BSNL announces Rs. 491 broadband plan

New Delhi, Jul 05: In a good news for BSNL users, The state-run based telecom network Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited(BSNL) has announced a Rs 491 broadband plan, that offers 20GB of data per day over 30 days.

The new plan is said to be available across customer service centers, franchisees, and retailers. In a tweet, BSNL board member NK Mehta was quoted saying that the Rs 491 plan would benefit individuals as well as small and medium entrepreneurs.

As per the Rs 491 plan, BSNL broadband subscribers would receive 600GB of data, at speeds of up to 20Mbps. In addition, these users can also make unlimited voice calls across networks.

This move comes soon after the revamp of various non-FTTH broadband plans, that begin from Rs 99. While each of these plans enables browsing at speeds of up to 20Mbps, the Rs 99 plan also offers 45GB of data.

Recent reports have also indicated that the state-run telco will offer two-month free broadband, with up to 20Mbps speed, for those purchasing new laptops and PCs.

The latest move by BSNL is an attempt to make it competitive against both Reliance Jio and Vodafone.

Among its new FTTH (fiber-to-the-home) offerings, BSNL had also introduced the Fibro Combo plans, priced at Rs 777 and Rs 1,277 respectively.

While users purchasing the Rs 777 plan would receive 500GB of internet at speeds of up to 50Mbps, those with the Rs 1,277 plan would get 750GB at speeds of up to 100Mbps.
