T-Mobile would users from the end of the month want to pay for unlimited mobile internet. For a subscription with mobile internet would 4,95 euro extra to be paid, otherwise the user with a hard data limit.
Now it is so that users on paper in a ‘free’ bundle ‘Unlimited Internet access’ with their subscription. Within two weeks, will that bundle is no longer free, so say various tweakers to have heard of the customer service. From then on applies to new subscribers with a hard data limit, unless they 4,95 pay for ‘unlimited internet’. In addition, the speed is reduced, but continues to surf the internet.
The provider would have not yet decided when the change takes effect. In any case it is clear that this month. One of the tweakers says heard that ‘technical restrictions’ have made sure that the change has not previously been in could go. T-Mobile would customers in advance, not on a large scale want to warn. “It will, once on the site, would the customer have heard about it. The changes would be only for new subscribers or customers who renew subscription, existing customers can keep the current terms and conditions with their subscription.
T-Mobile denies the message. “There will be this month no change is made. Of course, we are constantly optimising our subscription and pricing structures, and we see two important developments. The customer wants to own the choice and the customer does not wish for unexpected surprises. Here we keep our choices into account.” The provider points to an option, where the data limit doubled at the regular speed for 10 euros per month. That option can per month can be used.
It is the first time that T-Mobile is abandoning the model of “flat fee” unlimited internet subscriptions. The past few years, advertised T-Mobile with unlimited internet. Other providers were first a fair use policy with a soft limit and did then hard data limits since the summer of 2010. T-Mobile remains the only provider that is a paid option for unlimited mobile internet; that option is not available for competitive telco’s.
Update 14.36 you: T-Mobile says to Nu.nl the option to investigate, but suggests that in the short term, nothing changes.
