Telia launches discounted unlimited 5G plan with Netflix, C More

Telia Sweden has launched a new package bundling unlimited 5G service with Netflix and its own C More streaming service. The company said this realises its plan to combine the best network and content following its acquisition of Bonnier Broadcasting.  

The new offer costs SEK 499 per month in the first year for unlimited 5G data with the two streaming services. From the second year, the price rises to SEK 659 per month. Existing Netflix subscribers can keep their same account. 

Telia's 5G network launched a year ago and is now available in more than 20 cities around Sweden. The operator already offers unlimited data with C More included, at SEK 609 per month on a 24-month contract.
