The telecommunications market has suffered numerous price increases in recent months. The number of small companies has been declining, and this reduction in competition may be the cause. In any case, Movistar Fibra 50 MB will raise its price in February 2017, so your customers should keep the change in mind.
The truth is that the 50 MB modality in fiber optics was launched only a few months ago. But this increase does not affect all those who have contracted 50 megabytes of speed with Movistar. Actually, Movistar Fibra 50 MB refers to the modality that includes the connection outside of other packages. In other words, those who have Fusion, the company's flagship product, will not suffer a price increase.
It's no secret that Movistar, like other traditional operators, always tries to get us to contract packs with many services to increase their income. As of next February 5, Movistar Fibra will increase its price to 38.01 euros per month, with VAT included So the product loses attractiveness, from later. Previously it cost 36 euros per month, with the additional line fee of 17.40 euros per month, which remains unchanged.
In any case, the discounts will be maintained for customers who have them for the duration of their promotion… although the notices that are being sent are a bit confusing, since the final price is indicated with these discounts and after which the corresponding discounts will be applied. For example, we have received this communication with this month's invoice:
Regarding the possibility of terminating our contract in the event that we do not like the new conditions, we must bear in mind that they will require us to pay the fees for any terminal that we have financed. On the other hand, we must consider that Movistar had already announced several price increases for 2017, specifically, for the month of January.
Of course, it is bad news that Movistar Fibra 50 MB price rises for next year Fiber is reaching all operators little by little, so Movistar must be careful, as there are many competitors with equivalent services.
What do you think of the Movistar Fibra 50 MB price increase for February 2017? Does this seem reasonable to you, or do you think that the company should not have made this decision?
