S+W-subscription service, which calls, sms and internet are combined in one subscription, only small price changes, but receive significantly reduced data limits: the cheapest subscription, the customer will receive 100MB of data, which, in combination with a so-called dataverdubbelaar on 200MB suits.

The data limit with more expensive subscriptions, in increments of 100MB, which is the most expensive variant is a limit of 900MB knows. Currently, the cheapest subscription is a limit of 250MB, while all the more expensive variants about 1GB-metered. The internet speed is all subscriptions to 3.6 Mbps, and tethering should be an extra bundle to be sealed. Can users 100MB of extra data buy for 2.50 euro. Users only need to pay if they are actually more data consumption than is permissible within the bundle.

Therefore providers are not specific internet services by cutting or blocking. The upload speed is for all BSW subscriptions set at 384Kbps.
