Officially: the tariff for the social Internet will cost 5 euros, but the speed and traffic will increase to 30 Mbps and 30 GB per month - Telecommunications

Anacom has approved new broadband social tariff rules setting prices and mandatory minimum speeds. The highlight is the change in values, initially the requested minimum download speed is 10 Mbps, which becomes 30 Mbps, and 1 Mbps download becomes 3 Mbps. In addition to speed, the minimum monthly bandwidth to be included in the offer is between 12 GB and 30 GB.

It also promoted a statement of a monthly fee for broadband Internet service in the amount of € 5 or € 6.15 with 23% VAT. Anacom states that this value meets the goal of making the price affordable for low-income consumers or for special social needs. The regulations also set a maximum price for the activation of the service and the supply of equipment for Internet access, such as routers, at € 21.45 or € 26.38 with 23% VAT.

The project dates back to 2019, but only at the end of July Decree-law defining the basis for the application of tariffs for the social Internet– a measure expected to benefit approximately 700,000 low-income families in order to guarantee Internet access. It is planned that this will be done before the end of the year.

The regulator also advises that it has recommended that the Government consider exemption from the obligation to offer Internet companies at social rates with acceptable turnover weighing less than 1% of the global acceptable turnover of the electronic communications sector.

It is noted that this tariff for social Internet will be available to all operators that offer this type of service for people with low incomes and special social needs. The aim is to reduce barriers to Internet access and to promote their appropriate use. Anacom estimates that 800,000 people can benefit from this special rate nationwide, although there may be fewer effective recipients.

Anacom justifies increasing the speed values ​​to meet the Internet access needs of elements of the household as part of a satisfactory service experience. He also wants to avoid the risk of social exclusion by not putting the beneficiaries of the proposal at a disadvantage than other regular Internet users, “with adequate participation in the digital economy and society,” the statement said.

Operators have already left their positions in response to Anacom’s decision. A APriitel argues the proposed value could have high costs for the sector… Pedro Mota Soares, secretary general of Apritel, has already told SAPO TEK that “the financing of this social policy should come primarily from public funds and not just burden the electronic communications sector”. In preliminary figures provided by Anacom, Associação D3 defended the fact that this social internet tariff has characteristics (in terms of speed and traffic volume) that make it “second-rate connection and not in line with the measure’s targets,” arguing that the targets pointed to minimum coverage of 30 Mbps, the value that Anacom just updated.

SAPO TEK has collected some questions about this Social Tariff, already based on data from Decree-Law 66/2021, which we share here

The first Dacia hybrid.  "The cheapest hybrid family on the market"

BUT Dacia revealed this Monday that the hybrid engine has been available since March on the Jogger, the Romanian brand’s model known to be available with a seven-seat variant.

The Jogger Hybrid 140, Dacia’s first hybrid, will hit dealerships in March, but customers can expect and order it as early as January.

The price has been revealed by Dacia and since it’s only available in the seven-seater SL Extreme, it starts at €28,800. The brand claims it is “the most affordable hybrid family car on the market.”

Available in six existing colors to celebrate the launch of this hybrid, there will be a slate gray version, as you can see in the images above.

Equipped with a 1.6 liter four-cylinder petrol engine with 90 hp, the Jogger is also powered by two electric motors (a 50 hp engine and a high-voltage starter-generator). The total power is 140 horsepower. The electric transmission is automatic, four-speed, connected to an internal combustion engine, and two speeds are connected to an electric motor. This combined technology was possible, according to Dacia, only due to the lack of clutch.
