Note: From 2018 the accounting of the services which make up bundles has been altered. The so-called “mobile phone Internet” which, until now, was classified as mobile broadband (MBB), is now part of “mobile services - bundles supported by mobile phones”. As an example, a bundle with the three fixed services and with the mobile service through mobile phone including voice and data, was considered a 5P bundle before 2018 and, with the entry into force of the new regulation, it is now a 4P bundle (See Regulation No. 255/2017 of 16 May 2017https://www.anacom.pt/render.jsp?contentId=1415433).
