We can legitimately ask ourselves the question when we see the operators, at the request of certain image barons, holding their customers to ransom to force-feed them often stupid advertisements. We can even wonder to what extent we are not also attacking a certain form of freedom. Has the time come to liquidate your TV package to denounce this development?
Why not? Indeed, smart TVs give access to an incalculable number of applications which have the merit of highlighting the best content. We can therefore choose what we really want to watch rather than undergo this flood of uninteresting advertisements.
TV: strong competition on the internet
And it’s not the offer that is missing! Channels like Arte or SSR offer a lot of content on the internet and smart TVs. And then there are content providers like Disney+, Amazon Prime or Netlix. And I’ll save the best for last, the various Canal+ products…
If you don’t take advantage of Zattoo, who does not increase his prices, the time has probably come to strike out certain ruinous specific TV offers that would be added to an internet package. That said, before liquidating its traditional TV offer, it is worth studying the market a bit, as there are large price differences. It is therefore essential to bring the competition into play!
When we see that Sunrise UPC charges its TV + internet offers at a rate starting at 89 francs and culminating at 119 francs excluding promotion, we wonder. At Swisscom, apart from time-limited discounts, it costs between 69.80 and 114.70 francs. These rates depend on the speed of the internet connection and the TV offer. In any case, excluding promotion, it’s very, very expensive!
Choose internet alone? Not even!
What if you only choose an internet subscription? At a Wingo, the discounted brand of Swisscom, the 500 Mbits/sec are at 69 francs per month, excluding promotion. And on the side of Yallo, it is necessary to count on 79 francs per month excluding promotion, the speed being able to go up to 10 Gigabits/sec… No doubt, like Sunrise UPC and Swisscom, their brands at the discount are overpriced.
Might as well turn to a slightly more innovative operator! For the record, at Salt 10 Giga Internet + TV is 49.95 francs excluding combination discounts and often 39.95 for certain mobile subscribers. And at this price, on the Apple TV 4K, you can choose whether or not to shun the traditional TV offer, which, it is true, has almost no value today. EBA.
And they want us to pay for skipping ads? Ah these barons of the image of another time. Still glued to dusty concepts from the analog era…

PS
In any case, avoid subscribing to what is close to a form of ransom. Choose the most advantageous subscriptions and turn to more modern digital products. It’s time to play the competition: a wonderful opportunity for Salt and Zattoo!
