AI flat rates for programming are mathematically unsustainable

by

A Claude Max user, who pays $100 a month, generated $5,600 in actual API costs in a single billing cycle. It is just an (extreme) example of the enormous gap between the price of such a plan and its spending potential. Other analyzes place it on the range of between 1,000 and 5,000 dollars. Anthropic has just cut off access to third-party tools (such as OpenClaw) to your subscription plans. In addition to for protecting your fenced gardenis also the inevitable arithmetic consequence of selling tokens at open buffet prices when real consumption has skyrocketed between 10 and 100 times. Why is it important. The business model that has financed the explosion of AI for programmers (flat rates, unlimited access, subscription model) has been built on a statistical fiction that development agents have destroyed. What is assumed when a flat rate is sold in any area is that light users subsidize the most intensive ones and the averages are sustained. That works in the data rates of a telecom, in the gyms, in Netflix and in an all-you-can-eat buffet. But it doesn’t work when any user can become, from one day to the next, a beastly consumer of computing. And that’s exactly what happens when an agent comes into play. And since December we are in the era of the agents. Between the lines. The person who has best explained this problem is Luo Fuliresponsible for the team MiMo model on Xiaomi and ex-DeepSeek, who has published a long tweet which has moved especially in Chinese technological circles. Your diagnosis is that third party tools like OpenClaw are not optimized to reuse Claude’s context cache, so each query regenerates context windows of over 100,000 tokens from scratch. The actual number of requests per query is several times higher than what Claude Code himself would generate. “That’s not a gap. It’s a crater,” Luo said. The backdrop. In China, AI programming plans have become one of the most sought-after technology products on the market. Alibaba Cloud quotas They usually sell out in the first hours of the work dayand Tencent’s appear as “unavailable” permanently. Developers go so far as to set morning alarms and write scripts self-purchase to get monthly access. The demand is real, but the underlying economics point in the opposite direction: subscription plans, designed for a world where each interaction consumed a few hundred tokensnow absorb agent workloads that consume 10 to 100 times more per task. Yes, but. Anthropic has not closed access to third-party agents. You have moved them to another invoice: from flat rate to pay-as-you-go API. The measure includes a one-time credit equivalent to the monthly price of the plan and discounts of up to 30% for those who pre-purchase “extra use” packages. The problem is that for many independent developers, the jump in costs, potentially tenfold, makes the use of agents no longer economically viable. Some have already announced that they will migrate to other models. Someone has to pay for that party, and until a new, more efficient solution arrives, no one knows who it will be. The big question. If flat rate can’t survive actual agent usage, what pricing model can? Luo Fuli believes that economic pressure will eventually force third-party tool developers to optimize their context management and maximize cache reuse. He may be right and his approach is logical. But in the meantime, the entire industry is operating with a business model whose math doesn’t add up, and the question of who will absorb the difference (suppliers, developers or end users) remains unanswered.

Ryanair proposes burying the hatchet with Aena and negotiating the new rates until 2031

