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.
