Airtel and BSNL broadband: A comparison

by Parminder on 06/19/2008

Airtel broadband advantages

Airtel broadband service is considered to have a more organized, better customer support as compared to that provided by BSNL.

Airtel comes equipped with extra features, luring customers with varied interests. Airtel has recently come up with an on-demand usage scheme wherein the customer pays for as much as he/she uses. This plan will help Airtel stand strongly against less expensive service providers like BSNL.

BSNL broadband advantages

Thanks to the dedicated and wide network, BSNL’s broadband service has a wider reach compared to any service provider operating in India. The service reaches even the rural areas, unlike other major service providers.

BSNL’s broadband service is considered to be more cost-effective that other broadband service providers, making it a popular choice in an economical perspective.

Airtel broadband drawbacks

Compared to BSNL’s broadband service, the Airtel broadband service requires its subscribers to shell out more money.

BSNL broadband drawbacks

BSNL broadband’s popularity has made people queue up for its service. However, the long delay in getting a broadband connection may actually deflect the pursuers to another broadband service provider.

BSNL has not been known for its customer service. Its poor customer support is credited to its state-owned status.

Both the services are popular in their own right.
