Singapore telco Singtel has announced "unlimited" mobile plans with a small catch: the maximum one can download on the 500Mbps download speed offered on the plan is 62GB.
After that, the download speed is capped at 1Mbps, which presumably would not make downloading much fun. In fact, it would be quite painful.
Singtel announced the unlimited plan named DATA X INFINITY today.
It builds on the some of the company's Combo plans which offer 3GB, 6GB and 12GB for S$68.90, S$95.90 and S$239.90 per month respectively.
{loadposition sam08}Moving to the DATA X plan involves paying an extra S$39.90 per month on each plan.
In the terms and conditions, Singtel says: "DATA X INFINITY is solely for personal and non-commercial use only. To ensure that the activities of some users do not impact the ability of other Customers to have access to reliable services, fair usage policy of 50GB above the plan allocated data bundle is applicable on DATA X INFINITY.
"Example: Combo 12 customers will enjoy 12GB + 50 GB. When the monthly usage exceeds 50GB (over & above plan allocated data bundle), data speeds will be set at 1Mbps. Normal speed will resume 00:00 hours on your next billing cycle."
Earlier this month, Australian mobile provider OVO offered a 100GB plan for A$100 a month which is a better deal than the one Singtel has just announced.
