Price Surge Hits Irancell TD-LTE Services
Irancell, one of Iran’s leading mobile network operators, has implemented significant price increases for its TD-LTE internet packages, with hikes reaching up to 70% in some cases. The move comes amid widespread user complaints about service disruptions and connectivity issues across various regions.
Key Changes in Pricing
Recent reports highlight steep rises across multiple data plans:
- Monthly 50GB package: Increased by 44%, from 118,000 toman to 170,000 toman.
- Annual 400GB package: Rose by 18%, from 905,000 toman to 1,070,000 toman.
- Weekly 14GB plan: Jumped 40%, now priced at 82,000 toman (up from 59,000 toman).
- Three-month 60GB plan: Saw the sharpest spike—69% higher, now costing 290,000 toman.
User Frustrations Grow
The price adjustments coincide with ongoing technical challenges, including frequent outages and unstable connections, leaving many subscribers dissatisfied. Some users report persistent disruptions over recent weeks, raising concerns over service reliability despite higher costs.
Operators Cite Economic Pressures
Earlier this year, mobile operators warned of impending price adjustments, citing rising operational expenses. In a public statement, industry representatives indicated that increases of up to 75% might be necessary to sustain service quality. Irancell’s latest pricing shifts appear to be the first phase of these adjustments.
Looking Ahead
As Irancell rolls out these changes, subscribers await clarity on whether service improvements will follow. For now, the steep hikes underscore the broader economic challenges facing telecom providers—and their customers—in maintaining affordable, high-quality internet access.
