What is Data Pack?
Data Packs are blocks of data volume available for purchase which allows users to download a specific amount of data each period (1GB, 2GB, 5GB, etc.). Data packs are available on a pre-paid basis, i.e. users must pay for the specific amount of data volume before they use it. The data packs are valid for a specific period of time like daily, weekly, monthly, or more.

The disadvantage of the data pack.
The data packs offer a certain volume of data for a limited time (daily, weekly, monthly). If you pay the price for the data packs and do not consume all the data at that time, you will waste your money on unused data. So, for people who do not consume more data, it is better to pay usage-based that is PayG pay as you Go or pay per MB. Ntc has been providing Rs 1 per MB data tariff, without any data packs.
