We were waiting for a
small revolution on the Free package a week ago, this one has finally
been mainly aanticipation of European constraints
regarding the end of roaming charges, with countries
additional. We talked about itwidely in
This item.
Today, new announcement from the telecoms troublemaker, with a change
on its package previously including a maximum of 50 GB of data. Free
just gave some meaning to the wordunlimitedin
removing the already high barrier of 50 GB, pour
some of his clients.
Thus, the 15.99 euro package offered toonly fixed subscribers
Freeboxnow offers theunlimitedand 4G,
for real. Aworld premiereaccording to the
press release from the operator.
This is in addition to unlimited calls, SMS and MMS in mainland France.
At the same time, the package still includes roaming from more than 35 countries
all year round and up to 5 GB per month in Internet data exchanges.
When we consult the small lines, we note that there still remains a
limitation, it concerns 3G and the ceiling here is 100 GB.
Regarding Free Mobile subscribers who do not have a fixed subscription
Free at home, the ceiling is raised to 100 GB of monthly communication in
3G and 4G (for those who have a 4G compatible mobile, 3 GB for others).
We can welcome this change which of course will please users
the most greedy and will prevent them from having to keep an eye on the data counter.
This is undeniable comfort, but starting from a package already at 50 GB, the
number of users concerned could in practice be relatively
limitArcep recently indicated that the average data consumption
of French smartphone users stands at 1.4 GB per month. Furthermore,
we can obviously only regret the exclusivity reserved for subscribers
Free fixes.
The fact remains that this opens a (small) breach in the face of the limitations of others
competing packages, a welcome change which could lead to a
increase in internet quotas on all packages. We will see this
in the days and weeks to come.
Especially since competing operators have already launched this
trend towards increasing data communication ceilings
