Well according to their website, they offer 5mbs and telephony for 19.90 euro per month (around 140TL today around 150tl last week or so) as a special offer price - normal price 27 euro per month (approx 190TL). 50Mbs is 44.90 euro / 315 TL. Scroll down a bit and to get upload of 2mbs or more there is additional cost. One off additional payment of 44.90 as well. So lets say you go for the top package with highest upload over a year that would be 44.90*12 + 12*12+44.90 = 727.70 euro for the year or 5093.90 TL per year.AFC wrote:Primetel, who also purchase their equipment in Euros and have substantially higher costs then MM offer better internet, for far less. For those not aware Primetel are based in the south, pay staff in euro's, not TL, have shops on most high streets (added costs in Euros) yet are able to offer Fiber Internet Technology, with speeds of up to 100 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload, for far far less.

Nor is this a fibre (to the home) connection. It is a DSL based connection - ie it needs a phone line. Telecoms in the south is privatised and regulated according to national and EU laws. In the north the state owned telecoms provider is still state owned and access to their network to competitors is not protected by national or supra national regulation. Oh and we buy equipment in euros AND pay import duties on such equipment as well. To be honest the comparison is in my view flawed in so many ways but the idea that you can get 100mbs / 25mbs fibre connection in the south for 19Euro per month would appear to be little more than myth, if primetel's website is anything to go by.
The simple facts are the price we charge today in euro terms is LESS than we were charging in 2016/2015. That is just a plain fact.AFC wrote:The price rise which ever way one looks at it is astronomical and unjustifiable.
I do not understand this 'in less than 6 months' to be honest. If you have renewed the day before the price increase would it have been us raising our prices 976TL in a day ?TheSaints wrote:Which ever way you look at it 976tl price increase in less than 6 months is a lot.
You first took service from us in jan 2015. You paid 1100TL for a year (platinum) and the tl/euro rate then was 2,70 tl to euro making the euro price then of the service around 405 euro for the year. You last renewed with us feb 2018 and price was 1499 and euro rate was 4.66 making euro price 321 euro. Today the price is 2475tl and rate is around 7.0 making 351 euro. I do not know what the TL price for platinum service will in feb 2019 when you next need to renew with us but I can tell you the euro equivalent price will still be less than the 400+ euro you paid beck in 2015.
In euro terms, even at current TL prices, you would pay today around 14% less euros for our platinum service for a year than you paid originally back in 2015.
Astronomical. Unjustifiable.