by

There are many signs that define a toxic relationship. Ryanair and Aena seem to have fully entered into one of them. The Irish company is playing the good cop, bad cop game with the airport manager. But, unlike what usually happens, there is only one player here. One that unfolds and that attacks as soon as it reaches out. What happens? That Ryanair “would welcome the opportunity to sit down with Aena and agree on competitive incentive programs, available to all airlines, that would stimulate traffic.” That is, a hand extended after continued attacks on Aena, the company in charge of managing the vast majority of Spanish airports. There is only one problem, that proposal must be found in the fifth paragraph of a statement that repeats over and over again the position that the airline has taken regarding airport taxes in our country: “Aena’s excessive rates are diverting that traffic towards more competitive airports in other parts of Europe.” What is Ryanair talking about? In its latest publication, Ryanair points to a Aena statement of February 25, 2025 in which the company noted that “passenger traffic at Aena airports in Spain grew by 3.9% in 2025, with 321.6 million passengers.” And not only that, the company assures that in 2026 it will grow another 1.3% to reach around 326 million passengers. But the true origin of the last exchange of statements was found a few days ago. On February 18Aena presented its proposal for the coming years with an average annual increase in airport taxes of 3.8% between 2027 and 2031. The increase will result in an increase of 0.43 euros per passenger, according to Aena. The company assures that these increases are essential to undertake an investment wave of 12,888 million euros with a great boost from the Canarian airports that should receive investments worth 1.8 billion euros. very hard. “The Aena monopoly statement of Wednesday, February 25, is astonishing for its inability to understand how to take advantage of Spain’s airport infrastructure to boost traffic, tourism and employment,” is how the press release that Ryanair has distributed begins to explain its position regarding Aena’s latest communication. And once again, the company focuses on airport taxes in regional enclaves. “Aena’s DORA III proposal (where investments are collected in the coming years) It is exactly what you would expect from a protected monopoly: defending itself, blaming others and ignoring the damage caused by its own pricing policy. With the DORA III proposals, Aena plans to increase airport taxes by 21% without taking inflation into account. “This will be another nail in the coffin of regional connectivity in Spain for the next five years, unless the CNMC and the Government of Spain intervene and reject this failed monopolistic strategy.” an open door. However, the Irish company opens the door to a new negotiation with Aena despite the fact that this company “has closed the door”, in the words of Ryanair. The airline assures that it intends for part of the 300 new aircraft that will arrive in its fleet to be destined for one of the Spanish airports. And the company is once again focusing on smaller airports. In 2025 they carried out a restructuring that has left some of them, such as Valladolid, completely empty. They claim that their traffic has increased by 11% in Morocco, 9% in Italy and 60% in Albania. Despite this, they do not point out that even with their partial withdrawal have increased their presence in Spain by 100,000 places. And although its 0.5% growth is small, it is also misleading. It has moved more passengers than ever in our country and some withdrawals are understood only by commercial agreements that, in reality, are flights subsidized by local entities. Something that Morocco applies but that also have been using some town halls in Spain. Interested. What seems evident is that Spain continues to be one of the main airport markets in Europe. Last year, our country reached a new tourist record: 97 million. And the great objective is to achieve break the barrier of 100 million tourists this same year. Aena is aware that tourism is a powerful weapon when it comes to putting pressure on airlines with annual increases. Maurici Lucena, president of Aena, pointed to a lack of responsibility on the part of the airlines and to acting “in bad faith” when they criticize the increases, in words reported by EFE. For its part, the Association of Airlines (ALA) presses for the CNMC to reduce Aena’s proposal which they call a “high rate” while they have presented a proposal that advocates lowering rates by 4.8%. The gap between both proposals is 4,950 million euros. Photo | Xataka In Xataka |

Countries are desperate to raise their birth rates. They have a very simple weapon to apply: teleworking

by

He aging population is one of the most pressing problems for large economies around the world. The birth rate is a pillar in a country’s economy, since the economy, the labor market, education and health, among many other policies, depend on it. When governments talk about “birth crisis“, they almost always resort to the same repertoire of solutions: baby checks, tax deductions or daycare aid. The problem is that, after years of applying them, fertility in most rich countries continues on the ground. However, a new study raises a new perspective: what if the solution to the birth rate problem was in the way we work? In that scenario, teleworking appears as a surprisingly powerful lever. Telework to have more children. a study carried out by researchers at Stanford University has discovered that offering work flexibility and teleworking improves the fertility rate in couples in which one of the members teleworks. The researchers did not measure the number of births (natality), but rather the fertility indicator. That is, the number of children that participants say they plan to have. The result is difficult to ignore because someone who does not have free time or who considers that they could not take on the upbringing of a child, nor do they consider having one. That is to say, there is no such predisposition, which does not help the birth rate grows. According to the study, going from having no teleworking option to teleworking five days a week is associated with an approximate increase of 0.13 children per woman in terms of expected fertility. This is equivalent to an increase of between 7% and 8% over the average of the group analyzed. Birth and fertility are not the same. It should be noted that talking about birth and fertility represents different scenarios, and this confusion can distort the debate. The birth rate It is the number of births that occur in a country during a specific period. It is the most common data when talking about birth rate since it determines, in real terms, the number of annual births, and allows it to be compared with the number of deaths to establish the demographic balance. Fertility, on the other hand, is a background indicator. It represents the number of children a woman has (or is expected to have) throughout her life. It is usually expressed as Global Fertility Rate (TGF). The difference between both concepts is important. While the birth rate can vary from year to year (for example, advancing decisions or in response to certain policies) without changing the structural trend, the fertility rate is a long-term metric: it indicates whether a woman plans to have only one child (no matter the year) or more. Motivated to have children. Examples like South Korea or Japan They show how complicated, and how expensive, it is to change a downward birth rate trend. That is why the increase in the intention to have children, without making any investment or applying additional fiscal policies, is very striking. The results of the study suggest that, perhaps, the way forward is not to subsidize the birth of more children, but rather to make the organization of parents’ work compatible with their upbringing. It’s not for money: it’s for time. For years, the political response has been fairly predictable. Having children is expensiveso you have to put money on the table to lighten that burden. The problem is that, although in most homes they need two salaries To survive, the truly scarce resource is time to take care of the children. Teleworking and flexible hours have reduced this daily friction since it implies less time traveling, greater control over schedules and, above all, greater ability to react to unforeseen events. for child care. The report ‘Women in the Workplace’ prepared by McKinsey showed that the lack of flexible hours forces many women to reduce their hours or stagnate their professional career. On this point, the conclusions of the Stanford researchers fit with the data that Pew Research got In a previous survey: Even with the difficulties of reconciling family and work, the majority of respondents considered it necessary to continue working and did not want to sacrifice their professional careers. What they needed was a job that does not make work life and childcare incompatible. It needs investment, but it is cheap. The study concludes that to match the fertility rate achieved by teleworking, it would be necessary to apply fiscal policies and incentives at a much higher cost. Subsidized childcare can improve the situation, but none of these measures make it easier. child care on a day-to-day basis, nor does it encourage families to have more children that complicate logistics even more. The time availability and flexibility of teleworking does. This does not mean that the implementation of teleworking is free. Has organizational costs for companiesyou cannot telework in all sectors and it can generate inequalities between employees whose positions do allow teleworking and those who do not.

