Reliance Jio's debut may have made telecom firms edgy but consumers aren't complaining. The intense price war before RJio's debut has unleashed attractive internet data offers by telecom providers who are now doing everything to ensure their customers don't switch.
Going with the best available options with different telecos, we have done a quick comparison of current internet data rates for the prepaid customer. Would be worth your time to check this out.
Airtel recently revised its data pack plans for their prepaid and corporate customers. It slashed its internet prepaid tarrifs to 80 per cent and over 150 per cent for its corporate customers, bringing down the former to as low as Rs 51/GB and latter to Rs 99.5/GB.
With its current offering, you spend Rs 1,498 for 1GB 3G/4G data and post exhaustion, customers can enjoy 1GB 3G/4G for just Rs 51. For a year long period, you get 12 GB 3G/4G of data at Rs 2110 for 12 months (13 packs of 1 GB each), if you are a Airtel customer. (Do note the validity for 1st GB data is 28 days)
On the other hand, Vodafone is giving 1GB data (3G/4G) for Rs 297 with validity for 28 days. This sums up to Rs 3,861 for 13 GB of data for 12 months.
State-owned BSNL is also in the race and is providing 1GB (3G data) at Rs 198. Eventually you need to spend at around Rs 2574 for 13 GB for a year. (Note: Rate is for 3G data unlike others)
Idea which is also trying to catch up with competitors is providing 1GB (3G) at Rs 249 for 28 days. You will end up spending Rs 3,237 for 13 GB for a year.
While RJio is set to be officialy rolled out in just two days, the competition is set to get fierce. Whatever be the outcome of this fight, customers are destined to gain more.
A little note of caution, all plans are valid for 28 days and not a month. That would mean, over a period of 12 months, you will end up buying 13 packs to last a year and not 12. And all rates we stated above are for Delhi NCR.
