Movistar Fusión is an offer that will force many operators to change their way of acting and, also, their price rates. But there is a segment in which its impact is going to be much more important: in that of data rates. This is where Movistar will wreak havoc in front of anyone else ... unless they react, of course.
For now, there are not many offers that are able to withstand a direct comparisonBut we are going to compare in the best possible way what Movistar Fusión offers with respect to the Yoigo Infinite Rate and Other Yoigo rates.
What you have to be clear about is that Fusion is € 10 more expensive than the one offered by Yoigo. But what is really important are the big differences between the two, since, for example, Movistar's offer includes ADSL connection y unlimited SMS messages.
The best of Movistar Fusion
The price of this new offer is 49,90€ and, it includes the following:
- ADSL of 10 megabytes
- Unlimited calls to landlines from the "landline" phone
- Data rate: 500 minutes, Unlimited SMS y 1 GB of data
In addition, if necessary, the user can contract in 500 minute sections for an additional 10 euros and no call setup fee… That is, it costs 0,02 cents per minute. Additionally, you can add other phones under the same conditions for 20 euros per month…so the cost of each contracted minute is 0,04… An impressive offer.
The typical Fusion user is very general, as it offers a global proposal and is broad enough in its options to fit any profile. Although the brand name evolved toward more customizable packages, the Fusion approach serves as a reference for understanding convergent bundles with landline, internet, mobile and television.
The best of Yoigo's Infinite Rate
On Yoigo's side, its flat rate offer has a monthly cost of € 39. And these are the conditions offered in the data rate (it does not include ADSL or calls from any landline):
- Unlimited calls to any mobile phone
- 1 GB of data
- SMS to 10 cents each message
- If the 300 different numbers per month, calls are charged at 12 cents per minute
It should be noted that when this offer came to the market, it was groundbreaking since it was the first real flat rate to be introduced in Spain… but as you can see, Movistar's response has been very harsh.
It is evident that this rate is designed for those users who make calls en masse, since this way they can take advantage of the option of unlimited calling.
Pay TV, channels and how operators contract
Pay TV has become a decisive factor when comparing fiber and mobile packages. In general, operators include TV if you hire fiber with them, although there are independent access options. Proposals such as Movistar Plus+ (with original content and full football in its advanced packages), Orange-TV (various packages and sports), and Vodafone TV (thematic modules and platforms). Among the most economical ones, there are alternatives with AgileTV in groups such as Yoigo and MásMóvil, or basic TV on Digi and other MVNOs.
It is convenient to distinguish the technology: IPTV offers greater efficiency and lower delay than OTT, by not consuming the same contracted bandwidth and reducing latency in live broadcasts. If you care about the CP Football to premium channels (movies, series, documentaries, children's or sports), check what the base package includes and what extras are paid separately.
Unlimited data, speed, permanence and fine print
Rates with unlimited data They are not always equivalent: some limit the maximum speed (for example at 2 or 10 Mbps), others apply restrictions to the streaming video (SD quality) and most establish a criterion of reasonable useAlthough an official speed limit isn't usually specified, it's essential to check the conditions of use to avoid speed reductions.
If you prefer a combination of fiber + unlimited mobile, large operators often include benefits such as discounts on additional lines for families, options of multiSIM and TV modules. MVNOs tend to be cheaper, but with fewer extras. Also check if there are permanence when you add devices in installments or access promotions.
To choose wisely: determine the fiber speed necessary (100 Mb is enough for streaming and moderate teleworking; from 300 Mb if you are many users), which gigabytes and minutes requires your mobile, and if you wish Pay TV with sports or platforms. Some operators allow you to configure the package and add extra lines with different data bonuses.
Will there be a response to Movistar Fusion from the competition?
Well, for now there is no known movement regarding the competition, apart from the attempt not to launch it on the market. But surely for the Christmas campaign, Vodafone, Orange, Jazztel, Ono and company have already been able to create offers that may be a valid option for users ... for the account that brings them, of course. What do you think of Movistar Fusión?
Today, the competition's response is already broad: Vodafone stands out with TV modules and options with limited or full speed; Orange y Movistar They are a reference if you are looking for all football; Telstra and others from the MásMóvil group offer TV through Agile TV; and operators such as Digi o O2 They opt for simple packages with reasonable prices. The key is to compare channels, technology (IPTV vs OTT), data conditions and possible operating limits so that the chosen package truly suits your use.
