My tiny EU brain simply cannot comprehend the level of independence and control that has been taken back
*Laughs in my Italian provider (Iliad) giving me 30 GB for 5,99 € per month*
250 GB / 9,99€ / month
Amateurs.
I would go for 1€ 5GB if I could.
Never reached 10GB mark on my mobile plan
For me 5tb at 7€ would be a downgrade
I wonder, when Brexit was again… A, 2020, got it. You got what you voted for, congratulations.
Why in april?
This is not about mobile phones, but about broadband and mobile bills, according to your source:
Broadband and mobile bills are soaring in the UK – depending on who you talk to
I haven’t really seen this phenomenon myself. My phone and broadband have been cheaper, or faster for the same price, or at least static price+speed every year for the entire time mentioned in this graph. One issue is that home fibre connections are still not widespread and some people are trapped in single provider areas (fuck you Virgin).
Ah, the sunlit uplands of Brexit.
Lots of providers started introducing a CPI+3% or CPI+5% style annual mid-contract rise every April.
Phone prices or phone service prices?
Subheading makes it clearer that it is talking about the services rather than the phones
WTF? How is it possible for prices for services to go up like that in the UK?
Is there no competition?I’m a very light user of mobile internet, so what i pay now is laughably cheap. 3€ per month for everything, data, phoning and SMS/MMS.
That said, most my Data use is over WiFi.Half of the population are turnip brained racists that got conned into voting against their best interests to leave the EU.
This sort of shit is the result.
The mobile phone network I use, Smarty, hasn’t raised it’s prices for at least the 4 years I’ve been with them.
My contract: €15 per month 150 GB per month (includes 22 GB in the EU and UK)
My (Swiss) contract: 5G unlimited, 3GB EU + US roaming, CHF 16 (~18 €) per month
Unlimited 5G for 15 a month. Unlinited 500gb fibre for 30 a month.
Wow, that’s cheap. Where do you live?
Ireland. These are a new operator offering prices for life if you switch.
It can go up a fair bit depending on operator but for te most part fibre is available and cheap for homes and same for 5g for mobiles.
