Movistar surprises its customers by doubling their Internet speed for free

Movistar announces an increase in the connection speed of certain clients who will see a large increase in their number of megabytes. They will go from a 300 Mbps fiber connection to 600 Mbps.

Movistar, the most renowned telecommunications company, continues to innovate in the market and offer benefits to its customers. Increasing connection speed, for example, has traditionally been a great strategy used by to increase its customer base despite price increases in its services.

That is why on this occasion they announce great news for those who have hired miMovistar Max and Fusiones —not Fusion Pro— with speeds of 300 Mb or less. As of July 1, Movistar will double connection capacity at no cost by significantly increasing speed up to 600 Mbps.

“We know that connectivity has become essential for your day to day, because what passes through our network is not voice or data, it is people’s lives”explains Movistar in an email addressed to its clients.

“That’s why we want to take your experience to the next level. So that you can enjoy the most reliable network on the market to the fullest, starting on July 1, 2023, and progressively until October, we will increase the speed of fiber from 300 Mb to 600 Mb at no additional cost to you and without you having to do anything”the company adds.

An increase without surcharge for the moment

In the past and as detailed Broadband.eu, they made an improvement in the connection speed at the beginning of 2021, going from 600 Mbps to 1 Gbps. However, due to the technical limitations of the HGU router —a 3-in-1 brand router— currently used by Movistar, it has not been possible to offer higher speeds in these cases.

An important aspect to emphasize is that Movistar has qualified that this improvement will not affect the monthly price of the rate. They also explain that the speed will be implemented gradually over several months, ensuring that the operator’s network can effectively handle the increase in traffic.

It has been commented before that this novelty will not be accompanied by any surcharge on the rate, although the experience and what happened before could be an answer in the future. The truth is that this increase in connection speed in the past Yes, it meant a small increase in the quota but it was announced months later, so for now we have to wait and see what happens.
