Just charge more if you aren't making enough money... Don't do this kind of underhanded crap.


And why exactly wouldn't they charge more and do this crap? That's even more money.


The prices in Germany are already outrageous compared to other countries in Europe. I got a good deal and pay 30 Euro for unlimited data but I've recently checked for a friend and unlimited data would cost her about 70 Euro a month, which is ridiculous.


Yeah I pay 65 Euros a month for an unlimited mobile data plan with Deutsche Telekom, and that's with a young person discount and without a phone included.


If a company could charge you more for something then they are already doing it. Companies don’t ask themselves “what’s a fair price for x”, instead they wonder “how can we get more money out of our existing customers”.


Sadly, this is irrelevant. Running a corporation within a capitalist system will always optimize for maximum value extraction. Even if they can charge more in base price, this scheme always yields even more on top.
