Jman888 Moderator August 18, 2014 Share August 18, 2014 4G plans are changing telcos' game Extra charges - as more users exceed mobile data plans - add to their coffers PUBLISHED ON AUG 18, 2014 Many consumers are busting their monthly mobile data caps as they have yet to change their habits, say analysts, even after signing on to tiered data plans, which come with usage capped at as low as 100MB, depending on price tiers. -- ST FILE PHOTO BY IRENE THAM TECHNOLOGY CORRESPONDENT More people are upgrading to 4G plans and busting their mobile data limits, putting an extra penny in telcos' pockets. SingTel, StarHub and M1 recently reported that between 54 per cent and 58 per cent of all their postpaid mobile subscribers are on tiered data plans, most of which are 4G ones. These plans come with data usage capped at as low as 100MB, depending on price tiers. These replaced the generous 3G plans, all of which came with a much higher 12GB cap, but which have not been on sale since September 2012. i do find the data usage is faster than before, still remember i hardly hit 1GB in a month and now i hit 3GB in less than a month ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
