Competition is good, competition helps the development of the market and competition pushes the Cosmote people to launch the first €30 mobile internet subscription that comes with 150GB of traffic included. Orange and Vodafone offer almost 7 times less traffic included in the subscriptions with the same price, so Cosmote made a very brave move that will not be left without an echo. Practically, Cosmote is now doing on the mobile market what RDS did a few years ago, that is, it offers low prices for great benefits, but the big problem at Cosmote could be the infrastructure. Not many people praise Cosmote's mobile internet speeds, although theoretically they should reach up to 21.6 Mbps, but this offer will certainly attract many customers.
Practically, if you are a person who travels a lot, now you no longer need fixed and mobile internet, but you get a 30 euro subscription to Cosmote and you have as much internet as you need, and the price is similar to that of a fixed internet subscription plus a mobile internet subscription. I hope that at the Orange and Vodafone headquarters, the people who deal with mobile internet offers will wake up and finally adjust their prices, because until now I have paid a lot for almost nothing.
The company controlled by OTE (Greece) and Deutsche Telekom (Germany) launched the first mobile internet subscription from the market that includes traffic within the limit of 150 GB of data at a rate of 30 euros, VAT included. The most expensive subscriptions of rivals from Orange and Vodafone, of 35 euros and 19 euros, respectively, include 15 GB of data and 18 GB of data, after which the speed drops to 128 kbps. Until now, no operator on the market has launched packages with such data volume included. Even the unpredictable RCS&RDS has a limit of 5 GB of transferred data for the subscription to mobile internet, after which the speed decreases. The speed of Cosmote 3G mobile internet services is up to 21,6 Mbps.
Thanks to Calu.
