Bouygues Telecom: New conditions that could cost you – 01net.com

This is a first in France. Bouygues Telecom will break a taboo by ending the fair use for all. This practice is to reduce the speed of internet subscribers once the envelope data package from their exhausted. They then receive still sufficient speed to read their mail, for example, but more to see a video. Above all, it is the guarantee for customers not to blow their bill.

All subscribers B & amp; You and the new customers are concerned sensation

There existed the possibility to purchase additional credit or MB per minute and even special deals without fair use to subscribe through an individual approach. But there it is downright end the fair use by default.

The operator plans to apply the new provisions from February 15 next packages for new subscribers Sensation (with commitment) and all B & amp packages; You (no obligation). Former customers will receive notification by mail of the change over a month in advance, while the information about it are already online on the official website.

The data overruns will cost twice as expensive as before

Specifically, Bouygues Telecom will notify users by SMS once they have consumed 80%, then 100 % of internet envelope. Once the data bucket exhausted, they automatically continue to surf in 3G / 4G without being penalized by a slow flow. A third SMS will be sent to remind the rates charged. These depend on the offer purchased.

For packages of less than 1GB, the MB will cost 0.05 euros to a maximum of 500 MB for only 25 euros Either 500MB! Exceeding therefore for holders of a B & amp package; You and between 3.99 14.99 euros. For holders of a higher package 1GB of data, the MB will cost 0.01 euros per 1GB overcome. Again it hurts because the subscriber will have to pay 10 euros for 1 additional GB, while it could previously buy a 1GB recharge … for only 5 euros.

If the tipping off data plan will be by default, it will still be possible to request to return to a limited power mode. With charging options 500 MB or 1 GB.

“We wanted to give freedom and choice to our subscribers can continue to surf without limitation” We told a spokesman of the operator. As a means to push for consumption and take advantage of the passivity or the thoughtlessness of those who will not return to the approach of fair use and thus pay twice as much overtaking their internet consumption.
