5G is not yet popular, but 4G packages have been quietly removed from the shelves, and this wave of operations by operators has caused a lot of criticism

2020 is coming to an end. After a year of hard work by the three major operators, the number of 5G base stations in China has increased significantly, and 5G signal coverage has been achieved in most areas of some mainstream cities. At the same time, 5G mobile phones are becoming more and more popular, but what worries the three major operators is that the activation rate of 5G packages is growing slowly. Therefore, the current situation is that many users who use 5G mobile phones still retain the previous 4G packages.

Faced with this embarrassing situation, the three major operators have also used various means to increase the activation rate of 5G packages, but the effect is not ideal. Xiaoyu thinks that there are two main reasons for this situation. One is that the current 4G packages are not problematic and are completely sufficient, and the other is that the prices of 5G packages are generally high.

Recently, many media have said that the three major operators deliberately "tightened 4G" in order to promote 5G packages, resulting in #a significant decrease in the number of 4G packages of the three major operators#.

However, this move attracted a barrage of abuse and suppression from netizens.

For this reason, Xiaoyu also went to the online business halls of the three major operators to find out the truth. As a result, it was difficult to find the entrance to 4G packages in the online business halls of the three operators. Even if there are some, they are some cooperative packages such as Star Card and King Card with relatively high monthly rents.

Communication technology is developing, and the popularization of 5G is also a trend of future development. It is understandable that operators want to promote 5G. After all, the funds invested in 5G network construction are also very large. Therefore, in order to recover capital, operators are also trying every means to promote 5G packages to users. However, the prices of 5G packages are mostly relatively high. According to the tariff standards of the three major operators, the lowest is 128 yuan per month. This tariff is indeed very high compared to Xiaoyu's monthly call fee of 8 yuan.

Therefore, this is also an important reason why many users are reluctant to activate 5G packages.

In addition to the decreasing number of 4G packages, some netizens have also reported that their 4G network speeds are getting slower and slower. Have you also encountered the situation of slow 4G network speeds? Do you plan to activate a 5G package?
