The FCC has directed broadband providers (both wired and wireless) to provide "broadband facts" for all plans they offer by mid-April. These facts provide a nutrition label-like list of features, pricing, taxes/fees, and network information that shoppers can use to make better decisions online. These broadband facts are now widely adopted by nearly every provider I've researched, and as I discovered for the first time in my search last month, most providers include them on the pricing page rather than in the details of their website. Presenting information.
I love these new broadband facts or broadband labels, whatever you want to call them.
Over the past few days, I've been looking at Mint Mobile's website after T-Mobile completes its acquisition, Cricket's website about having a new $15 plan, and whether or not this information will finally come into focus. I looked at Verizon's website to find out. . It's great that you can easily find broadband information in most of these places.
If you visit the pricing page for T-Mobile, Visible, and Mint Mobile, you'll see them today. In other words, you can ignore the approaches they use to sell their plans and instead look at the facts and make decisions. That's amazing.
When you visit the Mint Mobile website and click on 'Buy Plans', you will see a clear overview of the available plans, with information about broadband products displayed directly below. The same goes for T-Mobile, Visible, and Cricket websites, where Xfinity will ask you for your address first.
The Mint Mobile site is one of the best examples of how useful this is. The site offers at least four different plans and is constantly running promotions with confusing pricing. But when you look at the facts, it explains how much the plan will actually cost after the promotion, how much data it includes, whether it's unlimited, how much taxes will be added to the monthly fee, etc. I am. This was all the information airlines needed when deciding on a plan, such as whether there were temporary charges or whether a contract was necessary, and it was difficult to find and understand.
Below is a list of all important broadband facts about wireless carriers and prepaid providers.
*Verizon and AT&T still hide broadband facts behind their sales portals, and you won't see them until you visit a special portal. Go to the page and add your address, possibly your phone number, etc.