the map that shows the distribution of world birth rates

by

In Brilliant Maps we can find a multitude of very interesting maps and infographics that allow us to obtain context about demographics, culture, and curiosities at a global level. In one of your latest maps shows us the chances of a baby being born on each continent during 2026. The data, based on 2023 birth figures from Our World In Datareveal that it is in Asia and Africa where more than 80% of all births on the planet are concentrated. Specifically, if you were born in 2026, you would have many chances to be Indian. The geography of global birth rates. Of the approximately 132 million babies that will be born in 2026, almost half will be born in Asia (49.7%), followed by Africa with 34.9%. These two regions accumulate 111.7 million births, while the rest of the continents share only the remaining 15.4%. Europe, with only 6.3 million births, represents only 4.8% of the world total. A figure that contrasts with the more than 140 million births annually that were recorded just a few years ago. India leads the ranking by country. The Asian country tops the list with 23.2 million expected births, far ahead of China (8.9 million) and Nigeria (7.5 million). These three countries concentrate almost 30% of all global births. The data from China is especially striking, and it is that just a few years ago, the Asian giant recorded 16 million births annually, which shows the impact of its demographic crisis. Five other African or Asian countries appear among the top ten: Pakistan, Indonesia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia and Bangladesh, while Brazil completes the top ten with 2.6 million expected births. On the other hand, it is worth noting that the United States occupies eighth place with more than 3.6 million births. Spain, touching the top 50. Europe has the lowest birth rates in relative terms of all continents, only ahead of Oceania and North America in absolute numbers. Continent fertility rates remain below replacement level since the 70sa phenomenon that has now spread to practically the entire planet. Spain will register approximately 336,821 births in 2026, ranking 51st in the world, behind Italy (384,627) and France (638,891), but ahead of Poland (317,916). Germany leads Western Europe with 719,249 births, while the United Kingdom reaches 688,388. Nigeria, the African exception. The African country stands out for its position in third place in the world, far ahead of what its economic size might suggest. Your birth rate almost double the world averagea phenomenon linked to factors such as limited access to education for women and a developing economy. Africa will take over in 2100. The projection for the end of the century marks a radical change in the global demographic distribution. According to the dataAfrica will go from the current 34.9% to 48% of world births, becoming the continent with the highest birth rate. Asia, on the other hand, would decrease to 38.17%. And Europe would fall to 4.49%, consolidating its demographic decline. These estimates suggest that more than half of the world’s babies will be born in Africa within 75 years. World population. According to projections According to The Lancet, the world population will reach its peak in the 2060s with 9.7 billion people, and then decline to 8.8 billion in 2100. There are many reasons that can explain this exaggerated demographic change, such as increasing global wealth, access to education, urbanization or changes in gender roles. Some researchers, such as the economist Claudia Goldin, they point to a mismatch between the desires of men and women regarding parenting as a determining factor, pointing out that as long as social structures do not facilitate cooperation in parenting, rates will continue to fall.

