The next big hike to the internet has been postponed! Here is the new date

Türk Telekom made a press release on the price hike news
When we took a look at the comparison of the new price list approved by the BTK and the missing price list, it was pleasing that the price hikes were not implemented. Because if the price hikes had come into effect today, the prices below would have been implemented for all ISPs. The new prices were intended to be implemented for ADSL and VDSL2 lines. Regardless of the packet rate, it was checked whether the relevant speed range was in ADSL or VDSL2.

We would like to point out that there has been no price update since February 2020 for the wholesale level Port and Transmission fees. Over the past two years, there have been serious changes in the economic parameters that directly affect the costs, depending on the conjuncture in the world and Turkish economy. Although transmission costs have increased significantly since February 2020, there has been no change in transmission fees.

The proposed update offer for wholesale level services will be effective from 1 June 2022.
