Not sure where you get that impression, but I don't think it is true at all. The following are the standard CH mobile plans by the largest providers in Switzerland.
Swisscom: 3×unlimited, 3×limited
Salt: 3×unlimited, 2×limited
Sunrise: 1×unlimited, 2×limited
In total they have 7 unlimited and 7 limited plans. The unlimited are mostly very expensive. Also note that the article mentioned they measured 14 plans in total which exactly matches the total number of plans above. But that of course might be a coincidence. Most plans of smaller providers are also limited in my experience.
- pw6hv 6y agoThanks for the observation. Still I do not understand how would they have extrapolated price per GB when considering an unlimited plan. Can that be that they just took the price of the unlimited plan and assumed that's the price of 1GB? That would not be wrong, but a bit deceiving to say the least. Otherwise I would not know how the max price is ~50USD. Swisscom gives me ~15CHF per 1GB, and that is usually seen as the most expensive company.