Russia is trying to conquer the Chinese pig market. Beijing has just provided it with rates of up to 62% to the EU

by

Beijing has decided to strengthen its pressure on the European pig sector in an evening retaliation to The rates applied By Brussels to the electric cars ‘Made in China’. And plan to do it big, adding tariffs of up to 62.4% to EU meat exports. In Spain the employer already He has nuanced That their companies will pay only 20% (some less), but if there is a country that can look with satisfaction, China’s decision is not Spain, but Russia. After all, Moscow has been wanting to win Market share in Asia. What happened? That the European pig has started September with turbulence. Turbulence that also affect one of its large markets: China. On Friday the Ministry of Commerce of the Asian Giant advertisement that since Wednesday will impose provisional tariffs of up to 62.4% To a series of pig products and by -products, a whole malazo for the community sector, which every year sells in China thousands and thousands of tons of pork. According to the Pig333 specialized platform, only during the first quarter of 2025 the EU exported more than 1.1 million tons to countries located outside the community club. Among the nations that contributed the most to that figure are Spain, with 35% of exports, followed by Netherlands, Denmark and Poland. At the other end of the chain, the fate of the meat is China, which was made with 296,500 tons, almost 27% of the total. It is followed by the United Kingdom and the Philippines. What does that rate of 62.4%mean? The figure is overwhelming, but Beijing’s tariff policy will not affect all EU countries equally. In an interporp fact, the agri -food interprofessional organization of the white -layer Portio, stands out that the Spanish industry will be the best standing in Europe. Although the rate will effectively reach 62.4% for the company of other countries in the region, the employer clarifies that for local firms that penalty will be quite lower: 20%or even lower in some specific case. And what is the reason? EFE Precise That the largest tariffs, up to 62.4%, will apply to companies that do not collaborate with Chinese authorities. Those who do will see how that low rate at 20%, the percentage that the well, Noel, Campofrío, Cárnicas Five Villas, Fiselva or Sánchez Romero Cavajal must face. The general photo is however more complex: China plans to do certain exceptions with the companies that his delegation has taken by way of sample for his investigation. Among them are the Dutch Vion, which will face a tariff of 32.7%; Danish Danish Crown, who will assume a rate of 31.3%; and the Spanish Litera Meat, based in Huesca, the most favored with 15.6%. Why those rates? Largely for the automotive. Perhaps the meat and automobile industry do not have much to do, but if we talk about economic policy, commercial flow and tariffs things change. When Brussels decided Upload your rates To the electric cars ‘Made in China’, Beijing reacted pointing to one of the European sectors that depends most on the Asian giant, the pig. As? The Xi Jinping government began an investigation ‘Antidumping’ Focused on EU’s pig imports, a process with which, China alleges wants to avoid the alleged unfair competition that affects its own companies. These investigations began in 2024, but In June Beijing decided to expand the investigation until at least mid -December. Once the process ends, the government will announce the permanent tariffs, but until then it has opted for temporary rates. As remember The Ministry of Commerce, its preliminary study identified a case of dumping Related to pork from the EU, which would have caused “important damage” to Chinese companies. Is it so serious? It is no accident that Beijing has set just in that sector. China is a Important producer of pigs, but also a enormous gigantic market that matters every year hundreds of thousands of tons of meat, a flow that generates in turn thousands of millions of dollars. And that market the EU (and especially countries with broad livestock cabins, such as Spain) plays a key role. Despite having slightly reduced its purchases, in 2024 the Asian giant remained the main destination of community pork, with a flow of 1.12 million of tons. In 2020, when the sector of the country was affected by the African swine plague, that data came to 3.34 million. In the specific case of Spain, which together with Germany and France plays A fundamental role In the European pig industry, the figures are equally eloquent. “China is the main destination market for the meat and by -products of the Spanish pig. In 2024 exports to this country reached 540,000 t, with a value greater than 1,097 million euros, which represents almost 20% of the total exported volume and 12.5% ​​of the value of sales,” remember Interporc. Is it bad for everyone? No. There is a country that probably see with expectation commercial tensions between China and Europe, especially if we talk about the pig sector: Russia. Moscow was set out from the appetizing (and millionaire) Chinese market for about A decade and a half Due to the health restrictions applied by Beijing in 2008 to protect from the African pig plague. That veto was broken in March 2024, when Russia managed to send a first game of 27 tons of pig to the Asian giant. It was a modest amount, true, but a success for Russia, which had been trying to open a hole in the Chinese market for years. Last July, Russian pork exports to China already reached 12.4 million dollars, According to Echemiwhich ensures that this figure represents a 22% increase compared to June. It is not the only sign that Moscow is managing to recover land in the Asian market. Just a few days ago the Intefax agency revealed That Kremlin expects Beijing to increase the number of Russian companies authorized to export meat to China, a possibility that looks with optimism. “We are communicating … Read more

