The “unlimited data” package is secretly deducting money, and even the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology can’t stand it anymore!

Living in this era of the Internet, where you can have a mobile phone and never have to worry about food and drink, at the end of each month, not only is your wallet empty, but your data plans are also in short supply.

Especially since mobile networks have entered the 4G era, every time I take the subway or bus without Wi-Fi to and from work, I have to painfully turn on my data plan to kill time.

Living on 1 or 2G data plan won't last a month, Tangtang has to tighten his belt every month to watch videos...

If you see an interesting movie, you can only save it silently and watch it on wifi when you get home. It feels like a piece of braised pork is placed in front of you, but if you eat it, you will gain 10 pounds, so you can only watch it helplessly.

It was not until the three major operators began to launch unlimited packages that we could finally eat this piece of meat with confidence.

China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom have all said: "The data is unlimited. If you use it until we go bankrupt, we lose."

But the good times didn't last long, as all sorts of problems emerged: "the data traffic is running much faster than before, mobile phone bills have been rising for months, and the Internet speed is too slow."

Those seemingly unlimited packages that seem to be very convenient to use actually have fatal flaws.

Taking the familiar “Wang Baoqiang Card” (Tencent Wang Card, Ant Bao Card, and JD Qiang Card) as an example, these traffic packages have a cap on the top and various restrictions on the bottom.

Basically: speed limit, quantity limit, application limit

Take the [Tencent King Card] that Tang Tang used as an example. The official monthly rent is 19 yuan, the application is free, and you can enjoy 800M of traffic for one yuan per day!

The most important thing is that you can enjoy the entire Penguin family package including WeChat, QQ, Tencent Video, QQ Music, Honor of Kings, and even QQ Browser for free!

However, many netizens have reported that when using apps such as Tencent Video, barrage or third-party advertisements often steal traffic, so the daily rental package is activated almost every day during normal use.

Add to that the monthly rent, which is at least 49 yuan per person, and there is a "error" compared to the advertised 19 yuan per month. This amount of money is really hard to guard against!

In fact, if you can really play as much as you want for 49 yuan per month, it is quite cost-effective. After all, compared with the previous "5 yuan for 30M", this cooperation between Tencent and China Unicom is still very conscientious!

However, no matter which operator it is, the strategy for data traffic is to set a traffic cap. If the traffic usage exceeds the specified value, it will be "speed-limited", or even the Internet access function will be shut down for the month. It can be said to be "limited and speed-limited".

As for the remaining Ant Bao Card, JD Strong Card, Baidu Shen Card, Bilibili 2233, Weibo V Card, etc., they also have similar "restrictive terms".

In addition, the "unlimited traffic" packages officially launched by the three major operators are also full of routines:

Is this called *** traffic? The three major operators have redefined *** traffic, but users are kept in the dark before opening the card, and they are full of longing for watching movies anytime, just like ***.

In order to solve this telecommunications chaos, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology made a strong statement on June 7: *** data packages cannot have routines! Restrictive clauses must be eye-catching.

The three telecom operators, China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom, have all stated that they will immediately implement the requirements of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, conduct self-inspections, standardize their behaviors during the experience process, and no longer engage in exaggerated publicity.

In addition, the three major operators also stated that they will improve the quality of user services and will no longer discriminate against old users in order to attract new users.

That’s great, which means that the unequal treaty of “old users and dogs are not allowed to apply” is finally going to be broken!

Although "limiting traffic and speed" is also a helpless move for operators, improving "user experience" is the long-term way to development.

It is the responsibility and sincerity that operators must demonstrate to strive for the best usage rights and the best cost-performance ratio for users within their capabilities.

Tang Tang hopes that the three major operators will continue to work hard to continuously optimize and upgrade the network and make mobile phone charges increasingly cheaper.

In the future 5G era, the base station load will increase significantly. Perhaps, the problem of *** traffic will be truly solved.
