LG Uplus launches 200M internet plans for homes and small businesses

LG Uplus has launched a 200M internet plan, expanding its lineup to give customers a broader range of options that better reflect how they actually use the internet.

The company said Sunday it is rolling out five 200M internet products targeting households and small-business stores. The new tier slots into the existing speed lineup — previously anchored at 100M, 500M and 1 gigabit — and reflects shifts in usage behavior among customers currently on 100M plans, including rising overall data consumption.

Internet usage patterns have been changing in both home and commercial settings. At home, demand has grown for high-definition video streaming and generative AI applications. In small-business stores, simultaneous use of point-of-sale terminals, kiosks, security cameras and computers has become standard. As a result, even customers on 100M plans have increasingly sought faster speeds and greater stability.

In response, LG Uplus restructured its internet speed tiers into four levels: 100M, 200M, 500M and 1 gigabit. The 200M option is designed as a middle-ground choice for customers dealing with heavier usage and more simultaneous connections — faster and more stable than 100M, but less expensive than the 500M plan.

The 200M plan costs 3,300 won (about $2.40, VAT included) more per month than the existing 100M plan. The five products available are: Wi-Fi Basic Ansim 200M, Premium Ansim 200M, Premium Ansim Compensation 200M, (SOHO) Payment Ansim 200M and (SOHO) Ansim Compensation 200M. Bundled devices and add-on services — including a harmful-site blocking service — remain the same as those offered with the 100M products.

LG Uplus said it plans to continue refining its internet product lineup and strengthening the quality and stability customers can experience across a range of environments, from homes to stores.

"The 200M internet plan was developed by analyzing real changes in how our customers use the internet," said Yoo Ho-seong, head of LG Uplus's home business division. "We will keep upgrading our product lineup so customers can choose an internet service — an everyday essential — that fits their own usage environment."
