Is Now a Good Time to Switch?
The recent plan changes may not be enticing for many customers. While the additional data is a welcome improvement, the price hikes are likely to deter those who prioritize affordability over high data allowances. The Boxing Week deals offered more competitive pricing, making this a less favorable time to switch or upgrade your plan.
