Broadband is an indispensable network service in our daily life, which allows us to enjoy a high-speed Internet experience, which is convenient for our work, study, entertainment and other needs. However, broadband also has a time limit, generally charged annually or monthly, and needs to be processed after expiration, otherwise it may affect our normal use or even cause some losses.
So, what should we do when broadband expires? In fact, we have three options, which are renewal, suspension or cancellation. Below, we will take a closer look at the pros, cons and specific steps of these three methods.
Renewal is the most common choice, and it is also the easiest option, which is to continue to pay a certain fee according to the original ** before the expiration of the broadband and extend the use period of the broadband. In this way, we can continue to enjoy broadband services without any interruption or change.
The advantage of renewal is that it is convenient and fast, there is no need to change any equipment or settings, and it will not affect our broadband account, password, ** and other information, and only need to pay a certain fee to complete. Moreover, you can also enjoy some preferential activities for renewal, such as free phone bills, traffic, memberships, etc., or discounts, cashbacks, etc., which can save some expenses.
The disadvantage of renewal is that the cost is relatively high, because the ** of broadband is changed with the change of the market, and new ** or offers may appear, which are more cost-effective than our original **, but if we continue to renew, we will not be able to enjoy these new offers, and there may be some losses.
There are many steps to renew, and we can choose the most suitable method according to our preferences and habits. In general, there are several ways:
Renew through your carrier's customer service**. This is the most traditional way, we only need to call the customer service of our broadband operator**, such as China Mobile's 10086, China Unicom's 10010, China Telecom's 10000, follow the voice prompts, enter our broadband account and ID number, and then apply for renewal. After renewal, we can pay the fee through bank card, Alipay, WeChat, etc., or pay it at the offline business hall.
Renew through the operator's official website or app. This is the most convenient way, we only need to log in to the official website or app of our broadband operator, such as China Mobile's 10086com, China Unicom's 10010com, China Telecom's 189cn, find the entrance of broadband renewal, enter our broadband account and password, and then you can apply for renewal. After renewal, we can pay the fee directly, or choose another payment method.
Renew through a third-party platform. This is the most flexible way, we can find the entrance to broadband renewal through some third-party platforms, such as Alipay, WeChat, JD.com, **, etc., enter our broadband account and operator, and then you can apply for renewal. After renewal, we can pay the fee directly, or choose another payment method. The advantage of this way is that you can compare different carriers and**, choose the one that suits you best, and you can also enjoy some additional benefits or rebates.
Reporting is a temporary option, but also a saving option, that is, after the broadband expires, or before the broadband expires, temporarily stop the broadband service, and wait until we need to use it, and then reactivate it. In this way, we can save some money when we are not using broadband, and it will not affect our broadband information, but it will not be available for a while.
The advantage of reporting is to save costs, and it is suitable for some users who do not need to use broadband in the short term, such as business trips, travel, home, etc., and can stop or open broadband at any time according to their own needs, without wasting some unnecessary costs. Moreover, the suspension can also retain our broadband account, password, ** and other information, and will not be cancelled or invalidated because of long-term non-use.
The disadvantage of reporting is that you need to pay a certain fee for reporting and stopping, although it is much lower than the normal broadband fee, but it is not completely free, generally between 5 and 10 yuan, depending on different operators. Moreover, there is a certain time limit for reporting and stopping, which cannot be reported indefinitely, generally within 3 or 6 months, if this time is exceeded, it may be automatically cancelled or converted to a monthly subscription, and it is necessary to re-apply for broadband.
There is generally only one step to report stop, that is, to go to the offline business hall to handle it, and we need to bring our ID card and broadband account number to the business hall of our broadband operator to apply for stop. Once we have reported the stoppage, we have the option to pay the stop fee in cash or other means, or deduct it from our broadband balance. The time of reporting can be chosen by yourself, generally in months, with a minimum of one month and a maximum of half a year.
Cancellation is a complete and irreversible choice, which is to permanently cancel the broadband service after or before the broadband expires, and no longer use the broadband and no longer pay any fees. In this way, we can completely get rid of the shackles of broadband, no longer have to worry about the expiration or renewal of broadband, and no longer have to occupy broadband equipment or resources.
The advantage of cancellation is that it is completely liquidated, which is suitable for some users who do not need to use broadband for a long time or permanently, such as moving, changing networks, withdrawing from the network, etc., which can solve the problem of broadband once and for all, and no longer have to worry about broadband. Moreover, the cancellation can also refund some fees, such as the deposit, balance, gift, etc. of the broadband, which can reduce some losses.
