Home internet: contract terms offered by major carriers

none, 1, 2 or 3 yearsterm options published

Recorded to contradict the idea that the three-year contract is the Korean standard and the only real choice. It is the most common and usually the cheapest per month, and it is one of several published options — which matters most to the people least suited to it, since a resident whose stay is uncertain is routinely signed onto thirty-six months without being told a no-contract price exists.

Anyone signing a home internet contract in Korea, including short-stay foreign residents

What we have recorded

    none, 1, 2 or 3 years

    Major carriers publish no-contract, one-year, two-year and three-year prices for the same service, with the monthly charge falling as the term lengthens. The gap between the no-contract and three-year price on the same speed is the discount being recovered if the contract ends early.

One reading so far. This becomes a history the first time the figure moves while we are watching — which is the part that cannot be reconstructed later.
