O2 today launches new fixed internet tariffs called Max. The name comes from the fact that people always get the highest possible speed on a given DSL or wireless connection (optical does not apply). In this way the operator breaks the twenty-year dogma according to which tariffs vary based on price and speed. With Max the single price of 599 CZK applies and the speed depends only on the status of the line at the indicated location.
“We want to give customers the most of what the O2 network offers at home without having to deal with price. More than 2/3 of households using wireless or DSL technology can already have speeds of at least 100 Mbit/s with O2, so why not have the best? That’s why we at O2 have decided to allow customers to enjoy maximum speeds at the price of regular Internet,” says Martin Čejka, director of landline services at O2.
It’s definitely an innovative approach, but it obviously has its drawbacks. This will only bring real savings in the two highest gear stages. They once cost more than 599 CZK. But O2 also offered two lower and even cheaper fares. For those who have a VDSL line with a maximum speed of 20/2 Mb/s leading to their apartment or house, 599 CZK is an unreasonably high price. Furthermore, the modernization of the DSL network by Cetin has already practically stopped, so we cannot expect future acceleration either.
Original price New price 20/2 Mb/s CZK 449 CZK 599 50/5 Mb/s CZK 549 CZK 599 100/20 Mb/s CZK 649 CZK 599 250/25 Mb/s CZK 749 CZK 599
Max includes the O2 TV blue basic TV package with numerous programs in addition to those normally available for free in DVB-T2 (Filmbox HD, Disney Channel, Spektrum Home, National Geographic HD…).
The recently negotiated Max fares will only cost half as much (299 CZK) in the first six months, but will then increase to the standard price of 599 CZK. The second bonus is time-limited access to O2 TV Sport, but that ends in March.
Maximum fares are available immediately for new contracts, O2 will convert the original ones from 1 April 2024.