one million places less for Aena’s rates

by

The Irish airline returns to the load announcing a drastic reduction of its operation in Spain for the winter season. The company will eliminate a million places in regional airports and cancel 36 direct routes, in a new escalation of its conflict with AENA for airport rates. The toughest blow. Ryanair will completely close his operations base in Santiago de Compostela, where he maintained two aircraft, and will suspend all flights to Vigo since January 2026 and Tenerife Norte from this winter. Besides, will keep the bases of Valladolid and Jerez closedas he did during this summer. Impact on numbers. The decision supposes The loss of 1.25 million annual seats Only in Galicia, according to the company’s figures. In the Peninsula as a whole, Ryanair It will reduce its capacity in regional airports by 41% (600,000 places less) and in the Canary Islands by 10% (400,000 places less). Santiago’s closure will also imply The loss of more than 100 jobs Between pilots and cabin crew, although the airline has promised to offer transfers to other bases. Other airports in the spotlight. The cuts too They will affect significantly to Zaragoza (-45%capacity), Santander (-38%), Asturias (-16%) and Vitoria (-2%). In total, the company will cancel 36 direct connections with regional and canary destinations, diverting these flights to Italy, Morocco, Croatia and Albania. The official justification. Eddie Wilson, CEO of Ryanair, has attributed These measures to the 6.62% increase in airport rates that AENA will apply from next year. “We cannot justify a continuous investment in airports whose growth is blocked by excessive and uncommunchanting rates,” said Wilson, who encrypted in 200 million dollars the lost investment in Galicia. Aena’s answer. The airport operator He has responded Hardly, accusing Ryanair of practicing “Phariseism, bad education and blackmail.” Maurici Lucena, president of Aena, has defended that Spanish rates are “the most competitive of the European environment” and has criticized what he considers “a disturbing plutocratic conception” of the Irish company. Beyond rates. Although officially the conflict focuses on airport rates, the tension between Ryanair and the Spanish government includes other fronts, such as The fine of 109 million euros imposed by consumption by hand luggage policies, currently suspended by the courts. Galicia takes the worst part. In the specific case of Vigo, the cessation of operations will arrive after the end of the tourism promotion agreement of 1.8 million euros signed with the City Council, which has not been renewed. The Xunta de Galicia has already announced that it will request an urgent meeting of the Airport Coordination Committee to demand a change in AENA’s policy towards medium and small airports.

The effect of interest rates on their results

by

Juan Roig has found in recent years a new and lucrative source of income for Mercadona that goes beyond the sale of products in its stores: the management of your treasury He reported 180 million euros in 2024, 13% of its total benefits. The context. The increase in interest rates has turned the Mercadona Treasury into a machine to generate benefits, going from contributing only 5 million in 2022 (0.7% of the benefit) to 180 million in 2024 (13% of the benefit). This phenomenon is directly related to the supermarket business model, where customers pay at the time of purchase, generating surpluses of liquidity that can be deposited in banking entities. Simpler: Mercadona charges its customers instantly but pays its suppliers to installs, allowing you to accumulate billions in the bank generating interest. In figures. Mercadona closed 2024 with benefits of 1,384 million euros37% more than in 2023, with 5,692 million in cash and liquid assets equivalent to the end of the year. The financial result has multiplied by 36 in three years: 5 million in 2022 to 180 million in 2024. The total turnover reached 38,800 million, 9% more than in 2023. What has happened. He End of the negative types cycle in 2022 It was a turning point in the financial management of the Valencian company. Although the Euribor ranged between 3.7% and 2.4% for 2024, Mercadona was improving its financial margin through more efficient management. Roig’s company has increased its financial benefits even when interest rates have shown a downward trend. That demonstrates active management. Between bambalins. This improvement in financial income coincides with the culmination of the process of transformation of its supermarkets. Mercadona invested 419 million in 2024 to adapt stores to Efficient model “Store 8” (Diaphanous spaces, prepared dishes section, term and acoustic insulation …), 231 million less than in 2023. The combination of savings in investments (231 million) and the improvement of the financial margin (additional 92 million compared to 2023) explains much of the increase in the benefit. Deepen. The Phenomenon of Mercadona is an example of a trend among large retail companies with a lot of cash generation: diversification towards financial activities taking advantage of their liquidity surpluses. This “hidden bank” within the supermarket company has become an extra competitive advantage against chains with lower financial muscle. By 2025, Mercadona provides for a more moderate growth in sales (3.5%, up to 40,100 million) and a consolidation of the benefit. If we read the latter between the lines we can intuit that they anticipate a lower interest rates scenario in the future.

