As soon as the school year returns, we will want to know what Internet rates to share we can contract in the case that we are sharing a room with other students.
And although there are numerous options on the market, it is best that you always contract without permanence to avoid scares if you are going to stop sharing a flat in the house, or if you do not want to pay for the Internet in summer.
That is why in this article we will tell you about what you should review when hiring an internet to share, and some of the most interesting rates.
Are there internet services at home without permanence?
One of the most common doubts about contracting an internet service at home are the famous permanence costs: when installing an internet service at home our operator incurs a series of expenses (supply, installation, maintenance…) that will try to make them profitable with a permanence cost.
This does not imply that you cannot leave or terminate the service, but rather that if you do not, you will have to pay your operator an economic amount marked in the contract based on the time you should be enjoying the service.
See how permanence works
One of the things that nobody does, but that you should always do when you contract a fiber optic service for your home is to ask how the permanence works: if it is decreasing or increasing.
By this we mean that there are operators who calculate the penalties based on the discounts enjoyed, so that as we approach the penalty end dates, the amount to pay is always much higher than at the beginning of the contract, because you will have enjoyed more discounts for a longer time.
Ask if there are management or installation expenses
And although many operators tell you that they do not have permanence, that does not imply that this internet line is free of costs: also ask if there are charges for the installation of the service in case you unsubscribe before an estimated time, since that you could be in for a nasty surprise when you want to unsubscribe.
Find out if there are transfer expenses
In some companies, although it is not common, if you move your home, they usually charge an economic amount for the technician’s displacement, so it is important that you always check with the operator if you are not sure that you are going to stay in the same location for a long time.
Ask for everything in writing and read the contract well
One of the biggest points that causes dissatisfaction and great surprises is not reading the contracts carefully, or trusting the offers that a commercial tells us orally, without being written. If you are going to contract something, what they tell you in the service contract must be reflected so that in case you have to claim something, you have something to take advantage of.
The best fiber deals for students
Although we are far from September, which is when the famous Back to School campaign begins, which seeks to attract students who need internet to share with each other, there are certain rates that are usually maintained throughout the year and that may be of interest to us.
Vodafone Yu: fast fiber without permanence aimed at young audiences
The English operator has been offering Yuser Fiber for several years: an optical fiber of 600 mbps without permanence and at a cost of 34.50 VAT included, but with certain premises that are important for you to know.
In Spain there are multitudes of homes that already have a Vodafone socket pre-installed, especially the homes that came from the old Ono with its HFC connection. In this case, the operator will send you a router to your home so that you can install it yourself, it will come pre-activated and it will work as soon as you connect it to the connection box.
If you do not have a junction box, there is an installation cost of 70 euros, which will be charged on the first invoice.
Another of the strong services of the operator is that it allows us to suspend the service during the months that we are not studyingup to a maximum of three and that can begin to be requested between May and July. but beware! You will only be able to benefit from this if your fiber footprint belongs to the operator and you are not on a Movistar line.
To contract the service, you can do so at any of the operator’s stores, through the website or by calling the contracting number 1444.
O2: Cheap fiber of 300 mbps without permanence
For its part, Movistar sells through o2its economic subsidiary, a symmetric fiber of 300 mbps which does not include penalties of any kind or associated stays, for only 27 euros.
Although to price/megabyte is more expensive than other options on the market (which are moving around 600 mbps or even 1 Gbps), you know that you will have a good fiber coveragewith a fairly advanced router (the famous Movistar HGU Router) and that you will not have problems for a technician to come and install the service for you.
What is important is that whenever you want to contract the service, you check on the company’s own website if there is coverage and if you want to contract it, you do it via the website or by calling 1551.
Fiber Students of Orange: 500 mbps without registration fee, but with permanence
OrangeFor its part, it offers a 500 mbps fiber optic for students who want internet to share, at a competitive price of 30.95 per month and with calls included in the landline.
The big problem that we see with this rate is that the information provided by the operator can sometimes be a bit contradictory and difficult to interpret.
Although it clearly specifies on its website that it has a free installation, until you access the general section of the fibers you do not find the open message that you have 12 months of permanencefinding a section on the web that confirms it:
Conditions associated with benefits
Enjoy discounts on the installation of the service and/or on the monthly installments of your rate, agreeing to maintain the fibre/adsl service contracted for 12 months.
Reviewing the breakdown of costs that may exist on the website itself, we find that the associated landline actually has a maximum of 200 calls per month, but after these they will be charged at 25 cents per minute, in addition to an epigraph that says “The monthly fee is prorated in the registration and cancellation, and in the rate changes”that we cannot fully understand what they refer to in the Gallic operator.
For all these reasons, if you decide to contract the Orange offer in its usual channels (147, web or physical stores), we advise you to ask several times about these concepts. But since it is such an unclear offer and with a 12-month stay, It is not something we can advise you to hire if you are a student who wants internet to share.
Digi: the champion in quality / price, with only 3 months of permanence
If what you are looking for is a cheap and functional fiber, For 15 euros a month you have Digi’s 300 mbps fiberwhich today is the cheapest offer of fiber without compromises in the country.
The Romanian operator agrees to leave you a 100% free installation, keeping the price static for as long as the contract is in force no fine print.
And although it does not have permanence as such, Yes, they ask you for a commitment to stay with them for at least 3 months.s, so that installation costs can be profitable. Something that for a student can be totally acceptable and valid, without a doubt.
To contract the service, you can do so by calling the 1200 number if you are a Digi customer or 642642642 from any other company, as well as on the operator’s own website or at its authorized points of sale.
These are some of the offers that we have found today on the internet to share so that you know them.
As we have said before, we advise you to review the conditions carefully and find out about the permanence, deadlines and what you need to contract the service, so that the fiber is not a problem for when you are studying.
