【Broadband offer tips】

To get the most benefits, you first need to know that most of the telecom operators’ broadband Internet charges are very complicated. Not only the price of new or old customers may be different, they also use a lot of assumptions and data to decide what to recommend. Plan for different customers, such as registration channels, buildings you live in (new buildings, old buildings, public housing, private buildings, etc.), customers characteristics and behavior, estimated customer life cycle, etc. The following explains how to register the most!

The easiest way is to check your coverage on the telecommunications official website to find out which plan fees apply.

1. Always discounts for new customers.

Every telecommunications company is trying to offer discounts to attract new customers. Some even do not mind temporarily increasing the number of customers base at cost or even below cost. So, you will see some of the broadband plans on the market are really cheap. As a consumer, this is of course a good news and better than renewal! But if you really like the current operator and wish to renew the contract, you can note that in general, the later you renew your contract, the more favorable the offer will be.

2. Online registration is the best

For telecommunications companies, electronic channel is very cost-effective, because it can save a lot of costs, especially commissions. Therefore, they will convert these costs to attract customers to online registration, launch a number of online limited offers or have a lot of promotional codes. You may wish to use online registration, which is very convenient and even better!

3. The prices of public and private buildings are mostly different.

Basically, most telecommunications operators adopt a strategy of charging public housing flats cheaper than private flats, with the exception of CMHK . Whenever there are large housing estates coming, the major telecommunications companies will have many discounts!
