This is an experience I wanted to share here.
Few months back I had taken a new fiber broadband connection, their annual package offer was, you pay upfront for 1 year and you get an additional month free. This offer was good considering the fair market rates at that time, but decided to hold back because of a similar experience I had last year. Now this decision to not pay upfront for an annual package had turned out to be a good decision. Last month the service provider had revised their data packages, now I can get 20% more bandwidth for 30% less cost. If I decided to opt for the annual package I would have lost out heavily.
About that last years experience mentioned above, remember when last year the mobile networks announced they are increasing the rates of data packages, I rushed to pay and queue 4 topups for JIO network data packages for my mobile broadband device, that would last me for a year. But not realizing I won’t need this mobile broadband 6 months later.
I think in an ever-changing world of new technology getting introduced every few months and with the benefits of competitive pricing, sometimes not going for annual packages will save more.
Have you had any similar experience?
