Selecting a mobile prepaid plan depends on your lifestyle, usage type, and budget. Heavy Internet users often look for uncapped speed and unlimited 5G to support streaming or gaming. Students and young professionals typically prefer an affordable prepaid plan with enough data, unlimited calls, unlimited hotspot, and balanced costs. Budget-conscious users focus on lower prices and longer validity periods, while casual or short-term users may opt for daily or weekly passes for flexibility without long-term commitments.

The main difference lies in payment and flexibility:
- Prepaid Plan: You pay first and use later. Mobile prepaid plans let you control spending, choose an affordable prepaid plan, and enjoy flexible validity periods. They’re ideal for budget-conscious users who prefer short-term commitments.
- Postpaid Plan: You use first and pay later with a monthly bill. Postpaid plans often come with larger bundled data, unlimited calls, and unlimited 5G benefits, but they require long-term commitments.
In short, prepaid is about flexibility, while postpaid is about convenience and bigger mobile internet packages.

The reduced speed is capped at 512kbps which allows fairly good user experience for video streaming on standard definition, social media apps, internet browsing, etc.

The Unlimited Internet Pass with faster speed will take precedence.
