According to the data of the three major operators, by the end of 2021, the total number of 5G package users of the three major operators has reached 730 million, and the 5G penetration rate has exceeded 44%. I have to say that this is definitely a big victory for operators, to know that it is only a little more than 2 years, and the penetration rate is nearly 50%.
However, if I say another data out, maybe everyone will not think so, that is, by the end of the year, there are only about 440 million 5G mobile phones sold in China.
This means that there are nearly 300 million mobile phones in the middle, which are 4G mobile phones themselves, but have been upgraded by operators to 5G packages.
Everyone knows that there is no 5G mobile phone, open a 5G package, there is no point, can not enjoy the high speed of 5G, enjoy only the high tariff of the 5G package.
So why don't these people have 5G phones and open 5G packages? Of course, it is recommended (flickering) by the operator. At present, the 5G package is much more expensive than the 4G package, taking mobile as an example, the 5G package that can be seen on the official website is at least 119 yuan.
In fact, recommending 4G mobile phone users to upgrade the 5G package is only one aspect of the trick, and what is more cruel is that the operator has slowly cancelled all the cheap 4G packages and is no longer on the shelves for everyone to handle.
What does this mean? That is, if you are a new card user, some operators can only let you choose a more expensive 5G package, whether you are a 4G phone or a 5G phone.
If you think that the current 5G package is too expensive and want to return the 4G package, sorry, there is no 4G package now, only 5G, you can't return it.
Equivalently, as long as you are recommended as a 5G package, it is difficult to fall back to the cheap 4G package.
Why do operators do this, of course, in order to make more money, 5G investment is so large, base station operating costs are so high, if everyone does not use, is not a very loss? It is necessary to push more expensive 5G packages.
So the superior sent tasks to the next level, to complete the penetration rate, the number of users, etc. Handling fees, and the local business hall how to do, can only for this KPI, and strive to recommend users to upgrade 5G, whether you are a 4G mobile phone, or a 5G mobile phone, anyway, the rise will make you can not return.
Of course, it is not completely impossible to retreat, if you are tough enough, understand the routine, dare to complain and dare to resist to the end, or can, the problem is that the average person will not do these ah, but also lazy to waste time to consume ah, once I heard that there is no 4G package, even if it is.
Seriously, it is really nothing to ask everyone to apply for 5G packages, and they all understand it, but if you fool everyone through various "tricks", it is really excessive, what do you think?
