The “exchange of words” between ANACOM and the Portuguese operators seems to last. As we report here, ANACOM accused the operators of raising prices and reducing the quality of services. The operators responded and said it was a lie.
Now, to prove its accusation, ANACOM has revealed the price “traces” of MEO, Vodafone and NOS. MEO has already responded …
As revealed by ANACOM, “between October and November 2020, the three main providers of electronic communications in Portugal (MEO, NOS and Vodafone), increased the monthly rates of their“ triple play ”base offers by 3.3% (+ € 1) ".
In response, the national operators declared that ANACOM was lying. After NOS stated that the news did not correspond to the truth, Altice Portugal also left a statement clarifying the situation and accusing the Communications Authority of not telling the truth.
ANACOM publishes price impressions
To "prove" what it had said, ANACOM has now published the price impressions of MEO, Vodafone and NOS. It should be remembered that ANACOM said that after this price increase, which appears at the same time, and in the same proportion, and which is much higher than the inflation rate, the lowest monthly rate for its triple play offers amounts to around 31 euros. Since 2018, there are no differences in the monthly rates for this type of offer.
Altice Portugal has already reacted and "welcomes the fact that ANACOM has publicly acknowledged its error, in the accusation of price increases by the Telecommunications Operators".
The situation mentioned in the strange statement issued yesterday by the Communications Authority, refers only to one of several dozen changes in new offers to new customers, normal and recurring in a competitive market, and that reflect changes in rates according to the dynamics. market, adapting the value of these offers up or down.
In the same way, it is clear from what ANACOM now transmits that the mentioned speeds were due to promotional mechanics, which are in themselves normal in an open market.
Altice regrets that, in a first communication, the Communications Authority misled the Portuguese, trying once again to denigrate the Communications Sector.
