Telikom Papua New Guinea has introduced what it describes as one of its most affordable long-term internet offerings, the BLU + Plan, a 90-day data bundle aimed at providing customers with extended connectivity at a lower cost. The company says the plan is designed to support both casual and regular users who require steady internet access over a longer period.
The BLU + Plan offers 75GB of data for K85, valid for 90 days. When broken down, the package works out to approximately K0.94 per day over the full validity period. In terms of value per data, the cost is about K1.13 per GB, making it a competitive option in the prepaid mobile data market.
However, usage analysis shows that the plan suits moderate users more than heavy consumers. If a customer uses around 2GB per day, the total 75GB allocation would last only about 37.5 days. This means that although the bundle is valid for 90 days, high-usage customers would exhaust their data well before the expiry date.
At that consumption rate, a user would require approximately 180GB to fully cover the 90-day period. This creates a shortfall of about 105GB under the current BLU + Plan allocation. Telikom PNG has, however, added some flexibility by announcing a 30% data rollover feature, allowing customers to carry forward unused data into the next valid cycle, helping reduce wastage for lower or irregular usage patterns.
Despite the limitations for heavy users, the BLU + Plan is expected to benefit students, light internet users, and households seeking predictable long-term data costs. With its extended validity and rollover benefit, Telikom PNG says the plan is part of its effort to improve affordability and access to digital services across the country.
The other rates include 120GB for K140
