SingTel lowers cap on free data downloads

SingTel customers will no longer enjoy the generous data downloads that come with their smartphone plans. -- ST PHOTO: TERENCE TAN By Irene Tham, Technology Correspondent SingTel customers will no longer enjoy the generous data downloads that come with their smartphone plans. The move comes as telcos seek to cope with surging mobile data traffic which slows down connections for users. From July 1, SingTel will slash the cap on free mobile data use from the current 12GB to as low as 2GB. For its premium plan, the cap will also be reduced to 12GB. Related Links New tiered data plans - 3G and 4G from July 1, 2012 The change comes even as SingTel launches its fourth-generation, or 4G, mobile services today, offering about four times faster surfing for smartphone users.
