Recently, we saw that all the major telco giants hiking the price of their plans. Brands like Jio, Airtel and Vodafone Idea (Vi) increased the plan prices by a whopping 15% to 25%. In addition to that, the telcos also restricted the streaming benefits being offered with various plans.
On the other hand, streaming services are also on a spree of spiking their prices as Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+ Hotstar have already taken the first step. Considering the recent price hike in these services, all the prepaid plans that offered streaming benefits are now available at a starting price of Rs 500.
However, things are on the brighter side for the postpaid customers. The postpaid plans offered by Airtel, Vi and Jio come with subscriptions for OTT applications like Disney+ Hostar, Amazon Prime, Jio TV, and Netflix.
