The tariff plans that telecommunication operators offer is wide and dynamic, generating a diverse range of tariffs and conditions that make difficult for users to determine the best choice.
In this context, and as part of the institutional policy of empowering user with information, the OSIPTEL arranged to put all updated commercial information in the market available for users, in order to compare, and thus choose the best choice.
Comparatel was developed for this purpose, as a digital tool that systematizes and arranges the current tariff plans offered, in order to be available to the public in a friendly way, allowing comparison based on what is really needed.
When you enter Comparatel (comparatel.pe), you have four services: Two calculators to determine mobile data consumption and home Internet speed; and two to compare tariff plans. The user must set up the tariff that plans to invest, the amount of data or the speed needed, and Comparatel will present a dashboard with all current offers in the market.
Comparatel was entirely developed by the OSIPTEL, and it is constantly improving. It has been available since February 2020 and has been visited by more than 830 000 people.