It is not necessary to blow so that the DGT knows if you have drunk. And nothing has to do with new devices, fines or breathalyzer rates

by

Alcohol behind the wheel has become one of the great conversation issues of recent times in mobility in Spain. Since the DGT announced that it wants to change the maximum permitted rates at the wheel, the Internet and social networks have been filled with articles with supposed changes in this regard. The reality: everything remains the same. An intention. At the moment, that’s the only thing we have. The maximum alcohol rate allowed at the wheel remains the same as always despite the DGT and the Interior Ministry They have been favorable to a reduction of these rates until the consumption of a beer is impracticable if we are going to put ourselves behind the wheel. With the changes, the DGT wants to punish alcohol consumption if it is conducted. In his own words, You can’t do it with a 0.0 rate because it can generate some judicial conflicts in very rare cases but in practice you cannot drink. What is applied right now? What is currently applied is, in general, a Maximum alcohol rate of 0.5 gr/L of alcohol in exhaled air or 0.25 mg/l of blood alcohol. Overcoming these margins can mean a fine of up to 1,000 euros If we are repeat offenders and will subtract six points in the driving card. What do you want to approve? The intention is lower the maximum limit allowed to 0.20 gr/L of blood alcohol. According to the data provided by DGT itself, a driver could barely take a cane before putting behind the wheel. On average, a woman would have impossible to combine the steering wheel and the drink of alcohol, however small. Is there any change? No, none. AND Nor is there a clear date When this measure will be approved or, even, if approved. At the moment we talk about intentions that need to pass the approval of the Congress of Deputies as it forces to change the GENERAL CIRCULATION REGULATION and the Traffic LawMotor vehicles and road safety. Source: DGT Nor in ethylometers? No, either. In recent days, information that speaks of new devices capable of detecting a positive without blowing have been popularized. These devices have been called proximity alcoholic and, as reflected in some publications, do not need the driver to blow. These supposed new ethylometers are used by the Civil Guard to expedite traffic in the controls. They ensure that just by bringing it to the mouth you can check whether a driver driver or not. In case of positive, the driver has to submit to blood tests to confirm the sanction. It’s true? As almost always, yes and no. Indeed, This way of proceeding exists But from the DGT they make it clear that Nothing has changed. It is working as it had been doing so far with the same as always. That is, we will have to blow if we reach an breathalyzer control. As they assure us from traffic, these alcoholic have a proximity function that is applied in very specific cases, such as a respiratory disease. Only in an assumption of this type is activated and, subsequently, is certified with the blood analysis if a positive occurs. In Xataka we have also contacted the Civil Guard to confirm if something has changed in its way of acting but at the time of writing these lines we have not obtained an answer.

This is what the affected rates will cost as of today

by

The year 2025 has begun as 2024 for Premium operators: with price increases. They suffered it In Vodafone and In Yoigothen it was his turn To Movistarand now it is Orange who has applied An increase in monthly installments of several rates. Although the operator began warning the affected customers a month and a half ago, the day marked by Orange to apply it was today, January 27, 2025. And that has not happened a year since it entered into force The last price increase. The good news is that it is not a general increase throughout Orange’s commercial offer, but It affects only certain services and rates Fiber, mobile and television. Let’s see what those plans are and how much they will cost from now on. You will pay between 2 and 6 euros more per month Unlike Movistar and Vodafone, which every year apply their price increase in January, Orange had accustomed us to make it effective in spring, specifically, in April. But That has changed this year: In 2025, following the example of the competition, the Masorange group operator will also increase its quotas in the first month of the year. Image: Orange That increase, which was already communicated to its clients in advance so that they could unsubscribe if they were not sane, it enters into force today, January 27. The climb affects both the current customers of the affected rates and those that hire them from now on. And what are those rates? Because mainly the most complete fiber, mobile and television love, whose monthly fee It will rise between 2 and 6 euros per month. Of course, in some cases, they will bring an associated improvement (the famous strategy of “more for more”): Initial TV love: duck CIBER Protection and rises 59 to 61 euros per month (2 euros more per month). Initial TV love 2: It rises from 79 to 81 euros per month (2 euros more per month). Love TV Cinema and Series: Add cyber protection and rise 70 to 73 euros per month (3 euros more a month).
