BSNL UPGRADES BROADBAND SPEED TO MINIMUM OF 4 Mbps

BSNL Upgrades Broadband Speed

BSNL has announced a reformulation of most of its popular broadband tariff plans with effect from 1 May 2017. This applies to all the existing as well as new broadband subscribers enrolled in majority of the pan-India as well circle-specific plans having FMC (Fixed Monthly Charges) of Rs. 675 and above. The speed is being enhanced to a minimum of 4 Mbps initial download speed (before FUP quota is reached). Moreover, in many of the plans, the FUP (Fair Usage Policy) limit is being substantially enhanced - even by 250% (for example in a specific case, 20 GB goes up to 70 GB).

BB Combo ULD 1199 plan, which was hitherto having a flat download speed of 2 Mbps, will henceforth have a speed of upto 4 Mbps till 20GB, and upto 2 Mbps beyond that. This is the cheapest BB+voice plan on date, where the effective rate works out to less than a rupee per GB !

Existing subscribers already enrolled in all these plans will be automatically upgraded on 1 May 2017, and do not need to do anything. Moreover, there is an add-on Friends’n’Family scheme for unlimited talking from a landline - with upto three specific numbers on all-India basis.
