Poll: Cheaper Wind Data Plan?

19. Dec, 2009 3 Comments

Blogs, forums, people on the street, people on the Wind website. Generally they are all saying the same thing: The Wind plans are great, but the one complaint is the lack of a cheaper data plan.

Right now if you want a data plan with Wind you have to go for the $35 unlimited data (though it is throttled after 5 GB) option. While this is a great deal, it is overkill for the light data user. Do you like things the way they are? Would you like a “light” data plan which was say, $10-$15 for 500MB-1GB? Or would you prefer a standard usage rate of $0.015 per MB?

Wind is listening so let them know what you want, and be sure to vote in the poll below.

What additions should Wind make to their data plans?

    can you people do math?

    0.015 per MB = $7.50 for 500MB and $15 for 1000MB, catch is its charged in accordance to YOUR usage. May be $3.50 one month and $8 the next instead of $10 every month for data you are not using.

    Why would so many be choosing the ‘set rate’, when theres 1/1000 chance you will use EVERY last MB, to where the set rates runs you well over the ‘per-mb’ rate?? are you all under the CTRC warp we’ve been encased in for the past 2 decades, or is math really THAT big of a problem?

    The set rate is only good if you exceed 2500MB per month usage as the per-mb cost then increases over the usage.
    (500MB * 0.015/MB = $7.50)
    (1000MB * $0.015/MB = $15)
    (2500MB * 0.015/MB = $37.50) – Here’s where unlimited would ‘kick’ in at $35 a month offering up to 5GB of usage.

    Yep, I kind of did that on purpose Sabeen. It still seems though that people are leaning towards a flat rate for data, even if a usage model is cheaper.

    I’m sure that in reality the usage model would be priced higher, more like $0.025/MB for this very reason, and I’m sure wind would be cognizant of this.
