Telenet says consumer research has shown that the average customer uses 700 MB mobile data per month. This data use has doubled in 18 months' time and is still rising. The boundaries between fixed and mobile are disappearing. Three residential plans are offered, starting at EUR 100.00 per month for digital TV (74 channels, 13 are in HD) internet at 200/20 Mbps and 200 GB data cap and unlimited voice calls within the country. This pack includes two SIM cards with unlimited voice, unlimited SMS and 2 GB mobile data, shared between both users. The EUR 120.00 pack includes 5 SIM cards and 5 GB. The data cap on the fixed internet service is lifted. EUR 140.00 per month buys 10 GB of mobile data, shared between five users. Wigo Business for the SoHo market includes TV, internet (with a 3 TB data cap) unlimited voice calls and 4 GB mobile data for two devices, for EUR 100.00 per month.
