In September, the rumored operator will cancel the news of the unlimited traffic package and finally get the real hammer. Telecom and China Unicom have successively removed the relevant packages, and the mobile has no action.
The news was originally from a telecom notification file on the network that was discontinued on the Internet in August, saying that the “Down Speed Reduction Package” will be completely discontinued from September 1st. China Telecom has indeed gone offline, and this news has also been confirmed by the customer service. It is replaced by the “99 yuan 2019 version of Tianyi enjoyment package”: Internet traffic 20GB / month, domestic call duration 300 minutes / month, traffic exceeds part of the press 5 yuan / 1GB charge.

Although Unicom said it has not received a notice to stop selling, but it has been removed from the “ice cream package” in the online business hall (not open to new users, but old users can still catch the last bus by changing the package) can only go offline According to the practice of outlets, it is also a matter of time before the sale is stopped.
Like Telecom, China Unicom has also launched an alternative package: “Ice Cream Domestic Traffic Package – Safe Edition”, which can pay 20G or 40G per month for 99 yuan or 199 yuan. The tariff for the package is similar to that of Telecom. , respectively, 5 yuan / GB and 3 yuan / GB.
At present, only mobile has not started on the unlimited traffic package, and the monthly “high-traffic package” of 78 yuan is still on the official website.
However, users who have previously applied for unlimited traffic packages do not have to worry about it. The original package can still be used normally, and it is not affected by the suspension of sales, but there is a possibility that the contract cannot be renewed after the contract expires.
In fact, the unlimited traffic plan is not really unlimited. After the monthly traffic reaches the value, it will be processed at the rate limit. For example, the mobile traffic is still selling. For example, the traffic rate exceeds 20GB. Up to 1Mbps, the total traffic exceeds 200GB and the speed limit is 128Kbps or less. After being criticized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the three major operators also avoided the “unlimited amount” in the later publicity, and renamed it “the speed limit.”
A lot of traffic users have a lot of dissatisfaction with the operators’ speed limit, but they think that although the network speed drops at least, there is no need to worry about the traffic exceeding the standard. According to the new package regulations, the traffic will be paid after the standard exceeds the standard. The cost is actually a price increase in disguise. Since the first two years of overwhelming promotion of unlimited packages, it has only just started in 5G construction.In the case of the step, the company is eager to cancel the unlimited package, and the operator is inevitably being ugly.
In the past, regardless of the cost, the price war and the user will inevitably bring about a rise in costs. It is proof that the three major operators’ revenues have fallen in the first half of the year. The growth of users has also caused the base stations to be overwhelmed. At least in the face of recent users’ doubts about the slowdown of 4G network speed, several operators have given similar explanations. With reduced revenues and high costs, operators are also expected to slash the unlimited traffic packages. However, the recent slowdown in the Internet has caused users to complain, and now cancels the unlimited package. When the news comes out, the three major operators may be subject to more nicknames.
