12% is hardly anything, it will be minimum 20% hike again. They have to raise money for setting up the 5G infrastructure.

It will be standalone network infrastructure or non-standalone?

I don't mind even 50% hike if they are giving unlimited data with some speed caps like 50Mbps or 100Mbps.

No one will give unlimited data, the plans will be the same as 4G but with higher speeds.

Top 2 Telcos might start 5G SA as their 4G spectrum fully utilized and Vi may go with 5G NSA due to less investment.
