BSNL launches 40GB daily data at 100Mbps speed, priced at Rs 2,499

BSNL has unveiled a new Fibre-to-the-Home broadband plan under the Bharat Fibre programme it introduced a few days ago. 

Priced at Rs 2,499, the new FTTH broadband plan from BSNL offers 40GB daily high-speed data at 100Mbps speed. Once the FUP limit of 40GB is hit, users can continue with unlimited downloads, but at reduced speeds of 2Mbps. The plan also includes unlimited voice calling to any network in India.

BSNL has also bundled free email ID and 1GB mailbox space with the plan. However, as noted by TelecomTalk, the plan is only available in select circles, such as Chennai. A similar plan is also available in Calcutta, but the benefits are a bit different, where users will get some cash back. However, the offer hasn’t been clarified by BSNL.

There are two other FTTH plans too, one priced at Rs 1,277 offering 25GB daily data at 100Mbps and post FUP speed of 2Mbps. The third plan is the affordable one priced at Rs 777, where users get 18GB daily data at 50Mbps speed, and post FUP, speed will be throttled to 2Mbps. Both plans also include unlimited calling to any network in India, and 1GB mailbox space.

BSNL is among the largest wired broadband providers in the country and has over 10 million users. It is an offering to take over the Jio GigaFiber service, which claims to offer 35GB data per day at just Rs. 1.1 per GB. Airtel and ACT Fibernet also have strong presence in the wired broadband segment.
