We calculated, saving so much with service providers’ telecommunication price stop

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán mentioned in a radio interview last Friday that prices had risen in the telecommunications area besides the food market and the banking sector.

There have been strict conversations in the past. I am very confident that here – as opposed to the food market where we had to intervene – we can understand the word with the service providers

Said the Prime Minister.

According to these, neither of them raises their fees this year, so missed the telekom and the Yettel is a 3.7 percent and one 3.5 percent so -called inflation fee correction. Telekom and One 2026 until 1 July, while The Yetel until next May Keeps the current pricing.

As inflation is incorporated into prices in most cases, most consumers will only realize that the invoice remains unchanged. However, there are some who have paid more in March, and they may experience a decline next month.

-The government expects this year’s inflation to be 4.5 percent, so they could raise it to such an extent early next year, but it would not happen until May-July. After that, it is difficult to imagine voluntarily resigning for the price increase unless another agreement with the government is concluded, explained Levente Tóth.

– Due to the inflation peak, telecommunications companies mowed a huge increase in last year’s increase, which is not affected by these commitments.
